Meghan Markle gave royal watchers something to pause over on Sunday when she credited her husband, Prince Harry, as 'Papa Sussex' in a tender Instagram post for International Women's Day, appearing to be the first time the Duke of Sussex has been publicly referred to by the affectionate two-word nickname.
The post, shared on March 8, 2026, featured a photograph of the Duchess of Sussex, 44, kissing and cuddling their four-year-old daughter, Princess Lilibet, as the pair sat on rocks with the sea stretching out before them. 'For the woman she will one day be... Happy International Women's Day,' Meghan wrote in the caption, with a simple photography credit that followed underneath reading 'Papa Sussex.'
