Meghan Markle ignites controversy by claiming ‘Sussex’ as her surname
Meghan Markle’s recent comments about her last name have ignited an online debate over royal naming conventions.
The Duchess of Sussex playfully corrected actress Mindy Kaling during an episode of her new Netflix series With Love, Meghan, which premiered on March 4, after Kaling repeatedly referred to her by her maiden name.
Meghan’s response, asserting “Sussex” as her last name, led to widespread discussion and confusion regarding the surnames of British royals.
The royal family traditionally does not use last names in the same way as commoners, prompting immediate backlash from royal watchers.
Many argued that Meghan’s statement misunderstood royal customs, while others supported her decision.
The debate highlights the ongoing public scrutiny surrounding Meghan and Prince Harry’s decisions post-Megxit.
