Meghan Markle Wants To Retain Her Duchess Title
Meghan Markle was bestowed with the title when she married Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, in 2018. In January 2020, the couple announced their desire to step down as senior royals and leave the U.K., quoting at the time that “service is universal” and affirming that they will always uphold the Queen’s important work. The couple first moved to Canada during their transition phase, before finally settling in Montecito California, and making a name for themselves there.
They have quite a lot of work engagements on their plate: Prince Harry is working on his successful mental health docuseries The Me You Can’t See – which he co-created with Oprah Winfrey – and Meghan Markle has her first children’s book The Bench to promote. Together, the couple founded the Archewell Foundation and they’ve snatched deals with Spotify and Netflix.
According to an insider, Meghan Markle is determined to retain her Duchess title because she believes it could be a “PR” disaster if she loses it. Despite not being a working member of the royal family for the last 15 months, the former “Suits” actress still continues to use her unique title in all her platforms, from public appearances to her personal pursuits.
Her children’s book The Bench acknowledges her as the author with the title “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex” and it’s not hard to see that the prestigious title is an advantage for the Sussexes.

But with Prince Harry’s numerous attacks on the royal family in his mental health series, a source revealed that Meghan is actually worried about losing the title because of Harry’s latest “truth bombs”.
“She’s told Harry that they need to tone down the attacks on the royal family – she’s afraid they’ll take away their royal titles, which would be a PR disaster,” the Insider said. “Right now, she’s inundated with offers, and that’s in part to being a Duchess.”
Prince Harry has caused a stir for the royal family in his appearances in the AppleTV+ series The Me You Can’t See, and while the royal family remains silent in the face of these attacks, Meghan is alarmed that the “racist firm that traps people” will actually strip them of their titles, which they’ve publicly disclosed that they hate or don’t care much for.

Weeks after the Sussexes announced their desire to step down from their position as senior royals, Buckingham Palace released a statement confirming the news. It further made it clear that Harry and Meghan have decided to step down from their roles, adding that they will no longer have the right to use the titles His Royal Highness and Her Royal Highness, but they were allowed to retain their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles.
To clear up the rumors about what the separation will involve, the message read: “With The Queen’s blessing, the Sussexes will continue to maintain their private patronages and associations.”
“While they can no longer formally represent The Queen, the Sussexes have made clear that everything they do will continue to uphold the values of Her Majesty,” the statement continued. “The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family.”

She’s no duchess or anything with class
I am so sick of the whole mess. If Harry and Meghan get to keep the titles Duchess they will be hurting. Meghan knows if the titles go away, money goes away. Noone wants them to keep their titles. The Queen states she will take away everything and now they get to keep titles after they trashed the Queen and being trapped -talk with Oprah. They don't want to be royal so for money reasons go and be a 3rd rate actress. If the Queen doesn't take away anything that has to be with royality. Meghan lies about every thing. She lied about getting married,etc. The Queen knows if she doesn't let them go and find their find money. If tites are taken away they will be nothing in CA. The book, Harry discussing his help for mental illness. He lied again about that and Meghan just says she is the same way then don't go back, the people don't want you and keep throwing everyone under the bus what did they expect? William is the one that's to be king and Harry is throwing a tantrum because he wants to be king, I heard Harry say that and Meghan wants to be Queen and they would go back, sorry noone wants either of you. Playing the race card. I don'd believe, she knew that would keep them in the media. She is a liar and Harry will find out. Who cares what color the baby is. Anyone thinks that is true-false again. I am sure it was on their mind. The little girl will have dark skin, who cares? Please take away all titles and show them who is Queen or they know they can do what they want.
A title is only relevant if the people are prepared to endorse it. The UK and Commonwealth are the countries and people who put the weight behind these titles and it's their support which enables the title to really stand for something. If the people don't feel they deserve the honor or support of their titles then it means nothing. I don't think Megan or Harry have the respect of many of the UK and Commonwealth, they have treated the UK like dirt and they used Canada like a cheap hotel, so I don't think their titles mean much. Manners make a person and slagging off your own family for $$$ just makes them trash. Only the lowest of the low would crap on their family with a sick and dying relative and an aging grandmother going through such a painful time. I wouldn't acknowledge their titles, they haven't appreciated or respected them so they will get no respect from me. I don't think either Harry or Megan will be very well received by the people of the UK, better they don't return. They can call themselves Duke and Duchess of Hollywood let the ones using them as a cash cow bow and curtsey to them, afterall they are these ones making money off them peddling their Fake Stories. Not surprised Megan is writing a book, she's getting a lot of practice making up tales, can she even separate truth from reality. I doubt it because look at the things she's said about her own family, only to have it disproved by her own sister with actual pictures to prove her tales were untrue
She should lose the Duchess title. She has done nothing but lie about everything. She really wanted William not Harry. She settle for Harry thinking of away she could be Queen. She has stalk the Royal since she was young and she had our first picture when she was 16 in front of the castle. She has worked hard to manipulate and use everyone in the UK.
