Just as Meghan was about to explain why she chose to go by Meghan instead of her birth name, the conversation was abruptly cut off—leaving audiences at home wondering.
“Meghan was just about to reveal why she goes by Meghan instead of Rachel,” one viewer noted at the time.
One person reacted with excitement, saying: “Oh, my days! I really wanted to hear what she was going to say about her parents and her name.”
However, Meghan has remained tight-lipped about her birth name and hasn’t addressed the topic since.
What she has shared recently, though, is that she, Prince Harry, and their children—five-year-old Archie and three-year-old Lilibet—have been using a new surname as a family.
In a conversation with People earlier this week, the former Suits actress revealed that they’ve been going by ‘Sussex’ as their official last name for quite some time.
She explained that the title was granted to her and Harry by his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, on their wedding day.
“It’s our shared name as a family,” Meghan told the publication. “And I guess I hadn’t recognised 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.”
