Exactly; the question was what the equivalent was for Meghan compared to the name Harry used on a legal document.I think Denville's argument is that as a married peeress she should not use her given name(s) at all. But in legal documents, it is correct form for peers and peeresses (no matter if they are royal or non-royal) to include their given names or even their surnames. As Somebody posted, the birth certificates for the children of the Duke of Cambridge (and for Archie Mountbatten-Windsor) showed the given names (e.g. William Arthur Philip Louis) of both parents, though not their surnames.
While the princes by blood will use "HRH Prince William/Henry (+ all given names), Duke of Cambridge/Sussex" (or in Harry's case, since he isn't supposed to use the HRH in business, he will drop that part);
the princesses by marriage will use "HRH Catherine Elizabeth/Rachel Meghan, the Duchess of Cambridge/Sussex" (or in Meghan's case, since she isn't supposed to use the HRH in business, she will drop that part).
