Ouch! After Duchess Meghan (43) declared in her Netflix show "With Love, Meghan" that she is now called Meghan Sussex and therefore has the same surname as her children Lilibet and Archie, a member of the royal family has come out to correct her! Her name is by no means Sussex!

Lord Ivar Mountbatten (62), a cousin of King Charles (76), made short work of Prince Harry's wife's statement in an interview with "Town & Country": "That's completely wrong! Sussex is a title, not a surname. Their children are officially called Mountbatten-Windsor." 

Second season confirmed
And he added! "I might watch her show ... but I doubt it will be on for long." Despite all the criticism: Netflix has already confirmed a second season! So Meghan will remain in the spotlight - no matter what the royals think.

Meghan's new business model
Meghan and Harry (40) - the younger son of King Charles III (76) - broke away from their royal duties five years ago. They live in the USA with their children Prince Archie (5) and Princess Lilibet (3). The relationship with the royals is considered to be shattered after various allegations.

In order to stand on their own two feet financially, the couple signed million-dollar deals with streaming companies Spotify and Netflix. Meghan, who previously starred in the series "Suits", has also founded a lifestyle brand with which she wants to market fruit spreads and baking mixes, among other things.
