It's 'Meg' not Meghan, Duchess of Sussex tells reporters in Australia
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has clarified her name yet again.
She wants to be called Meg, according to media reports from Australia , where she and Prince Harry have been on a four-day visit.
Throughout the first day, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were asked how they should be addressed.
Meghan said she should just be called “Meg.”
According to The Telegraph , the couple visited Melbourne on April 14. When asked how they preferred to be addressed, Harry shrugged his shoulders and replied, “However you like.”
Meghan suggested, “Call me Meg.”
The shift comes just over a year after Sussex announced she didn’t want to be known as Meghan Markle anymore. She made it clear during an episode of her cooking and lifestyle show on Netflix, then again in interviews with Drew Barrymore and People magazine.
Prince Harry and Meghan received the titles the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from Queen Elizabeth II when they were wed back in 2018.
After the wedding, Markle’s maiden name was often used to identify her in the media, similar to Catherine, Princess of Wales, who was previously known as the Duchess of Cambridge, and often referred to as Kate Middleton.
Prince Harry and Meghan were allowed to keep their titles when they stepped down as royals in 2020. They are no longer addressed as his or her royal highness (HRH). They were told to stop developing their “SussexRoyal” brand and cease in marketing themselves as such, or otherwise profit from their titles.
Still, there is no impediment to using their titles as a last name, as other royals do.
Now, it appears the Duchess wishes to be called Meg Sussex.
