Prince Harry wanted to change his last name to Princess Diana’s, it is revealed.
Harry, who goes with the last name Windsor-Mountbatten, wanted to adopt his mother’s maiden name ‘Spencer,’ amid estrangement from the Royal Family.
In a report by the Mail, it is spilled that the Duke of Sussex requested his maternal uncle, Charles Spencer, to help with the change.
A friend of Harry's told the Mail: "They had a very amicable conversation and Spencer advised him against taking such a step."
This comes days after Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle shut down friend Mindy Kaling on ‘With Love, Meghan,’ after she was called by her last name on the show.
In an episode on With Love, Meghan, the Duchess said: "It's so funny you keep saying 'Meghank Mk Markle' – you know I'm Sussex now.
"You have kids and you go, 'No, I share my name with my children'.
"I didn't know how meaningful it would be to me but it just means so much to go 'This is OUR family name. Our little family name.' " Meghan interjected.
