Meghan Markle is “clearly proud” to be connected to the Royal Family, claims one body language expert.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, was heard correcting her surname from ‘Markle’ to ‘Sussex’ in one episode of her new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.

Actress Mindy Kaling, who also made an appearance in Meghan’s past podast series, appeared in the second episode of With Love, Meghan.

During a light-hearted conversation about their childhoods, Meghan revealed how she “grew up with fast food, TV tray dinners, and microwavable kids’ meals,” adding she also spent time “watching Jeopardy and having a lot of fast food — Taco Bell, Jack in the Box.”

Mindy, who starred in The Office, then replied: “People wouldn’t believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box.”

To which, Meghan, correcting her friend, said: “It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m Sussex now.”

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Slots about Meghan’s decision to correct her surname, body language expert Darren Stanton said: “There was a flash of surprise from Mindy Kaling when Meghan corrected her about the name from Markle to Sussex.

“It shows pride in her relationship with Harry, but also her accepting and being completely open to her royal status. Meghan is clearly proud to be a part of the family.”

Speaking of Meghan and Harry’s relationship, he added: “Her relationship with Harry also appears stronger than ever.”

Clearly annoyed by Meghan’s correction, 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.”

Trying to correct Meghan, another replied: “Your last name is Windsor-Mountbatten, Sussex is your title! A prestigious name for this moron who appreciates nothing.”
