Meghan Markle Becomes Meghan Sussex: A Small Change, a Larger Conversation
At first, it sounded like a casual correction. During a light moment on a talk show, a friend used her familiar name, and she gently adjusted it. But that brief exchange quickly rippled outward, igniting discussion across social media and royal-watching circles.
Meghan Markle is no longer publicly using “Markle.” She now goes by Meghan Sussex, aligning her name with her husband, Prince Harry, and their children, Archie and Lilibet.
The moment surfaced during her Netflix lifestyle series With Love, Meghan, which has drawn attention not only for its content but for reopening conversations about identity, titles, and personal reinvention. In one episode, Meghan gently corrected her friend Mindy Kaling after being addressed by her maiden name.
