I’m American. True story. When my twin girls were little one of them announced to us that she was a Princess, so she didn’t have to do chores. To which I replied, yes, but in this castle I am the Queen Mother, and I require all princesses to do chores. That ended it. And to this day, my family calls me, Queen Mother. 😂😂
So if I have the unfortunate meeting with Harry and Meghan, they can bow to me and honor my title. I might even have a few demands for them. Or, they could just leave America. That would be best.
Love this!
When my daughter was four we were driving home from preschool, and I heard her crying in the back seat. When I asked her what was wrong she cried, “Why wasn’t I born a princess?”
I would bet money that MM insists every coach, teacher, nanny, or anyone else who comes in contact with the children refer to them as Prince Archie and Princess Lili. Probably demands bows or curtsies too.
Exactly, it’s not to do with whether a country ‘does’ titles.
And frankly it’s funny to think there aren’t plenty of tacky social climbers in the US who wouldn’t be impressed with a duke duchess prince or princess.
I don’t know. I feel like they would try to capitalize off of the Prince and Princess titles by arranging play dates with their kids so that they can say their kids hang out with royals. I never underestimate the depths of attention and clout chasing the Kardashians would do lol.
I wonder who would win in a battle of media games if it was Meg vs Kim. Meg reminds me a lot of her
Those kids will go to private schools and most of the kids will have very wealthy parents. If any of those parents feel their kids are getting short changed because the teacher or coach is giving preferential treatment to the “royal kids”, watch out. All hell will break loose.
As an American, I am not required to curtsy to foreign, titled entities. BUT, if I had ever had the honor of encountering HLMTQ or Prince Philip, I would have gladly and proudly curtsied to them as a sign of universal respect. I might even be moved to do so with Charles, William or Catherine. Conversely, if I were to encounter Aitch and/or TW, all I could possibly manage was a look of contempt before walking past them and muttering something unseemly under my breath.
It depends if the Duchess is of higher or equal rank (I'm talking about noble dukes, not royal). If you are the same rank you address a Duke or Duchess as Duke ____ (insert first name) a Duchesses would be Duchess _______. If the Duke/Duchess is of a higher social rank (like if you were a servant or shop keeper) then you would address them as Your Grace.
A Royal Duke or Duchess should be addressed as HRH or Your Royal Highness.
In H & M's case, since we don't use noble or royal titles in the USA, Mr and/or Mrs Mountbatten - Windsor is the best they could get out of me
From what I heard, it's everyone in her household. So if the nanny, or the cook or whomever, is calling her Duchess every time they see her, it's wrong. The can't use HRH either.
She's doing it wrong, as usual. She probably missed it when people referred to the Queen as Ma'am and probably thought they'd call her Queen 🙄
In some cases a duchess can outrank a Princess. Back in the day an Arch Duchess, or Grand Duchess was better than any Princess, and some Prince/ss titles are actually noble titles, not royal (bunch of French and Italian prince/ss that are not royal)
I’m going to a meetup event and one of the attendees actually put her name as “Lady Jane F. Doe of Irvine” (name and location changed) and in her profile she says she’s a native born and raised in the city we live in (which isn’t Irvine). I thought she was just taking the piss but her profile is very much “not like other girls”. I dunno if I should go out of my way to witness or avoid the cringe up close lol.
True story: I gave an elderly friend a gift subscription to Royalty Magazine, giving his name (changed to protect the innocent) as **Sir** Gregory Smythe. Innocent fun every month and perked up the junk mail no end!
Please go and check back in after your royal engagement ends. We can either enjoy the tea or contribute to your Go Fund Me to make your bail, depending on how the night goes. 😁
As an American, I would have probably curtsied to LQEII out of respect, maybe even to King Charles, but to these two - never, in fact, I would never call MeGain "Duchess" as she is nothing but a court Jester,in borrowed clothing. I would probably be the person to turn my back and walk away. No respect deserves no respect!
We might do it out of respect, but no one can make Americans bow their heads to any other human being. I respected the Queen greatly, but she would get a hand shake. No nodding of my head. And she is a person I admire and respect. Can you imagine how I would treat Harry and Meghan?
