âYou know Iâm Sussex nowâ: Meghan Markle reveals the personal importance of her royal surname in With Love, Meghan
In an episode of her newly released Netflix series, Meghan Markle opened up about how the Sussex title is part of her â??love storyâ?? with Prince Harry and a touching symbol of the bond she shares with her young family
Meghan Markle has revealed her personal connection to the Sussex surname in an episode of her new Netflix series With Love, Meghan
JAKE ROSENBERG/NETFLIXA rose by any other name? Not for Meghan Markle, who has revealed on her new Netflix lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, that she prefers to use the surname Sussex in her day-to-day life. Bestowed upon her by Queen Elizabeth II, Meghan took the Sussex title on the day she married Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, in 2018, but has said she didn’t realise how important the name would be to her until she began raising her family.
The Duchess opens up about her relationship to the royal title in an episode of her newly released show, which sees her cooking alongside close friend Mindy Kaling. When the comedian and actress referred to Meghan as ‘Meghan Markle’, the royal politely corrected her: ‘It’s so funny that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m Sussex now.’
Explaining why the change was so deeply personal, Meghan spoke of the connection that it symbolises between herself, Prince Harry, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. ‘You have kids, and you go: “No, I share my name with my children,”’ the Duchess told her friend. ‘I didn’t know how meaningful it would be, but it just means so much to go: “This is our family name, our little family name.”’

COURTESY OF NETFLIXClearly, this is an important point for the Duchess of Sussex, who also brought it up in a rare personal interview ahead of the release of With Love, Meghan on 4 March. ‘I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H and I all have together,’ she told People Magazine, ‘it means a lot to me.’
Meghan continued, revealing that Archie and Lilibet are beginning to wonder how their parents met. While the Duchess told the outlet that the story of her relationship with Prince Harry will come ‘with time’ as her children get older, their surname is a touching part of the royal couple’s ‘love story’.
‘I think as the kids get older, they’re so excited about, “Oh my gosh, Mama and Papa, how did you meet?”’ Meghan detailed. ‘I think that will come with time as they get older, but for right now, a huge part of our love story is that we share the name Sussex.’
The use of a royal title as a surname is a time-honoured tradition for the Firm, offering a sense of normality as young royals mix with their peers at school. Prince Harry went by ‘Harry Wales’ growing up at Eton, taking King Charles’s former ‘Prince of Wales’ title. Prince William, too, was referred to as ‘William Wales’ at university in St Andrews and while serving in the RAF.

COURTESY OF NETFLIXPrince William’s children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – enrolled at school under the surname ‘Cambridge’ while their father held the Duke of Cambridge title, and since his inheritance of the Prince of Wales title, use ‘Wales’ as their family name.
Initially, Prince Harry and Meghan’s children were known as ‘Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor’ and ‘Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor’. This was due to a ruling made long before their birth. On 8 February 1960, Queen Elizabeth II decreed that her descendants should bear a surname that references both the House of Windsor and the name of her husband, Prince Philip, who replaced his ‘Prince of Greece and Denmark’ title with the surname ‘Mountbatten’ after he became a naturalised British citizen in 1947. Thus, ‘Mountbatten-Windsor’.
In a statement released at the same time as the Queen’s declaration, Buckingham Palace revealed that the decision was very close to the Queen’s heart. It read: ‘The Queen has always wanted, without changing the name of the Royal House established by her grandfather, to associate the name of her husband with her own and his descendants. The Queen has had this in mind for a long time, and it is close to her heart.’
James, the Earl of Wessex and Lady Louise Windsor (the children of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh) both use the surname Mountbatten-Windsor
Mark Cuthbert/Getty ImagesThe Mountbatten-Windsor name was first used on 14 November 1973, on the Westminster Abbey marriage register that marked the nuptials of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips. It is currently used by the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh's children, Lady Louise Windsor and James, the Earl of Wessex.
The ruling did not apply to those descendants of the queen who were styled HRH or bore the title of prince or princess. Hence, when King Charles aceeded to the throne, and Archie and Lilibet were bestowed with prince and princess titles, their surname was changed to Sussex.
The alternation was made by Prince Harry and Meghan in March 2023. Announcing Lilibet’s christening, the family also revealed that the young royals were now named ‘Prince Archie of Sussex’ and ‘Princess Lilibet of Sussex’ on the royal family’s official website.
The comedian, 50, wrote "no but yeah but" - a phrase used by delinquent teenager Vicky Pollard in Little Britain - on an X post of pictures of the Stranger Things star.
