But if all this is true, why would she want to remain a titled member of the Royal Family and style herself as the Duchess of Sussex? I think it just didnt work out the way she wanted and she left, which is fine. |
Agree that Meghan has been a convenient distraction for whatever else has been going on in that family since Andrew's infamous interview where he denied knowing Virginia. Whatever you think about Meghan, love her or hate her, those days should be over. Which is why it's so strange that William's side keeps briefing that he'll be king soon, and then he'll take the brave step of ... stripping titles from the Sussex family and the York sisters, which seems like a big nothing-burger. Why? |
She styles herself as Meghan Sussex. One of the more well-known (infamous?) moments on her show was when she told someone to call her Meghan Sussex instead of Meghan Markle, because she said, her entire family used Sussex these days. Which seems fair. She also wasn't telling anyone to call her the Duchess of Sussex. |
She uses the Duchess of Sussex in the credits of her show. That's how she wants to be credited. She is also introduced by that name. She only said Meghan Sussex bc her friend Mindy was recounting a story about her and she said "Meghan Markle." That's how that came up. Meghan said, "No it's Meagan Sussex and you know that." |
She did not add "and you know that." Where do you haters come up with this stuff.... |

For a little fun, you can watch the ongoing briefing wars between Charles/Camilla and William's teams.
William's folks are always briefing, through his mouthpieces like Tom Sykes, that Charles will be dead within the year and William is actually the power behind the throne. This despite William being on vacation both times Charles dealt with Andrew, last fall and when Andrew got arrested the other week, but whatever. And Charles/Camilla counter that Charles is so much better that he's cut way back on treatment. Not dying anytime soon, y'all! They also counter with stuff like this, about William being horrible and arrogant: https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/royals/horrible-arrogant-shock-claim-about-royal/news-story/10b715c039d218b5493b718601180874. Well, that first appeared in a British paper the other week, before being reprinted by this curent outlet, but I don't have the time or inclination to dig it out. Fun times. Looks like Charles has issues with both his sons! |
Proof that their inbreeding has rendered them mentally deficient. Normal families composed of genetically healthy individuals don't do this. |
A lot of reality shows are filmed that way. I’m sure there’s plenty left given the Andrew situation. |
DP. Sometimes people fall in love and the family is part of the package. Like my dh’s grandfather was an abusive POS but my MIL still took his last name. That said….i would never have married into this family. |
I misremembered- here is the exact quote. I don't think it's substantively different from what I wrote above. Please share if this changes your mind, it sounds like you didn't think it was the greatest thing to say on tv either: Meghan said, “It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m Sussex now.” |
I actually think the press just makes stuff up sometimes- about both sons. William usually ignores it, but Harry and Meagan have made it their mission to take the press to task. Harry was just overseas testifying against one of the papers recently. I don't really believe all these articles. |
DP. Oh I had forgotten about that scene! Meghan seemed super annoyed and Mindy seemed clueless. I don’t know why Netflix didn’t cut it, it was so awkward! |
William doesn't ignore completely ignore it, although he does a better job of ignoring than Harry and Meghan do. Last week there was an article about Kate visiting a Hindu temple where she took off her shoes and exposed, gasp, bunions and toenail fungus. Those articles were taken down after a day. Yes, Harry and Meghan are currently suing the Mail for tapping their phones several years ago. The weird thing about the "feuding" articles is that certain "journalists" predictably take the same sides. Becky English speaks for Charles, Tom Sykes speaks for William, and so on. Amanda Platell, Liz Jones, and AN Wilson have apparently been given permission to completely trash the Waleses recently, which is very surprising. Who knows. Agree that half of it is lies, either planted by one of the palaces, or completely made up by bored "journalists" who need to file something, anything, by the deadline. |
I agree it was a totally awkward exchange. But it is substantively different, because your take made her look extra mean. Awkward as this exchange was, it seems fair. Meghan seemed to want to get the message out that she's done being called by her father's name bc she's married. "Meghan Sussex" seems fair because the Waleses children, and William and Harry when they were young, use(d) "Waleses" as their surname at school, for sporting events, et cetera. As Meghan also pointed out during this same exchange that her kids use Sussex as their surname at school. And she didn't say "call me Duchess Meghan," nor has she used "HRH" recently, so there's that. Kate's stans famously object to her still being called "Kate Middleton," and this doesn't seem very different. |
It's bizarre because who has to correct a 'friend" that way. She's a faker with phony friends. Otherwise why be like "Akshually..." |
