Meghan Markle has faced fierce criticism for making an “extraordinary” blunder regarding her Royal <\/a>title after insisting that guests on her Netflix series use her “real” surname of Sussex.<\/p>\n The Duchess, whose second series of Netflix’s With Love, Meghan<\/a>, launched on the streaming platform this week, has been adamant about her surname being Sussex rather than Markle following her marriage to Prince Harry – even going as far as correcting actress Mindy Kaling in an early episode of the programme.<\/p>\n During a fresh interview with journalist Emily Chang, Meghan confirmed that her legal name is now Meghan, Duchess of Sussex – but an experienced Royal commentator claimed the statement exposed an “extraordinary” blunder on her part and provided insight into her perspective on the Royal family<\/a>.<\/p>\n “This is extraordinary and I want to know exactly who it is that is schooling her,” CNN Royal commentator Victoria Arbiter said.<\/p>\n “Because she insists on saying that her legal name is ‘Meghan, Duchess of Sussex’, but actually, to the royal boffins out there, they’ll know that that denotes a royal divorcee,” reports the Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ms Chang highlighted the post-divorce titles of Diana, Princess of Wales and Sarah, Duchess of York as proof of the Royal family tradition.<\/p>\n “It’s extraordinary that [Meghan] is opting to go with that, because she’s not a divorcee<\/a>,” she told the Australian lifestyle network 9Honey.<\/p>\n Considering Meghan’s connection to her Royal title, Ms Chang added: “It’s kind of all she has that people are really interested in.<\/p>\n “It always comes back to the royal in-laws. It always comes back to that royal life, and it’s because that’s their biggest cash cow to milk.”<\/p>\n This follows King Charles’s second cousin Lord Ivar Mountbatten’s criticism of Meghan’s assertion that ‘Sussex’ was the surname she and Harry used for their children<\/a> – suggesting instead that the family should adopt the traditional ‘Mountbatten-Windsor’ name.<\/p>\n “It’s interesting because she’s completely incorrect,” he stated to Town and Country Magazine. “They are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but actually he’s Harry Mountbatten-Windsor and she would be Meghan Mountbatten-Windsor.”<\/p>\n Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n You’ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n All you have to do is click here if you’re on mobile<\/a>, select ‘Join Community’ and you’re in!<\/p>\n If you’re on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click ‘Join Community’.<\/p>\n We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
