Meghan Markle was criticised by a royal commentator after it was revealed that she was announced like royalty, even in semi-formal settings, in a new interview released this week. The Duchess of Sussex is on the latest cover of US magazine Harper’s Bazaar, and its writer Kaitlyn Greenidge spoke about how she met up with the duchess to conduct the interview, saying: “We’re in a grand brownstone on the Upper East Side that belongs to one of Meghan’s friends. When I enter, the house manager announces, ‘Meghan, Duchess of Sussex,’ even though we appear to be the only other two people in the house.”

The incident was ridiculed by fans and royal watchers alike, and, while the Sussexes still retain their royal titles, Meghan has further been condemned for being announced by staff because there was only one other person in the room. Now the Daily Mail’s Maureen Callahan, who is a regular critic of the Montecito couple, named Meghan the “Duchess of Delusion” and said she appears to be “deeply uncool”.

She said: “Call her the Duchess of Delusion. In a new cover profile for Harper’s Bazaar, in which Meghan Markle claims, yet again, to finally be free to tell her story — we’ve only heard this every hour, on the hour, since Megxit — we are treated to a tableau like no other. So much for Meghan’s title meaning nothing. Clearly, it means everything to her — the only thing, aside from her ever-present victimhood, that makes her feel validated. Worthy. Important. What a ridiculous, empty person she is. How deeply uncool.”
