A Clarifying Answer to a Frequently Asked Question

A frequently asked question about Meghan Markle is: "Will Meghan Markle be Princess Meghan?" The answer is no. Meghan Markle will not be a Princess, just like Princess Kate. Now wait, you are probably thinking: "But, isn't Princess Kate a princess?" The answer to this is simple. While the media calls Catherine Middleton "Princess Kate" and I refer to her as Princess Kate, it is not her real title. Princess Kate's (or should I say, Catherine Middleton's) royal title given to her is Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. Right now, at the moment, the predicted title for Meghan Markle is Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. On the other hand Princess Beatrice is actually a princess born with the title Princess Beatrice of York. A simple answer to a frequently asked question. Image a screenshot from first interview as a couple.

Meghan Markle's Ring

Prince Harry has given Meghan Markle a very meaningful engagement ring. The center stone is from Botswana, a place that is very important to them, and the first place that they traveled in their relationship.
