The Duke and Duchess of Sussex contemplated adopting the family name Spencer in response to frustrating delays in securing UK passports for their children. This suggestion arose during a meeting with Prince Harry's uncle, Earl Spencer, who supported the idea. The family's ongoing tensions with the royal family were evident, particularly as the passport applications featured HRH titles. Although this renaming could have exacerbated family rifts, it became unnecessary when the passports were eventually issued after significant delays, highlighting the challenges faced by the Sussexes in navigating British official protocols.
The suggestion to change their family name to Spencer highlighted their frustrations with the UK passport delays for their children, which had persisted for almost six months.
Although Prince Harry's suggested name change could deepen the family's rift, it emphasizes the ongoing tension with British officials over passport issues.
