Amy Schumer mocks Meghan Markle's use of "Sussex."

Amy Schumer recently made a playful remark about Meghan Markle's use of the 'Sussex' surname in an Instagram video. The comedian commented that if Markle wants to be called Meghan Sussex, then Kate Middleton should be referred to as "Kate of Wales." In her video, Schumer casually referenced Meghan during a discussion about royal surnames while promoting a weight-loss medication. She also mentioned an incident from a new Netflix show featuring Markle and Mindy Kaling. In that episode, Markle shared personal stories about her upbringing, which included eating fast food. During the show, Kaling mistakenly called Markle by her old name. Markle quickly corrected her and said that being called Sussex has special meaning for her, especially as a mother. The use of the Sussex surname connects her to her children, Archie and Lilibet. Markle and Prince Harry received the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex when they married in 2018. The couple stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and now live in California. Their children were recently given the titles of prince and princess after their grandfather became king.
