King Charles Is Reportedly ‘Reluctant’ To Strip Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Of Their Royal Titles As She Uses Sussex To Promote Herself On New Netflix Series

King Charles On Meghan & Harry's Royal Titles

Royal commentator Phil Dampier gave some insight as to why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are still allowed to use their Sussex name despite not being working royals. "I doubt King Charles would like Meghan making references to the importance of Sussex as her name but I've always felt he's reluctant to start any process of stripping her and Harry of their titles," he explained.

And there are a few reasons for this. One, "it would be difficult to do," Dampier continued.  Secondly, "he doesn't want to make the rift any worse," and third, going along with the latter, King Charles is still "hoping one day there might be a reconciliation with his son."

'You Know I'm Sussex Now?'

For one episode of her show, Meghan invited her friend Mindy Kaling to join her. While the ladies are talking as they are preparing food in the kitchen, Kaling joked, “People wouldn’t believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box.”

The As Ever founder then interjects to correct her friend, and says: “It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying ‘Meghan Markle.’ You know I’m ‘Sussex’ now.”

The mom-of-two then goes on to talk about how much she loves her Sussex title, which was given to her and Prince Harry by the late Queen Elizabeth II during their royal wedding in 2018, and adds: “You have kids and you go, ‘I share my name with my children.’ I didn’t know how meaningful that would be to me, but it just means so much to go, this is our family name, our little family name.”
