Meghan Markle provoked outrage following a frightening new story published ahead of Princess Lilibet's fourth birthday.
For those who are unaware, there have been rumors that Prince Harry has contacted his uncle, Earl Charles Spencer, to "seek advice" about removing the Mountbatten-Windsor surname in honor of his late mother, Spencer.
However, stories suggest that Earl reminded the Duke of Sussex of the serious ramifications of his choice, which would also change the surnames of the Sussexes' children, Archie and Lilibet.
In light of the continuous rumours, royal experts believe Meghan may have used the surname change method to grow her company or prepare her daughter to be the next Diana.
In an interview with GB, royal analyst Charlotte Griffiths stated, "The entire situation is a bit weird. It might have to do with marketing, as they are not permitted to sell the royal name."
"They tried to set up a website called Sussex Royal and they were told no way, you can't be putting royal names on jams, so I just wonder whether they were trying to angle for a Spencer brand or something," she told me.
Later, Charlotte recalled royal biographer Tom Bower's notion that Meghan "wanted to be closer to Diana" with the possible name change.
The royal commentator stated, "Mountbatten-Windsor is Archie and Lilibet's surname." Lilibet's full name is Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor; if her surname was Spencer, it would be Lilibet Diana Spencer."
The name change debate sparked speculation that Meghan "wanted her daughter to be sort of known as Diana Spencer, the new Princess of Wales."
In response, the show's presenter described the Duchess of Sussex's apparent decision for Lilibet as "chilling."
