Royal Family
due to rules king
George V set in 1917.
If it is a boy, it could
use the title of ‘Earl
of Dumbarton’ and if
it is a girl, the title
would be, ‘Lady
Mountbatten-Windsor
which is the royal
family’s last name.
The baby will possibly
use the last name,
Sussex. This rule
could be changed by
the queen. However,
the couple have ex-
pressed their hope of
their child having a
relatively normal life.
The child will be sev-
enth in line to the
throne :
1. Prince Charles
2. Prince William
3. Prince George
4. Princess Charlotte
5. Prince Louis
6. Prince Harry
7. New Royal Baby
8. Prince Andrew
9. Princess Beatrice
10. Princess Eugenie
The baby might also
hold both American
and British citizen-
ships as the citizen-
ship can be gained
from blood links
from two genera-
tions. Dual nationali-
ty is allowed in both
countries. This
means that the baby
will be the first British
-American
baby born in the royal fam-
ily. Ebony– Renee Baker,
wrote on the digital maga-
zine ‘flare’- ‘As a mixed
race woman myself—I’m
half Jamaican and half
Filipino—I’ve followed
Meghan’s trajectory
with a curious eye.’ The
journalist also expressed
that she was excited
nervous. Saying— ‘Excited, because
seeing Black women fill spaces
historically filled only by white
women reminds me that things
are shifting.’ and ’nerve-
wracking to see how closely
British media and, tbh, the gen-
eral public are watching Me-
ghan .’
Will this be the same for her baby?
