A royal historian has come up with a solution for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to avoid criticism for continuing to use their titles, which were given to them following their wedding in 2018. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped down as senior royals and dropped their HRH titles in early 2020, and have since faced pressure to stop referring to themselves as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Instead of fully removing all trace of the Sussexes, Marlene Koenig, an internationally recognised expert on British and European royalty, has suggested an alternative moniker which may appeal to all parties, reports the Daily Express. Speaking to the publication, Marlene suggested that Meghan and Harry could just use 'Sussex' after their names.
The expert explained: "If you look at other members of the family or peers or heir to peerages; Beatrice and Eugenie do not use their titles in their jobs. On their work websites it's Beatrice York, Eugenie York.
