Read on to see what we can expect from her new Netflix show

MEGHAN Markle insists her surname is now “Sussex” as she corrects a celebrity pal in her new Netflix show.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, is launching her Netflix rebrand tomorrow with an eight-part cookery coming five years after Megxit.

In the second episode, Meghan welcomes Mindy Kaling who says: “People wouldn’t believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box.”

Meghan fires back with: “It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m Sussex now.”

Speaking in a promotional interview to mark ‘With Love, Meghan’ hitting television screens, she returned to gushing about her Royal Family connections.

The late Queen Elizabeth II honoured Harry and Meghan the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their 2018 wedding.

There have been calls for the couple to be stripped of the titles after blasting the Royals on their Oprah Winfrey tell-all, six-part Netflix series ‘Harry & Meghan’ and shock memoir ‘Spare’.

The California-based pair have also attracted criticism for only visiting Sussex once when they held several engagements seven years ago.

But speaking to People magazine in the US, Meghan now claims the title is important to her.

She said: “It’s our shared name as a family, 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. It means a lot to me.”

The Sussex name, she adds, “is part of our love story.”

Meghan and Harry are also the Earl and Countess of Dumbarton but rarely use the title and are not expected to pass it onto Archie.

They are banned as part of the Megxit agreement from using their ‘SussexRoyal’ brand although the website remains.

Earlier this week, Meg featured Lilibet in an Instagram reel with Serena Williams to promote her new projects.

It comes after the three-year-old appeared in a photo for ‘As ever’ food brand, which sparked controversy after its logo was similar to a Majorcan town’s coat of arms and the same name as a New York clothing brand.

The couple usually keep their children out of the spotlight.

But in her interview carried out after she left Harry in Canada to spend Valentine’s Day alone during the Invictus Games she talks about her children.

She claims five-year-old Archie told her “mama, don’t work so hard’.

Meg told the outlet: “It was the sweetest thing.”

Following a series of rebrands in the US, including a failed podcast with Spotify and projects such as 40 x 40, which failed to get off the ground, Meg is now aiming to become an entrepreneur.

But she had to drop the name ‘American Riviera Orchard’ for her lifestyle after opposition from trademark authority.

Last month, she posted on Instagram saying her brand is to be called ‘As ever. ‘

She told People magazine: “When your children get to a certain age – when you’re not just playing in the sandbox with them but almost playing in your own sandbox again – it’s super joyful.

“As a woman, a mum and a wife, to be able to find yourself again – in a way that was always present but that you maybe couldn’t put as much attention on as you now can when your kids are a little bit older – is a wonderful feeling.”

Harry, whose Netflix effort Polo bombed, appears sporadically in the cookery show ‘With Love, Meghan’.

The show was due to be aired in January but was delayed because of the LA fires.

Royal author Phil Dampier said: “It’s ironic now that Meghan Markle is launching her Netflix show and As ever brand that all of a sudden she’s happy to call herself the Duchess of Sussex a place she has spent only a matter of hours rather than days.

“Without the Sussex title and kudos of being a Royal she’s just another minor celebrity chef or entrepreneur selling her wares.”
