Prince Harry has dropped his royal surname after leaving Britain for California with wife Meghan Markle.

The Duke of Sussex, 35, is listed as Prince Henry Charles Albert David, Duke of Sussex in documents registering new eco-friendly tourism firm Travalyst, which will feature a grading system for users to track their carbon emissions.

He appears to have ditched both his HRH title and the royal family name Mountbatten-Windsor.

It comes after the royal launched the firm in Edinburgh during one of his final round of engagements as a senior working royal - and asked delegates 'just to call him Harry'.

Hmmm...could it be he's not really a "Mountbatten-Windsor" after all, and that's why he's so determined to "divorce" the Royal Family"?

Dropping the last name is just another step towards him being a 'normal' citizen I guess.

They change their name at the drop of a hat anyway.

If they kept to the same rules as we lesser folk, his name would be the same as Prince Philip's and handed down through Charles.

Philip's real surname? Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg

Most normal citizens have a last name...

Exactly. But if you want to hide your heritage, as in your example of Prince Philip's German heritage, you change it.

Can't have the British Royalty showing any German heritage, you know. Bad form!

So I still wonder about Harry's heritage, as the rest of the world may do, or not care either way.

Those in the inner circles may know but won't reveal...

What are you alluding to?

That Harry is not Charles' son?

That rumour's been done to death.

Yes it has. But it persists.

Jesus didn't. And I would like to think he was normal, except for the divinity.
