The questionable way Meghan Markle now uses her royal title

And she says ‘Senator Capito?’ I said yes.’ She said: ‘This is Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex,’ said Republican Senator Shelley Moore Capito. Politics. “I couldn’t figure out how she got my number.” Another politician told Politico that the way Markle uses his royal title is a bit off-putting. âTo my surprise, she called me on my private line and introduced herself as the Duchess of Sussex, which is quite ironic,â Republican Senator Susan Collins told Politico.
