Meghan, Duchess of Sussex prefers not to use her maiden name<\/p>\n

The 43-year-old former actress – who is married to Prince Harry and stepped back from royal duties in 2020 to move to LA – was joined by ‘The Office’ star Mindy Kaling on the set of her new reality show, where she reprimanded her friend for using her previous name of Meghan Markle<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Speaking in an episode ‘With Love, Meghan’ – which was released on Tuesday (04.03.25) – during a discussion about fast food, Mindy said: “I don’t think anyone in the world knows that Meghan Markle<\/a> has eaten Jack in the Box.”<\/p>\n

Meghan replied: “It’s so funny that you keep saying Meghan Markle<\/a>, you know it’s Sussex now!” <\/p>\n

The former ‘Suits’ star has Prince Archie, five, and three-year-old Princess Lilibet with the Duke of Sussex and explained that it is so “meaningful” to her that she shares a surname with her children. <\/p>\n

\nShe said: “When you have kids, and you share your name with your children, I didn’t know how meaningful it would be to me but it means so much to go ‘This is our family name, our little family name.”<\/p>\n

\nMindy replied: “Well, I love it…:”<\/p>\n

\nMeghan – who opted to drop her birth name of Rachel before fame and go her middle name instead – was given the royal title by the late Queen Elizabeth on her wedding day but hadn’t realised at the time just what the moniker would mean to her. <\/p>\n

\nShe told People: “It\u2019s our shared name as a family, and I guess I hadn\u2019t recognised how meaningful that would be to me until we had children.<\/p>\n

\n“I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H and I all have together. It means a lot to me. It’s a part of our love story.”<\/p>\n
