“Meghan” is placed as her middle name and “Markle” as her last name.
However, Harry has chosen to keep his royal title.
He chose “The Duke of Sussex” as his first name, while “His Royal Highness” is his last.
Meanwhile, it comes months after Meghan and Harry were told they could no longer use their titles.
At the time, Buckingham Palace announced: “The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family.”
The couple previously announced they were stepping down as senior royals in March 2020.
What is the meaning behind Lilibet’s name?
Furthermore, there has been constant speculation over baby Lili’s name.
The pair said the name was a tribute to the Queen – whose family nickname is Lilibet – and Harry’s late mother Princess Diana.
However, it appears the name is also a sweet nod to the late Prince Phillip.
Stewart Pearce told the Daily Mail: “Harry adored his grandfather, who became a particular line of security for the young prince post Diana’s death.
“There is no doubt that the influence Prince Philip had over his grandson will live on in the heart of Harry, in the sense of the complete allegiance Prince Philip’s life created in alliance with the Queen, after the sudden death of her father the King, and her own accession to the throne.”

In other royal news, Harry is set to attend the unveiling of his mother’s statue at Kensington Palace on July 1.
The ceremony marks what would have been Diana’s 60th birthday.
