Meghan Markle says she has changed her famous last name! – Story Of The Day!

Meghan Markle has sparked a fresh wave of headlines with a simple correction: she says her last name is no longer “Markle.” In casual settings and on camera, the Duchess of Sussex has been using “Sussex” as her family name—matching Prince Harry and their children, Archie and Lilibet—and the choice has reopened the familiar argument about royal titles, surnames, and what’s tradition versus what’s branding.

The moment that set off the latest round of debate happened on Meghan’s new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. While speaking with Mindy Kaling, Kaling referred to her as “Meghan Markle.” Meghan smiled, but she didn’t let it slide. She pointed out, lightly but clearly, that she goes by “Sussex” now. The reason she gave was personal rather than political: motherhood changed the meaning of names for her. She described it as a quiet milestone—sharing the same name with her children—and said she hadn’t understood how much it would matter until she had them.
