Meghan Markle Criticized After Harper's Bazaar Says a House Manager Announced Her as 'Duchess of Sussex' at Private Interview

Critics portray the Harper's Bazaar anecdote as inconsistent with her past comments, tying it to promotion for a Netflix holiday special.

Overview

  • Harper's Bazaar reported that a house manager announced "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex" on the journalist's arrival at a friend's Upper East Side brownstone, despite no one else being present.
  • Commentary pieces over Nov. 21–23 sharply attacked the moment, with Daily Mail columnist Maureen Callahan labeling Meghan the "Duchess of Delusion."
  • Geo News highlighted further criticism from pundits, including Lee Cohen, who called the announcement cringeworthy and disrespectful to the late Queen, citing an Express interview.
  • HELLO! noted a royal protocol view that a guest should be announced to the royal rather than the royal being announced to the guest, while acknowledging her duchess title remains correctly used.
  • Coverage links the profile to current publicity for Meghan's Netflix "With Love" holiday special, and it reiterates that she and Prince Harry kept their Sussex titles after leaving royal duties in 2020, with limits on commercial use.
