Meghan Markle corrects Mindy Kaling on her last name in new Netflix show: ‘I’m Sussex now’

Meghan Markle no longer uses her maiden surname “Markle,” instead opting for “Sussex” so as to share the same last name as her children.Meghan, 43, who has two children with her husband, Prince Harry, 40 — son Prince Archie of Sussex, 5, and daughter Princess Lilibet of Sussex, 3 — made the revelation during a conversation with Mindy Kaling on the second episode of her new Netflix lifestyle show, “With Love, Meghan.” Kaling, one of the series’ celebrity guests, refers to Meghan with the surname she used during her days as an actress while talking about kids’ parties and their own childhoods.“People wouldn’t believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box,” Kaling, 45, says, which spurs Meghan to correct the “Mindy Project” star, according to People.“It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying ‘Meghan Markle,'” Meghan tells Kaling. “You know I’m Sussex now.”After marrying Prince Harry in May 2018, she and Harry officially became “the Duke and Duchess of Sussex,” a title given to them by the late Queen Elizabeth II as a wedding present.The couple’s children, born Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, were made Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex, following the death of Queen Elizabeth and the ascension of Harry’s father, King Charles III, owing to royal rules which entitle the grandchildren of a sovereign to become prince or princesses of the realm.“You have kids and you go, ‘No, I share my name with my children,'” Meghan added.
