EDIT: My replies to this point are to counter the erroneous suggestion that Lilibet is *only* "Miss Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor" outside of the United States and His Majesty's realms. In that regard it doesn't matter what the American documents say.

The exact text is there. Again, I never said anything about the United States granting titles.
Lilibet’s birth certificate, by the way (a state document) lists her father as ‘His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex’.
As an American citizen born in the United States, a foreign title will not, of course, appear on an American birth certificate as applied to that individual. American governing/vital documents can inform how other countries might use an individual’s name but they do not restrict it as such. One can have different names in different jurisdictions or even vital documents with different names in the same jurisdiction.
The Duchess of Sussex, for instance, is an American citizen with a passport bearing the name Rachel Meghan Markle but is still the Duchess of Sussex outside of the United States and His Majesty’s realms (and has been recognized as such).
