After Viral ‘Sussex’ Correction Moment With Mindy Kaling, Meghan Markle’s New Series Has Her Going By Another Name

by

Ever since Meghan Markle’s lifestyle series “With Love, Meghan” premiered on the 2024 TV schedule, there has been plenty of discussion about it. Topics ranging from its delayed Netflix release to her famous pasta recipe and preferred cookware have sparked debates among fans. However, nothing has stirred up as much controversy as Mindy Kaling referring to Meghan by her maiden name “Markle,” instead of using Prince Harry’s surname “Sussex.” With the debut of her latest project, it appears she is going by a different name now.

What Name Is Meghan Markle Going By Now?

As a passionate cinephile, I’ve been quite busy lately. Since the debut of my Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan,” I’ve embarked on exciting new ventures. Recently, I launched a fresh lifestyle brand called As Ever, and I also started a captivating podcast titled “Confessions of a Female Founder.” At the beginning of each episode, I warmly greet my listeners as the Duchess of Sussex.

I’m Meghan, and this is Confessions of a Female Founder.

Choosing a single name instead of using a full name or title can help prevent mistakes in the future and make her appear more relaxed and approachable when interacting with her podcast guests and followers, without the need for any formal titles.

It was actually Mindy Kaling who set the ball rolling on the Markle-Sussex controversy.

Mindy Kaling’s Meghan Markle Misstep Explained

If you’re not fully caught up with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle (the Duke and Duchess of Sussex), a discussion about the actress’ surname surfaced during episode 2 of “With Love, Meghan”, as Mindy Kaling collaborated with the lifestyle expert to create some sandwiches.

Previously from The Office, this individual was astonished when they learned that Meghan Markle enjoys Jack in the Box fast food, remarking on it. This comment seemed to have been particularly well-received by Jack in the Box, leading to a memorable exchange between Meghan and her guest that went viral, a moment destined to be remembered for a long time.

It’s quite amusing, really, as you continue to refer to ‘Meghan Markle.’ However, now I am known as ‘Sussex.’ You assert that you share your name with your children, and it strikes me profoundly. I didn’t anticipate this level of significance, but the idea that ‘this is our family name, our small family name’ resonates deeply with me.

Mindy Kaling mentioned to The View that she couldn’t recall the viral reprimand since it had been recorded well ahead of time. However, a professional analyzing body language pointed out a brief hint of surprise on the face of the producer behind “The Office” during that instance.

Mindy Kaling was the one who inadvertently said “Markle” instead of “Meghan,” and while we may never fully understand her thought process, I can’t imagine anyone repeating that mistake given all the attention it received. Regardless, the duchess has found an ingenious solution by choosing to go without a last name entirely.
