Meghan Markle is making waves again on Instagram—just when you thought we were done hearing from her.
Well, think again. Meghan has chosen this moment to reenter the spotlight, running barefoot on a beach like some modern-day Chariots of Fire scene. But instead of charging toward an epic race, she's simply writing "2025" in the sand. However, there’s more to this than meets the eye. Did you notice her Instagram bio? It now reads "Meghan Duchess of Sussex"—minus the all-important "the." It’s a curious move, and no, it's not some quirky rebranding to appeal to a younger crowd.
Meghan, who just can’t seem to let go of that royal title, has dropped the "the," now positioning herself as simply "Meghan," without the article. Could this mean a split from Harry, or was it just a slip-up? Who knows, but it’s likely that someone at her PR team just had a very awkward conversation after this. For context, her full title—"Duchess of Sussex"—has carried significant weight within royal circles, so its omission is noteworthy. It’s practically part of her identity.
What exactly is going on here? Is this some sort of subtle indicator of separation? Meghan might be thinking, "No more 'the,' just Meghan now," similar to celebrities like Beyoncé or Oprah, who are known by one name alone. Let’s not kid ourselves—Meghan would probably love to wield just a single name like them. But instead, she's still clinging to the self-bestowed royal title, which holds little influence in the United States. Living in America, the whole "Duchess" thing just doesn’t have the same impact anymore. It’s like trying to show off a fake Gucci bag in a mall full of Prada. Meghan might be acting as if that title somehow makes her a success, but we all know the truth. The title is her lifeline; without it, who is she really? An actress who couldn’t quite break through, a lifestyle guru whose advice didn’t take off, or worse—a reality TV star? The absence of "the" in her bio might be a glaring red flag. It’s akin to when someone claims to be a "doctor" without specifying which field they specialize in. What happened to Harry? Did she let him go too, or has he already lost his royal title?
For years, Harry and Meghan have been on a freedom flight, but when all is said and done, their titles are what keep them relevant. For Meghan, that title is her safety net, her anchor. And speaking of that video—did anyone notice how Meghan posted it all by herself? No kids, no husband—just her, the sea, and the sound of her ego crashing into the waves. No one was there to remind her that, in her carefully curated world, family is supposed to be the ideal accessory. This time, however, it's just Meghan. It’s hard to imagine what’s next—she'll likely trademark "Meghan Markle" because, let’s face it, she’s all about building that brand now. No pretenses left. Let’s just hope her next post doesn't involve more cryptic beach messages or sand art. And you can bet her PR team had a lot to say about that title blunder. Meanwhile, Harry is probably off at his surf ranch, blissfully unaware of the storm Meghan is stirring up.
