    FORMER working royal Meghan Markle says she's ditched her infamous moniker in favour of her borrowed title from the monarchy.  

    The duchess reveals all in her new Netflix series called With Love, Meghan – which hasn't had the best of feedback from followers.  

    After launching her new influencer personality, complete with her @meghan Instagram page, she's trying her hand at reality TV.

    In one scene, the Mindy Project actress is in the blogger's kitchen at the couple's sprawling Montecito mansion, discussing fast food. 

    "I don't think anyone in the world knows that Meghan Markle has eaten Jack In The Box and loves it," Mindy says of Meghan – before awkwardness.  

    The former podcaster replies: "It's so funny too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I'm Sussex now." 

    She adds: "I didn't know how meaningful it would be to me but it just means so much to go "This is OUR family name. Our little family name." 

    Fans are having none of it though, with one writing: "Duchess of Sussex is a courtesy title she holds only through her marriage.

    "It is not her surname and I'm quite sure she doesn't have '"Meghan Sussex" on her California drivers license. Legally her last name should be Mountbatten-Windsor." 

    Another added: "So who criticizes a guest like that? And her last name is not Sussex. Wouldn't it be Mountbatten-Windsor?" 

    Per the official Royal Family website, "The Duke of Sussex's official titles are The Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel.  

    "He was made a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (KCVO) by Queen Elizabeth II in June 2015. 

    "The Duchess's official titles are The Duchess of Sussex, Countess of Dumbarton and Baroness Kilkeel."
