Meghan Markle set the record straight with Mindy Kaling on her new Netflix show.
The “Office” alum referred to the “Suits” alum as “Meghan Markle” multiple times during her appearance on the second episode of “With Love, Meghan,” which premiered Tuesday.
When the actress, 45 said, “People wouldn’t believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box,” Markle, 43, corrected her.
“It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m Sussex now,” the “Suits” alum clarified.
She explained how “meaningful” the moniker is.
“You have kids and you go, ‘No, I share my name with my children,’” Markle noted. “It just means so much to go, ‘This is our family name, our little family name.’”
Kaling replied, “Now I know. And I love it.”
The Duchess of Sussex told People the same sentiment in an interview published Monday.
“I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H and I all have together,” she said of her 5-year-old son, 3-year-old daughter and husband Prince Harry. “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?’” Markle continued. “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.”
Markle and Harry got the respective titles Duchess and Duke of Sussex when they tied the knot in May 2018.
Their kids were initially called Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor and Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor.
The siblings’ titles were updated to Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex following Queen Elizabeth’s 2022 death and King Charles III’s ascension to the throne.
Page Six confirmed in February 2024 that Sussex was their last name.
