Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie will no longer be known as Mountbatten-Windsors
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have ditched their kids' double-barrelled surnames as they break with a 64-year-old royal tradition.
The surname Mountbatten-Windsor was decreed by the Privy Counsel - the official advisors to the late Queen Elizabeth II - in 1960 and applied to male-line descendants of Her Majesty and Prince Philip. A source told The Times: "The reality behind the new site is very simple - it's a hub for the work the Sussexes do and it reflects the fact the family have, since the King's coronation, the same surname for the first time. That's a big deal for any family.
Meanwhile the decision to use their children's royal titles on their new website has been branded as "surprising". It has divided fans and sparked a royal row accusing them of boasting of their links to the Royal Family.
