Here’s what the certificate told people that they already knew:
Baby Sussex was named Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Winsdor. He was born on May 6.
Here’s what the certificate revealed that people didn’t already know:
Meghan gave birth at Portland Hospital, unlike her sister-in-law Kate Middleton, who gave birth in the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital.
As People reports, Victoria Beckham also gave birth at Portland Hospital.
Meghan, whose birth name is Rachel, dropped her maiden name. She is known as Rachel Meghan Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Sussex.
The certificate also revealed the Duchess official occupation — Princess of the United Kingdom, like Kate.
As Dearly previously reported, Archie is Prince Harry and Meghan’s first child together. And unlike his cousins, he will not be given a title — not yet, at least.
Since his birth, Archie has reportedly met most of his close relatives including his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, his great-grandfather, Prince Phillip, his grandparents, Prince Charles and Doria Ragland, as well as his aunt and uncle, Prince William and Kate Middleton.
It’s unclear if William and Kate’s kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have met their baby cousin.
Sunday also marks a special occasion in Harry and Meghan’s marriage, their one-year anniversary of being husband and wife:
Who can forget the royal pair’s beautiful wedding on May 19, 2018, and all of the precious moments to come out of it?
One of those moments included Harry’s first words to Meghan has she met him at the altar:
