SAY MY NAME: Meghan 'Sussex'

ALLOW me to reintroduce myself: It’s not Meghan Markle, it’s Meghan Sussex.
The former actress has doubled down on the keeping-her-title controversy despite she and husband Prince Harry distancing themselves from the British royal family.
Meghan made the revelation on her new Netflix show With Love, Meghan.
Speaking on her to guest Mindy Kaling in the second episode of the show, she said it was funny to her that people still referred to her by her maiden surname after she tied the knot in 2018.
She says: “You know I’m Sussex now.
“You have kids and you go, 'No, I share my name with my children.' I didn’t know how meaningful it would be to me, but it just means so much to say, ‘This is our family name. Our little family name’.”
Dis nogal oulik. While the legal surname for a member of the British royal household is Mountbatten-Windsor, it’s perfectly fine to use their title name of Sussex.
But as always with Meghan, mense come out trolling the 43-year-old mother of two.
One X user wrote: “It's not your LAST NAME #meghanmarkle. It's a Royal Title that belongs to the British Monarchy. She reduces a royal title to 'her' last name. Can't wait for
@KensingtonRoyal King William to remove the 'last name'.”
Another came riding to her defence, though, writing: “Well, they adopted it as their name just like the Cambridges became the Wales’ - anything Prince William and Catherine could do she could do better."
