Fans of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were taken aback by the revelations on Archie Mountbatten Windsor's birth certificate.
The official document, issued when Archie was born two years ago, shed light on crucial details about his birth, as well as intriguing facts about the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry.
Birth certificates, accessible to the public, unveiled not only the significant information but also disclosed Meghan's true identity.
It came as a surprise to many that Meghan's official job title was listed as Princess of the United Kingdom, despite being known as the Duchess.
The document also revealed Meghan's birth name, Rachel, which was unbeknownst to many as she has been recognized as Meghan since birth.
Interestingly, Rachel is the same name as the character she portrayed in the popular TV series Suits.
On the certificate, Prince Harry, Archie's father, was identified by his birth name, Henry.
The location of Archie's birth had been kept confidential until the release of the certificate, which disclosed that he was born at the exclusive Portland Hospital in Westminster, London, known for its luxury amenities such as lavish meals.
The Queen's thoughtfulness towards her great-grandchildren was highlighted when Prince Harry shared the unique Christmas gift she sent Archie last year.
The Queen fulfilled Meghan's suggestion by gifting Archie a waffle maker, much to the surprise of TV host James Corden during an interview on The Late Late Show.
Harry expressed his delight over the gift, narrating how Meghan prepared organic waffle mix for breakfast, a routine that Archie adored.
The unconventional present left James Corden baffled, imagining the Queen ordering a waffle maker for Archie.
As the Sussexes prepare for their first Christmas as a family of four with the addition of daughter Lilibet, they are likely to receive gifts not only from the Queen but also from Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge.
Amid speculations about the strained relationship between William and Harry, the brothers are expected to celebrate the festive season separately, with Archie and Lilibet spending time in California with their parents while William and Kate enjoy the holiday at Sandringham with their children.
In a revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year, Harry spoke about William feeling trapped within the royal system, causing tensions between the siblings.
The rift between the brothers has been a topic of discussion, adding a layer of complexity to the upcoming holiday season.
Despite the challenges faced, the royal family continues to navigate through personal and public expectations, with each member finding their path within the intricate dynamics of royalty.
