Meghan Markle was once again the topic of discussion after she refused to be called Duchess on a television show.
On Sunday, the Duchess of Sussex’s pre-recorded episode of MasterChef Australia aired. Dressed in an all-black outfit, she was the “mystery guest judge.”
One of the judges, Poh Ling Yeow, gave the contestants a surprise by inviting the former Suits actress to join them. He asked Meghan: “Welcome. Shall I call you Duchess?”
But Prince Harry’s wife simply said: “Oh, call me Meghan. Of course, yes.”
Meghan, who previously insisted on being called Duchess on her Netflix show, sparked reactions with her U-turn.
Fans are reacting to the new controversy. One wrote on social media: “Glad she reminded us she’s a duchess.” Another wrote: “That’s amazing.”
“Wait, she doesn’t want to be called royalty? Make up your mind,” wrote another.
The other big moment of the show was the unexpected appearance of Prince Harry via video call. He greeted everyone present on the set.
