Meghan Markle 'determined' to keep royal titles for Sussex family after chats with Princess Beatrice and Eugenie
Meghan Markle is reportedly 'determined' to keep her Duchess of Sussex title
Meghan Markle is said to have had a "dramatic change of heart" about the importance of her royal and wants to keep it more than ever, a royal expert claims.
- Meghan Markle is reportedly 'determined' to keep her Sussex title despite previously dismissing its importance.
- The Duchess of Sussex is claimed to have changed her mind after speaking with Princess Eugenie and Beatrice.
- This royal news comes after it was claimed that Meghan Markle is ‘rewriting the narrative’ and ‘reminding us that she is a person’ with her podcast, Archetypes.
Meghan Markle is understood to be keen to keep her Duchess of Sussex title after changing her mind on its importance after speaking to Princess Beatrice and Eugenie.
Meghan, who previously dismissed the importance of having a royal title during her and Prince Harry's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, is said to be more determined to keep her title than ever before, according to Royal commentator Neil Sean, who explains why she's had such a "dramatic change of heart" these days.
Sean tells The Daily Express, "Harry and Meghan are very, very keen to cling onto those royal titles. After much deliberation, Meghan decided that the titles would be a good thing, not just for her, but for both her children, too.
"Meghan became very friendly with senior members of the monarchy, predominantly Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice. After this, Meghan realised how useful a title can be, particularly when you want to move in the correct circles. That is the reason why they want to clutch hold of titles."
At the time of her Oprah interview, Meghan, who is a mother of two, explained how she valued the "mom" title the most, she said, "All the grandeur surrounding this stuff is an attachment I don’t personally have. I’ve been a waitress, an actress, a princess, a duchess—I’ve always still just been Meghan, right? I’ve been clear on who I am, independent of all that stuff, and the most important title I’ll ever have is mom. I know that."
Meghan was most recently pictured sitting next to Princess Beatrice at the Queen's funeral and Sean claims, "It’s really down to the fact that, after befriending Beatrice and Eugenie, she saw how useful those titles are to them."
