Meghan Markle has seemingly issued a subtle rebuke to those who continue referring to her as ‘Markle’ rather than by her royal title. The moment unfolded during the filming of her new Netflix lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, when she gently corrected guest Mindy Kaling.
While praising Meghan’s down-to-earth nature, Kaling remarked, “People wouldn’t believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box.” To this, Meghan quickly responded, “It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m Sussex now.” She then elaborated on why this shift in name holds deep personal significance for her.

“You have kids and you go, ‘No, I share my name with my children. I didn’t know how meaningful that would be to me, but it just means so much to go, this is our family name, our little family name.’” Meghan continued, emphasizing the emotional weight behind the change.
“I guess I hadn’t recognized how meaningful that would be to me until we had children. I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H, and I all have together. It means a lot to me.” Summing up her sentiment, she added, “A huge part of our love story is that we share the name Sussex.”
This moment was part of Meghan’s promotional interview with People magazine, coinciding with the launch of her new lifestyle and cooking show. The interview touched on a variety of topics, including brand missteps, past logo blunders, and her experiences as a mother to Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
