How Meghan Markle’s Leaked Steel-Proof Birth Certificate Made the Palace Red-Faced

Fans of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were left amazed by the details that were revealed on Archie Mountbatten Windsor's birth certificate after he was born.

The official paperwork, which was issued to now two-year-old Archie at birth, revealed information about where and when he was born, as well as telling facts about the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry.

Meghan's job description listed her as Princess of the United Kingdom at the time, which was confusing to royal fans as the Queen had given her the title of Duchess.

But royal protocol stated that Meghan was technically a princess.

Through her marriage to Prince Harry, she is Her Royal Highness Princess Henry of Wales.

Fans were left confused when they saw Rachel listed on the document, unaware that this is her birth given name.

Her parent Storia Ragland and estranged father Thomas Markle called her Meghan since birth and allegedly all of her friends call her Meghan too.

In an odd coincidence, Rachel is the name of the character she played in the popular TV series Suits.

Prince Harry, Archie's dad, is listed as Henry on the certificate, his real name.

Meghan and Harry managed to keep the location of his birth secret to the public all the way up to the release of the certificate.

It was revealed to fans upon Archie's birth that he was born at the private Portland Hospital in Westminster.

The lavish hospital in London costs around £20,000 and features luxury options for mothers-to-be, including lobster and champagne meals.

At the time, fans didn't know if Meghan had either given birth in LA, or in the UK.

The Queen might have 12 young great-grandchildren, but it seems that at Christmas she is eager to get them all the perfect gift.

Prince Harry once revealed the Christmas present she bought his two-year-old son Archie last year, and it was just what he wanted.

But the unusual gift, which the Queen ordered and had sent to the Sussexes' home in LA after it was suggested by Meghan Markle, left TV host James Corden completely baffled when Harry revealed what it was during an interview for The Late Late Show earlier this year.

As the duo took an open-top bus tour of the city, James asked Harry about fatherhood, his new life in America and quitting the royal family.

Speaking about the Queen's gift, he said, “My grandmother asked us what Archie wanted for Christmas, and Meg said a waffle maker.

So she sent us a waffle maker for Archie, so breakfast now Meg makes up a beautiful organic mix, in the waffle maker, flip it, out it comes.

He loves it.

And now I have waffles for breakfast, bit of yogurt, bit of jam on top.

I don't know if that's the right thing to do.

Berries, bit of honey.”

Archie wakes up in the morning and literally just goes waffle.

This year, Harry and Meghan will be spending their first Christmas as a family of four after they welcomed daughter Lilibet in June.

And as well as likely receiving gifts from the Queen, one royal expert says Archie and Lilibet can also expect presents from their aunt and uncle Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge.

Archie and Lilibet are likely to spend the festive season in California with their parents while William and Kate will be at Sandringham with their children George, Charlotte, and Louis.

In recent months, much has been made of the rift between brothers William and Harry and in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in March, Harry claimed William was trapped within the royal system, which is said to have left William furious.

Meghan Markle fans were once left confused by some of the information on her son, Archie Mountbatten Windsor's birth certificate.

All birth certificates are available to the general public, which meant that lucky fans not only got to see the special document, but also found out Meghan's real name.

They also discovered Meghan's official job title and the secret place where Archie was born.

Through her marriage to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle became one of the most famous women in the world.

Her marriage to Prince Harry was watched by millions, and her every move was scrutinized by the media.
