Meghan Markle has been accused of “arrogance” after speaking about her Royal title in an interview ahead of her new series.

She told Magazine: “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.”
Accusing her of arrogance, one X user wrote:”Excuse me but #MeghanMarkle wants you to know that her last name is Sussex. Not so fast, Markle. Not in the US. We don’t have titles and “of Sussex” is a title.
“Had you stayed in the UK? Sure. You just decided a year or so ago to use Sussex for your mystery kids. The pretentious arrogance is WILD. Titles mean nothing here. Deal with it.
Five years have passed since she and Harry made the decision to quit life as senior working royals and eventually settle in Montecito, California.
Another wrote: “Your last name is Windsor- Mountbatten, Sussex is your tittle! A prestigious name for this moron who appreciates nothing.”
In the interview, Meghan also opens up about her own growth, and explains how her husband Harry appears to be happier for his wife, now she is doing again what she is passionate about. She explains: “My husband met me when I had The Tig, and I see this spark in his eye when he sees me doing the thing that I was doing when he first met me.”
