Meghan Markle’s recent Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, has sparked controversy, particularly after a moment that irked some viewers. In the show, Meghan, when speaking with Mindy Kaling, corrected her use of the name “Meghan Markle,” saying, “You know, I’m Sussex now.” This shift in identity, which Meghan explains as important for her family, has caused a rift with her father, Thomas Markle.
Thomas, who has been estranged from Meghan since 2018, criticized her for dropping the Markle surname, claiming his late mother would be disappointed. He also criticized Meghan’s presentation in the show, accusing her of being inauthentic and overly focused on perfection. His comments sparked mixed reactions online, with some siding with him while others supported Meghan’s decision to change her name.
