Meghan Markle Embraces New Last Name 'Sussex' in Heartfelt Netflix Show

Meghan Markle

Meghan Markle, now proudly going by the last name Sussex, has opened up about the significance of this change on her new Netflix show, "With Love, Meghan". During an honest conversation with her friend Mindy Kaling, Meghan shared the personal journey and the emotional depth behind adopting the last name Sussex, a title she shares with her husband Prince Harry and their children, Archie and Lilibet.

The exchange occurred when Kaling commented on Meghan's past dining habits, saying, "People wouldn’t believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box". Meghan corrected her friend, highlighting, "It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m Sussex now". She went on to express the emotional resonance of this name, saying, "You have kids and you go, ‘No, I share my name with my children.’ It just means so much to go, ‘This is our family name, our little family name.'"

Meghan delved deeper into this theme in an interview with People magazine, revealing, "It’s our shared name as a family, and I guess I hadn’t recognized how meaningful that would be to me until we had children. I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H and I all have together. It means a lot to me. I think as the kids get older, they’re so excited about, ‘Oh my gosh, Mama and Papa, how did you meet?’ I think that will come with time as they get older, but for right now a huge part of our love story is that we share the name Sussex".

The heartfelt narrative is woven throughout the episode, portraying not just the name but the love and unity it symbolizes for the Sussex family. Meghan's candidness has brought a relatable and personal touch to her new series, emphasizing family bonds and the meanings we attach to the names we hold dear.
