HARRY'S BRATTY BIDI TO CHANGE HIS NAME!

Scheme is royal slap in face to William

Prince Harry wanted to take his late mom's maiden name, Spencer, sources say

HUFFY Prince Harry reportedly considered taking his late mother Princess Diana's maiden name, Spencer, for himself, wife Meghan and their children amid the couple's ongoing rift with his royal relatives — but the shocking bid blew up in the entitled duke's face, courtiers confide.

During a visit to his native U.K., Harry, 40, spoke with his uncle Charles Spencer — Diana's younger brother — about changing his immediate family's surname, but the earl dissuaded his nephew from following through by citing insurmountable legal hurdles, sources say.

But a source denies that Spencer had talked his nephew out of the name change, or that it would not be something he could accomplish legally, adding that the idea came from repeated delays by British officials to issue passports to their kids — which were ultimately granted.

Mountbatten-Windsor is the British royal family's official surname, which can be used by descendants of the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, and sources say that's the handle that appeared on the birth certificates of Harry and Meghan's kids — Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.

Prince William is said to see Harry's move as a ploy to trade on their mother's memory
