Meghan Markle has revealed that she and her children use a different last name in a surprising new interview.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, shared details about her personal life as she prepares for the launch of her upcoming Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.
Meghan and Prince Harry, 40, are parents to Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.
This revelation comes years after the couple announced their decision to step back from their roles as senior members of the British royal family on January 8, 2020. They officially ceased royal duties on March 31, 2020.
Since relocating to Montecito, California, Meghan says she and her children have adopted ‘Sussex’ as their family surname.
“It’s our shared name as a family, and I guess I hadn’t recognised how meaningful that would be to me until we had children,” she told People.
“I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H and I all have together. It means a lot to me.”
She describes the Sussex name as “part of our love story.”
Her upcoming reality series, filmed in Montecito, offers a glimpse into her daily life, featuring scenes in her “kitchen, garden” where she will “host friends both old and new.”
