Meghan Markle adopts 'Sussex' surname, sparks royal tensions

Meghan Markle is navigating family dynamics as she balances her new show, 'With Love, Meghan,' with her husband Prince Harry's desire to keep their children, Archie and Lilibet, out of the public eye. Although Meghan expressed a wish to feature her kids, she has agreed to respect Harry's concerns and will only show them in a limited capacity. Additionally, Meghan has reportedly adopted 'Sussex' as her surname, leading to confusion and criticism from royal experts and her father, Thomas Markle, who expressed disappointment over her decision to distance herself from her maiden name. Experts speculate that this change may signal her intent to legally alter her name if needed, amid tensions with King Charles regarding their royal titles. The ongoing public interest in Meghan's identity and her familial relationships continues to generate discussion about her role within the royal family and her personal brand. As she develops her lifestyle brand, 'As Ever,' the implications of her name change and family ties remain a focal point in her narrative.
