On New Year’s Day, January 1st, Meghan Markle surprised the public with something completely unexpected—she launched a brand-new Instagram profile after years of staying away from social media.
Her decision to return to the platform sparked massive interest, with the account attracting tens of thousands of followers within just the first few hours. The video she posted caused a stir among fans, especially when it was revealed that none other than Prince Harry was behind the camera.
While Meghan’s Instagram comeback was a reason for her fans to celebrate, a particular detail quickly became the center of attention, leaving many stunned and raising eyebrows.
The Instagram profile, which initially carried the name “Meghan,” was soon changed to “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.”
At first glance, this might seem like a minor adjustment, but numerous fans and royal observers quickly pointed out a potential issue—the absence of the word “the” in her title.
According to established royal traditions, a title without the article “the” often signifies that the person is no longer married to the titleholder. This fueled speculation about the current status of Meghan’s marriage to Prince Harry.
A royal fan account on social media shared screenshots showing the profile name before and after the change, suggesting that the omission might have been an unintentional error.
As comments poured in, comparisons were drawn to Sarah Ferguson, Prince Andrew’s ex-wife, who uses the title “Duchess of York” without the definitive article “The.”
Fans elaborated that only divorced or widowed women traditionally style their titles this way, further fueling rumors. However, errors in title formatting are not entirely uncommon, leaving room for interpretation.
Are the rumours true?
While speculation about their marriage reached a fever pitch, the rumors were quickly dispelled when Prince Harry appeared in the trailer for Meghan’s new Netflix show. In an emotional moment in the trailer, Harry and Meghan were seen toasting with champagne on a sunny terrace, showcasing their continued bond.
Meghan announced the upcoming series, titled “With Love, Meghan,” on her Instagram profile, revealing its premiere date as January 15th.
The trailer features Meghan cooking in her Montecito kitchen, picking fresh fruit from her garden, and sharing tips on cooking, gardening, and crafts—all in the company of well-known friends.
As fans celebrate Meghan’s return to social media and her exciting new projects, one question lingers—was the title mishap merely an innocent mistake, or is it another detail adding fuel to the already tumultuous narrative surrounding the royal couple?
