Meghan Markle would still hold a royal title if she was stripped of her Duchess of Sussex title, but it would confuse some people, says commentator.
Meghan Markle would still hold a royal title even if she were to lose the Duchess of Sussex style but that could baffle some people, a royal commentator has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s titles have been at the centre of discussions in the last year as many believe that they should not possess or use them to boost their status in their ventures across the pond.

But even if King Charles was to strip them of their titles, Meghan would still be known as Princess Henry.
Technically, women who are married to a British prince are subsequently styled with their husband’s names, like Princess Michael of Kent, who adopted the feminine form of her husband’s name because he does not hold another title.
Harry can’t be stripped of his prince title as it’s his birthright unless done so after an act of Parliament, thus Meghan would be known as Princess Henry if she did not have the Duchess title.
But a royal expert said this title might be confusing to some people, especially those who are not from Britain.
