These Are Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Official Royal Titles
The royal wedding is officially upon us, people. That's right: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are getting married today. In just a few hours, they'll exchange vows in front of thousands of people, including Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, and Idris Elba—not to mention the millions of people watching from their homes.
But first things first: Markle and Prince Harry have to get their royal titles, which the queen just issued to them this morning. A statement from Kensington Palace confirms that Markle and Prince Harry will officially be referred to as—drum roll please—Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
“The Queen has today been pleased to confer a Dukedom on Prince Henry of Wales. His titles will be Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel,” the palace statement reads specifically. “Prince Harry thus becomes His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex, and Ms. Meghan Markle on marriage will become Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.” She's a duchess, people!
According to CNN, Markle will be the first person to hold the title of Duchess of Sussex. There's only been one Duke of Sussex before Prince Harry.
We're still early into the the day, so stay tuned to hear more about the royal wedding arrivals, the vows, the reception, and, of course, the fashion. At this point, we know that Prince Charles will escort Markle down the aisle; the cake is lemon elderflower; and the ceremony starts promptly at noon.
