A royal commentator has taken aim at Meghan Markle after the Duchess of Sussex was once again presented by her full title during a high-profile magazine interview.

Meghan and Prince Harry stepped back from official royal duties in 2020, stating that they had faced bullying within the institution. Even so, the couple retained their titles. The only real change was that Meghan would be styled as “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex” rather than “the Duchess of Sussex.” The pair also agreed that they would not use their titles for commercial purposes.

Last year, Meghan surprised some followers when she revealed that “Sussex” is her legal surname, a name given to her by Queen Elizabeth II on her wedding day in 2018. Archie and Lilibet share the same last name.

Earlier this week, Meghan reportedly made clear that she still prefers to be addressed formally in semi-official settings. The conversation emerged after she sat for a fashion interview with Harper’s Bazaar, chosen as the cover star for the magazine’s December 2025 and January 2026 issue.
