One Major Detail On Archie’s Birth Certificate Was Changed – And It’s Causing A Royal Stir

Whether you love or loathe Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, you probably know more than you think about them. After the fall-out from that Oprah interview, they’re pretty much inescapable! But as the media scrambles to get the latest on the war between the Sussexes and the rest of the royals, one important thing has been forgotten. There’s been a sly change to Archie’s birth certificate – and it’s kind of a biggie.

A royal ruckus

For a little while, that switcheroo flew under the radar. Soon enough, though, the tabloid press picked up on the detail and went wild with speculation as to what it all meant. Hard to believe that a single piece of paper could cause this much of a ruckus, but it really did!

Rumors denied

The gossip seemed to annoy Meghan’s camp, though. In a statement to Harper’s Bazaar magazine, a spokesman for the duchess claimed that the rumors about the birth certificate “would be laughable were [they] not offensive.” Rather dismissively, they added, “There’s a lot going on in the world. Let’s focus on that instead of creating clickbait.” Ouch.

Subtle change

Perhaps the most surprising aspect of the story? The change on Archie’s birth certificate was so subtle that, at first glance, it’s remarkable anyone noticed it in the first place. But while Meghan’s press team warned against paying the swap too much attention, it did raise eyebrows for a reason.

Under the radar

Why have you not heard about this? Possibly because the Oprah interview has since blasted the speculation off the front pages. And then there was another happy piece of news that got everyone focusing elsewhere. On Valentine’s Day 2021, Meghan and Harry announced that they were expecting their second child. Hopefully, that little one’s birth certificate will be printed without a hitch so that the public and press don’t have to question it at all.
