If Meghan truly wanted to be "authentic" and "woke" (and I am focusing on her as I think in all things "What Meghan Wants Meghan Gets" determines the direction in their lives) she would, for once, celebrate being a WOC by acknowledging her genetic heritage as a part of her children's lives through name selection. Instead, IMO, she has demonstrated once again her real aspiration, to be gained at any cost, is maximum white privilege. Usurping the very unique and personal nickname of the ultimate symbol of white privilege in the world, the Queen of England, is her "crowning" achievement as she sees it.
If "Doria" or "Jeanette," her Maternal Grandmother's name (and supposedly someone Meghan was very close to growing up) were not considered regal enough for the string of names usually given to royal babies at birth, another option could have been Doria's middle name, "Loyce."
Not only would it have honored her Grandmother Doria's heritage, it also would have fit in with the image Meghan the feminist tries to project. "Loyce," according to several Naming Dictionaries on line, is most often a girl's name of either of French or German origin and means "Renowned warrior."
But, in spite of the word salad potential for articles explaining it, celebrating it, there is not an immediate association with the $$$$ that comes with Lilibet and Diana, so white privilege prevails again.
A healthy baby is a blessing to be celebrated, may she grow up with the strength to make her own way sans the baggage that comes with her name. If she can ultimately connect with the relatives in the UK, Princess Charlotte, Mia and Lena Tindall, Isla and Savannah Phillips, Princes George and Louis, Lucas Tindall, August Brooksbank, Beatrice's baby, she may be OK. Not sure about her brother Archie.

I forgot, they don't do research and words are just salad.
