Meghan’s Views on Her Sussex Title

This news comes as Meghan recently expressed the importance of her title while filming her Netflix series.

Speaking with actress Mindy Kaling, Meghan, 43, remarked: “It’s so funny you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m ‘Sussex’ now,” before elaborating on its significance.

“I didn’t know how meaningful it would be to me, but it just means so much to go, ‘This is our family name. Our little family name,’” she said.

Meghan previously told People that her title became even more important after becoming a mother. “It’s our shared name as a family, and I guess I hadn’t recognized how meaningful that would be to me until we had children,” she explained.

However, her insistence on using “Sussex” as a surname has sparked criticism.

One person pointed out: “Her name is NOT Meghan Sussex. Her name is technically Rachel Mountbatten-Windsor. Sussex is a county in England & part of a courtesy title – NOT her last name.”

Another added: “Meghan Markle married Henry Mountbatten-Windsor, not Harry Sussex! She’s a delusional woman.”

Born as Rachel Meghan Markle, the Duchess’s choice to adopt Sussex as a family name continues to stir debate among royal watchers.
