Interesting analysis but who could be paying for this concerted effort? It’s suggested that not only is it coordinated but the people doing it are paid to do so.

Fine to say that and I presume you're a fan of Piers Morgan and the like. Your prerogative.

Incidentally there's been far far far worse said about Meghan and Harry over the years. So much so..'yuk' pales into insignificance, or indeed oblivion compared to what I've seen before

I agree she is not Meghan Duchess of Sussex. She is The Duchess of Sussex. The first one would only be used after divorce. Before Diana's divorce she was The Princess of Wales. After the divorce she was Diana Princess of Wales.

This might help with the Royal Family not getting involved in politics issue

It is not because of the divorce that Diana’s name was styled as such but rather it was because of the loss of the title HRH. Exactly the same as Meghan. It is the loss of the title that leads to the name structure.

As Meghan is still married to Harry, that name remains as is. She is Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. The Firm/Institution does not have it wrong. It’s absolutely in keeping with the precedent set with Diana.

At least on this I agree with the Firm.

@Why2why

I knew about the political lobbying the RF does and hates us to know but to say I'm shocked at the PA US lobbying about JEs original conviction, is an understatement.
WTAF???
And it looks like it's from the Independent, a reliable source.

Yet posters on here are up in arms as to whether Megan is The Duchess of Sussex or just plain old Duchess of Sussex.

Maybe some perspective is needed???

PreparationPreparationPrep · 05/11/2021 08:09

Some posters just don't want M to use the title because they rightly in my view made the decision to step down from royal duties and have not hidden themselves away. Some seem to forget that she is still part of the RF and still married to Harry.
However in SF case where she was effectively kicked out. The fact that she also moved to the US to find her fortune has ALSO been on Oprah too talking about the RF . US TV, wrote about the RF and some dodgy kids books, tried to sell access to PA ...... is not relevant for some because well......she is not Meghan.

PickupaPenguin8 · 05/11/2021 08:34

I don’t think divorce is being ‘kicked out’. She divorced Andrew after the toe sucking affair. Which to be fair was a total embarrassment.

PickupaPenguin8 · 05/11/2021 08:36

I don’t remember her ever lecturing people on how to live or setting herself up as some sort of Seer. That’s partly what rankles.

Viviennemary · 05/11/2021 08:43

I disagree re titles. It might be pedantic but she is not using the correct form. A Senator has complained about her uding her royal title for political lobbying. Seems Americans ardn't pleased either.

PickupaPenguin8 · 05/11/2021 08:52

Why is it necessary to introduce herself as a Duchess anyway? She’s an avowed feminist and prefers the egalitarian nature of life in the US , so it follows she would go back to her own name and operate as an individual, not an appendage of her RF and her husband.

PickupaPenguin8 · 05/11/2021 08:53

The title and grandiosity is a way to gain favours and special access. Which is wrong.

Gossip? What is the source of this gossip?
Don't ask for sources!!

I thought the reason pp found it jarring was because MH went on Oprah..,,, but when pointed out that SF did too - ..... we move on to it's because MH is a feminist, and grandiose - I assume this means that SF is not either of these.

so Meghan marries Harry and becomes the duchess of sussex.

It's not "Americans'. It's right wing politicians who complained.

Exactly.

I mean they all do it, but they don't tend to say the rf is a terrible institution on the one hand who for example wouldn't let them have access to the tiara collection pre wedding (as cited in Finding Freedom The Revenge ) yet in the next breath say call me Duchess. It is their usual hypocrisy, they're all over the place!! Do they not have PR experts to advise them?!

rubicscubicle · 05/11/2021 10:08

Don't know what changing your last name to your husband's has anything to do with feminism. My cousin and her husband hyphenated both their last names. So both changed their names.
The point of feminism is the right to choose. So what if Meghan chooses to use her marriage title.

By the way, she was not using titles to lobby. She was using the tile to introduce herself.

Roussette · 05/11/2021 10:08

No but she did bring out books entitled 'Dining with The Duchess' followed by 'Dieting with The Duchess
Shock

None of this is true. Looks like you are seeing things that are not there. You are the 'Seer' from the looks of things.

Meghan does not create rules or policies, people will live how they want. What a nonsensical statement you are making.

Roussette · 05/11/2021 10:14

Maybe there are other PAID FOR members of the RF we could look at if we're going down the route of lecturing??

Oh no, though... hang on... it isn't Meghan, so not gonna happen.

PreparationPreparationPrep · 05/11/2021 10:17

Diana? SF alluded to it.

derxa · 05/11/2021 10:19

I couldn't care less about what Meghan calls herself or her activism in the US. I suspect her greatest fear is that she and Harry might become completely unheard and irrelevant.

Roussette · 05/11/2021 10:21

SF certainly did allude to it. In her book called 'My Story'. In it he continually blames the RF for all her faux pas. And she blames the bullying 'grey men' and the 'firm'

Roussette · 05/11/2021 10:21

*she. Not 'he'