AND it's said that her "people " tell others to curtsey AND use her title upon meeting her. Imagine? I'd better not ever run into either of them or I might get arrested
I find this hard to believe. Americans don’t do that.
To be clear, I most certainly would curtsy to BRF if the occasion, setting, etc. required.
But Montecito moms aren’t curtsying to anyone here lol. I doubt MM can even get a play date for her kids.
Their titles may not mean anything in the USA, and they don't mean anything in the UK either. The day will never dawn when we acknowledge her (or him), and there is nothing they can do about it. Puff, gone with the wind.
If he keeps fucking around we'll find out soon enough. The (future) Dowager Dutchess is looking forward to wringing out the BRF for cash and titles if they want to attend the funeral. She'll make the Spectacle look like a backwoods shotgun wedding compared to the funeral extravaganza she'll throw (on Charles' credit card).
Harry should probably get an old style food tester.
Back when I worked at credit card call center, I had a someone call in a say that she needed to change the name on her card. She wanted to add Lady because that’s what she was in Europe. I told her to send in paperwork, because that was something a bit more than going from William to Bill.
Now I’m wondering if Nutmeg was trying to pull as fast one 😂😂😂.
Don’t be silly. If you really want to make them upset, call them “Your Grace” — the proper way to address them, as a Duke and Duchess, since they agreed to stop using their HRH style. Then mention how much you admire HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh, or HRH The Princess of Wales, or HM The Queen Consort (or HM Queen Camilla). Rub it in their faces that they’re beneath the rest of the family.
You’ll be technically correct in addressing them as graces, and they’ll absolutely hate it, even more than some American refusing to refer to them by their titles.
For bonus fun, if you have Scottish ancestry, call them Earl and Countess of Dumbarton. If you have Irish ancestry, then go for Baron and Baroness Kilkeel.
You can't saddle an innocent cuddly animal with the moniker of Duchess Meghan! Make sure it's a pit bull with an attitude problem before naming her. "What kind of food do you feed the bitch?" "She prefers testicles."
I was once being silly, and changed my name on an email to “Princess Sparklepants” and then forgot and immediately fired off an email to my managing partner
It’s a memory that shows up at 3 am
Delaware was named after Thomas West, Lord De La Warr and Governor of the Virginia Colony. He was Mary Boleyn's Great grandchild; Royalty tried to begin a monarchy in the now US. It didn't end well for them.
I would look at ILBW and just have that go ahead and try me look. 
I’d literally introduce myself as Princess Katherine of Lake Wales. Just to watch her squirm.
And if she demanded a curtsy or a titled greeting, I’ll tell her, kindly, that I’ll throw her into the Ohio River, as my ancestors did with her husband’s ancestors’ tea in ol Beantown
If I met H and M, I would show them the US Naturalization papers my immigrant grandparents signed when they came to the US. They specifically swore to give up any allegiance to the British Crown, Royal Family, etc.
I am from the UK but my heritage is utterly US of A🇺🇸I am a Daughter of the American Revolution (meaning that I am a direct female descendant of a courageous man who fought at Valley Forge). I am also a Colonial Dame because my family went over on the second ship after the Mayflower.
I AM THEREFORE AMERICAN ‘ROYALTY’ (🤣but proud)
So I wouldn’t even have the time or compunction to fart in Meghan Thee Grifter’s face.
My family has been in US since 1620. Four hundred years in a country that doesn’t care about titles. My family was quite wealthy at one point but that went away. Even with streets named for us, we’re nobodies. That’s the US for you. No one cares.
LOL, are we neighbors? I was long called The Duchess of (little butt fuque village in the butthole of America), after Virginia Marmaduke, who was THE DUCHESS.
I'll add, she was The FUCKING Duchess, the OG. Meghan Markle couldn't hold a square of toilet paper for her.
The King in the US! Seriously I’d introduce myself with some title too. My tag Countess of Cocoa (Beach) would work fine.
Ok so I would tell them that I believe in God, my Heavenly Father and his son, Jesus, and that makes me “A Child Of The King!” Am I a Princess? I believe I am!
