A royal historian has said that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry should use an alternative title to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The couple, who were spotted on a rare outing this week, could be known as plain Harry Sussex and Meghan Sussex, said Marlene Koenig, a royal historian. Much has already been said about their children, Archie and Lilibet, and their entitlement to royal titles. Now the question is being asked about Meghan and Harry. They have already dropped the use of their HRH titles upon stepping down as senior royals but they still use the names Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Meghan used the royal title – but not the HRH – for her children’s book, The Bench. At the time of publication debate was rife over whether she was right to use Duchess, with Ms Koenig suggesting she and Harry should use a different moniker.
