Archie Lilibet Names Not Trademarked By Harry Meghan

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have not trademarked the names of their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, despite recent reports suggesting otherwise. The clarification comes amid growing public interest following the launch of Meghan’s lifestyle brand products.

Speculation began after a Mother’s Day collection from Meghan’s brand referenced the children’s birthdates in product descriptions, leading to claims that the couple had taken legal steps to secure their names as trademarks. However, sources have confirmed that no such trademarks have been filed for either child’s name.

The confusion arose when two candles in the collection were linked to the children’s birthdays. One product was inspired by Archie’s birthdate of May 6, while another referenced Lilibet’s birthday on June 4. Earlier promotional material had also included their royal titles, which added to the misunderstanding.

Archie and Lilibet were not born with royal titles but became entitled to them in 2022 when their grandfather, King Charles III, ascended the throne. As a result, they are now officially recognized as Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex within the royal line of succession.

Unlike the children of Prince William, who received royal titles at birth, Archie and Lilibet’s titles were granted later due to their position as grandchildren of the reigning monarch rather than children of the direct heir at the time of their birth.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have previously emphasized the personal significance of their family name and identity. Meghan has spoken about how meaningful the shared “Sussex” name is for their family, describing it as an important part of their story.

Overall, while the couple continues to expand their brand and public presence, there is no official move to trademark their children’s names. The reports appear to have stemmed from marketing references rather than any legal action.