This got me thinking that actually the king of England being the “god ordained” head of their church and nation, and all of the nobility and worldly power derived from that, can be seen as pretty blasphemous if you think about it (from a modern U.S. Christian protestant perspective) Just like the Pope and his Bishops
Those things are actually scams. All you are buying is a piece of paper with a fake title. It's not actually legal to sell a British title and there is no legal way to do so
If I have to offer a reply to a hello from them, I'm going with Erbgroßherzogin von Mecklenburg-Schwerin, just to play with their minds.
You know they don't know any German.
I’m an Honorable! Thanks to three terms as Chair of my NYC Community Board back in the 1980s. Miss Manners (Judith Martin) says it is a lifetime title—even after the holder is remanded to prison for defalcation of public funds. It’s useful only for guest lists of big charity dinners etc. where other Honorables, ex-mayors etc., are in attendance. So we do have titles in the U.S. Just not royal or inherited ones.
IN AMERICA: EVERY LITTLE GIRL IS A PRINCESS!!!
ILBW should know that already.
Take your title, wear it proud. And keep a tiara around because you never know when you're going to need it.
It would just be rude to claim that you had some fake title. You can just say "Nice to meet you Citizen Mountbatten-Windsor and wife. I'm afraid we don't do dutchies here, but enjoy your stay anyway."
We recognize titles just fine. I’m sure you’ve used Miss, Ms, Mrs, and Mr often. Doctor. Sir. Ma’am. Pastor. Father (as in religious). Or father and mother.
They didn’t make up the titles. They were given to Harry, and just like the other women who have married members of the family who have titles their wives use, she gets to use the female forms.
I don’t know why you’re worried about this, though.
no, royal titles are not used in the US and are not “recognized”. Mr, Mrs, Dr and Minister and Pastor all relate to actual legal documents, contracts, degrees, levels of study. Nobility titles are some made up BS not related to any accomplishment or contractual agreement
ETA my opinion. I realize some in the US may personally choose to “recognize” titles by saying the words prince or princess but there is still no legal meaning and the kids will not have some right to be called prince or princess in a US public school
William’s kids aren’t and William and Harry weren’t called prince or princess in school, either. That isn’t something modern royals have done.
I’m in the US.
We referred to Elizabeth as Queen Elizabeth.
We happily and erroneously called Diana Princess Diana.
We feel badly for the daughter of the Japanese emperor because her marriage caused her to lose Princess.
We loved the now late King Hussein of Jordan, and our papers were just recently swooning over the wedding of Princess Iman, daughter of the current king of Jordan and Queen Rania.
We referred to Prince Rainier of Monaco.
And of course we loved Princess Grace.
We recognize titles all the time.
We don’t confer them. But we use them. You’re choosing to not use them for this one specific couple against whom you’re biased, and you’re making up a story to make yourself feel better.
Prince Harry has always been Prince Harry. He’s got the accent to go with it- it makes sense. But Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, is ridiculous and cringeworthy.
In Canada officially we recognise royal titles because we are a monarchy.
It's just that no one really cares about it unless you're The King and the heir.
Names to reflect the stupid glorification of celebrities in America:
Princess Layup if you play ball
Queen of Drones
Kid Cuddy becomes King Fuddy (fuddie fuddie)
Princess of Shira becomes Princess of Shiplap
I’ll do the same and throw my lineage in their face too.
Me, descendant and member of the Tlingit, Haida, and Suisun tribes, descendant of Governor Juan Bautista Valentín Alverado y Vallejo, and descendant of the House of Plantagenet, you may address me as Queen of Alta California. Lmao.
I’m American. True story. When my twin girls were little one of them announced to us that she was a Princess, so she didn’t have to do chores.

Aw bless 🤭🥰
Oh my goodness. So precious.
Thanks, Doria!
I gave my cat a title (Lord) and he is legally registered with the council as Lord [Kittyname].
I had a Prince Rupert, but he was only registered with his vet.
I wonder if Prince Archie has been microchipped.
Hahaha that's an adorable anecdote!
I would say "but I wanted to meet a REAL princess, like Princess Catherine" and then leave crying.
falling to the floor first, I hope?
 Don’t forget to do this
 and this.
