Tom Bower thinks Prince Harry and Meghan will use the Spencer name
Royal author, Tom Bower told GB News host, Dan Wootton that he believes Prince Harry and Meghan will soon plan to rebrand themselves and as such, change their name. He suggested that the couple will opt for Prince Harry’s late mother’s maiden name: Spencer.

What’s really interesting in the rebranding of the Sussexes, is that Meghan decided her real object in life was to be Diana.

He then goes on to add that this has always been Meghan’s goal, to become ‘the new Diana’:
That has always been her passion, that has also been Harry’s passion and Meghan went to the extent of suggesting that they should drop the name Windsor and take the surname Spencer. So she’d be Meghan Spencer - the new Diana.
What’s interesting to note, is that once again, Bower doesn’t say where he’s gotten this information that the Sussexes have ‘discussed’ this among themselves and ‘with others too’.
Prince Harry and Meghan have not made any announcement or shown any signs that they are planning on changing their last name from Windsor to Spencer.
The internet reacted to Tom Bower’s claim
Naturally, when Tom Bower’s claims reached Twitter, many royal fans were quick to jump the gun and share their thoughts on the matter.
Many users shared their disbelief and shock that Prince Harry and Meghan would try to use the Spencer name, many tweeting with the hashtag #HarryandMeghanAreAJoke.

It's disrespectful to Diana's legacy for the grifter to even compare herself to her. #HarryandMeghanAreAJoke #MeghanMarkleIsAGrifter
While another wrote that it would be tarnishing Diana’s name if Harry and Meghan opted to use it for themselves:
Spencer is a common name in US hopefully they won't tarnish Spencer name in UK like they tarnished titles what am I saying just by taking that name they would be tarnishing it. Hopefully it's just one of their many 'coulds' where nothing ever happens
