Alright, let's get into the royal baby buzz! When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcome their little one next month, this baby is set to make waves in more ways than one. The world is already captivated by all-things-Baby Sussex, and one burning question on everyone's mind is: what will the baby's last name be? Or, for that matter, will this royal bundle even need a last name as part of the British royal family?
Why Baby Sussex Needs a Last Name
Here's the deal: according to the official royal family website, this little Sussex will likely need a last name. Why? Because the child won’t carry the title “His/Her Royal Highness.” Now, that’s a game-changer, isn’t it? Let me break it down for you. Members of the royal family can be known by both the name of the royal house and their surname—but here’s the twist, they don’t always use the same name. In fact, they often don’t use a surname at all until it’s necessary, like when they start school.
Following in Daddy Harry's Footsteps
Just like Prince Harry, who started school under the last name "Wales," we can expect this little one to follow the same path. Once Baby Sussex starts attending school, they’ll need a surname to fit in like any other kid. But what will that last name be? Let’s dive deeper into the royal naming traditions to figure it out.

Let’s rewind a bit. When Prince Harry and his brother Prince William were kids, their parents—Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana—enrolled them in school under the last name "Wales." Why "Wales," you ask? Because their dad, Prince Charles, is the Prince of Wales. So, it only makes sense that Harry and William used "Wales" as their last names in school. And guess what? We can expect Baby Sussex to do the same!
What About the Cambridge Kids?
Now, let’s take a look at Prince William’s side of the family. When William and Kate Middleton enrolled their kids—Prince George and Princess Charlotte—in school, they went by the last name "Cambridge." Why? Because William and Kate are the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. And when Prince Louis starts school, you can bet he’ll be called "Louis Cambridge" by his teachers and classmates. It’s all about following the family tradition, right?
Here’s something interesting: back in 1917, King George V officially gave the royal family the last name "Windsor." But Queen Elizabeth II changed that to "Mountbatten-Windsor" when she started her reign in 1952. She wanted to honor her husband, Prince Philip, by incorporating his surname. See, even the royals like to keep things personal and meaningful, don’t they?
So there you have it! Baby Sussex will most likely be known as "Sussex" in school, just like Daddy Harry was "Wales." It’s all about keeping those family traditions alive, even when you’re part of the most famous family in the world. Now, let’s wait and see what this little royal cutie will be called!
