HOT NEWS: Prince Harry and Meghan Shockingly Rename Both Their Children Just Before William’s Coronation — “The Royal Family Furious Upon Hearing the New Names”

In a bold and unexpected move just days before Prince William’s historic coronation, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have announced that they are officially renaming their two children, sparking a wave of controversy — and reported fury — within the royal family.

The announcement, delivered via a personal message on the Archewell Foundation website, revealed that Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana will now be known as:

Archibald Spencer and Diana Rose.

The message read:

“As our family grows and evolves, so do the stories we carry. These new names honor our children’s individuality, and pay tribute to the parts of our heritage that matter most to us. We are proud to reintroduce them to the world as Archibald Spencer and Diana Rose.”

The name “Spencer” pays homage to Princess Diana’s family line, while “Diana Rose” not only reinforces Meghan and Harry’s admiration for Harry’s late mother but also symbolically removes “Lilibet” — Queen Elizabeth’s cherished childhood nickname, which many see as a deeply personal royal legacy.

Sources close to the Palace say the decision was met with “shock and deep disappointment” by senior royals, particularly King Charles and Queen Camilla, who were reportedly not informed in advance.

One senior courtier told the press:

“It’s incredibly disrespectful to strip away the Queen’s memory from the next generation just as the family prepares to crown her son’s heir. The timing could not be more pointed.”

Prince William, set to be crowned in less than a week, is said to be “stunned” but has refused to comment publicly, reportedly choosing to focus on the coronation itself. Behind the scenes, however, insiders suggest this latest move has reignited tensions between the brothers.

Supporters of Harry and Meghan argue that the name changes are an assertion of independence and a reflection of the couple’s ongoing journey to define their family on their own terms — away from royal tradition and public expectation.

Social media has exploded with mixed reactions. While some hail the changes as empowering and deeply symbolic, others see it as a pointed slight timed to overshadow William’s big moment.

As the coronation draws closer, one thing is clear: the rift between tradition and personal freedom continues to define the next chapter of the royal saga.
