00:00Megan exploits title in absurd choreographed entrance.

00:04Megan Markle is allegedly using her royal title to make grand entrances.

00:08While sitting down in New York City with writer Caitlin Greenidge for Harper's Bazaar,

00:12Megan Markle made a bold impression.

00:15We're in a grand brownstone on the Upper East Side that belongs to one of Megan's friends.

00:19When I enter, the house manager announces,

00:22Megan, Duchess of Sussex,

00:23even though we appear to be the only other two people in the house, the journalist claimed.

00:27According to royal expert Tom Sykes,

00:30Megan Markle's attempt at pomp and circumstance seems embarrassing.

00:34Assuming the house manager didn't spontaneously wake up and think,

00:37I shall announce Megan, Duchess of Sussex, at every opportunity today.

00:42We must conclude this absurd scene has been choreographed by Megan for the benefit of the journalist,

00:47he wrote on the Royalist Substack.

00:49It feels like a desperate attempt to drill into the journalist

00:52that Megan is to be referred to in the copy as the Duchess of Sussex,

00:55not Megan Markle from Deal or No Deal.

00:59Tom Sykes also noted that although association with the royal family is significant in England,

01:04it doesn't hold the same weight in the United States.

01:07This is absurd, and particularly because it is all unfolding in America,

01:11where British peers always used to know far better than to flounce around waving titles,

01:16he wrote.

01:17It's deeply uncool and painfully embarrassing.

01:19For more than a century, British aristocrats have understood that whatever magic a title carries

01:25in Britain, it evaporates instantly in the United States.

01:29Megan Markle has been accused of using her title for financial gain

01:32multiple times since she and Prince Harry left the firm in 2020.

01:36Having slammed the royal family for years now,

01:39she really wants to use the title Sussex,

01:41and she wants to use Sussex Royal as her branding,

01:44which she was told she wasn't allowed to.

01:46But it feels a little bit hypocritical to rely on that royal fame to sell products and maintain

01:51notoriety, reporter Charlotte Griffiths told the UK's Channel 5.
