Meghan Markle Highlights Sussex Name's Significance on Netflix Show

In her new Netflix series 'With Love, Meghan,' Meghan Markle emphasizes the significance of her surname, which she insists is 'Sussex,' despite having left the royal family in 2020. During an episode featuring Mindy Kaling, Meghan humorously corrects Kaling for calling her 'Meghan Markle,' stating, 'You know I’m Sussex now,' and expresses how meaningful it is to share this name with her children, Archie and Lilibet. She reflects on the importance of the Sussex name as part of their family identity, saying, 'It just means so much to go, this is our family name.' However, this assertion has drawn mixed reactions, with some royal observers and fans questioning her right to claim 'Sussex' as her surname given her limited ties to the county. Royal author Phil Dampier suggests that her remarks may not sit well with King Charles, who is reportedly reluctant to strip her titles. Despite the controversy, Meghan remains proud of her identity as the Duchess of Sussex.