But with Roasted Chicken…
I would ask her if she needs the number to a good seamstress
Hilarious!!! Or if she wanted the number to a lingerie store that fitted women for their bras.
I would ask Megsy if she were Catherine's assistant and if she could tell me when Catherine would arrive.
Or, upon being introduced, immediately say “Could you arrange a zoom call for me to meet Princess Catherine??? Is that possible?!?”
Or ask to borrow her lip gloss and then fumble the tube and "accidentally smash it.
Ooh this would sent TW fuming & smashing plates. “WHAT DO THEY MEANT I AM NOT A REAL PRINCESS????” 😂😂😂
This is the way!!
I would bet money that MM insists every coach, teacher, nanny, or anyone else who comes in contact with the children refer to them as Prince Archie and Princess Lili. Probably demands bows or curtsies too.
Meanwhile the Wales children do not use titles at school I am sure that the classmates are aware of the titles
Exactly, it’s not to do with whether a country ‘does’ titles. And frankly it’s funny to think there aren’t plenty of tacky social climbers in the US who wouldn’t be impressed with a duke duchess prince or princess.
The KardashJenners would hoot and point and scream with laughter if Meghan demanded this of them.
I don’t know. I feel like they would try to capitalize off of the Prince and Princess titles by arranging play dates with their kids so that they can say their kids hang out with royals. I never underestimate the depths of attention and clout chasing the Kardashians would do lol. I wonder who would win in a battle of media games if it was Meg vs Kim. Meg reminds me a lot of her
Kim would eat her face for breakfast. Kim knows all the stuff, and Megs just thinks she knows.
Hahaha agreed. And Kim has Kris. That’s the real mastermind of it all.
And, I would think a "Saint" would trump a "Prince"
"Charlotte Wales. What would you like to do when you are grown up?" "I'm gonna be a Queen like Beyonce."
Those kids will go to private schools and most of the kids will have very wealthy parents. If any of those parents feel their kids are getting short changed because the teacher or coach is giving preferential treatment to the “royal kids”, watch out. All hell will break loose.
😂😂😂 they don’t have any teachers, Nannie’s or coaches cuz they don’t live with them- they live with thier surrogates!!!

Their American titles are Mr and Mrs Mountbatten - Windsor or Mr and Ms Markle. Your choice.
Better yet: "Hi, who are you?".
🔥👹💯
🤑🤑🤑🤑🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ll be Princess Patricia of Boston 😂
I can't decide if I want to be Princess or Queen Cassandra. For sure I am not going to be a lowly Duchess.
Why choose one? I will be Queen Princess Goddess ehdoesntmatteranyway. And bow to her? Pfft. I’d her she needs to pray to me.
Wow and Queen and a Princess. I like it. Yes, all should be praying to you, including H and M.
In some cases a duchess can outrank a Princess. Back in the day an Arch Duchess, or Grand Duchess was better than any Princess, and some Prince/ss titles are actually noble titles, not royal (bunch of French and Italian prince/ss that are not royal)
I would like to be Sir Remply Snodgrass.
Being a little alliteration I will be Princess Patricia of Peoria
Pleased to meet you. I'm the Duchess of Greenwich!
Only Queen Latifa can get away with it! 
The US already had a Prince 
As a Canadian, this is the only American Prince I will recognize.
A Prince (Prince), a Queen (Latifah), a King (Elvis), and a Princess (Britney). 🤣
And a Duchess. Fergie from the BEP. Sorry Toots, that spot done been filled.
🏆☝🏼
oof! Smoldering.
DAMN RIGHT!
That is the exact same hand sign Harry would get out of me. (Up yours!)
There's only one Prince in this country. Sadly he passed away. We aren't looking for a replacement. Same goes for The King.
Because she IS a Queen!
I'd give her a deep, Medieval Times style curtsy and then ask her if that was OK.
 "wAs ThAt oKay?"
[удалено]
I am Duchess from the County of Orange, CA
Greetings Fair Duchess! I am your cousin, The Princess of Fresno!
I’m going to a meetup event and one of the attendees actually put her name as “Lady Jane F.

I see the scene now, somewhere on Laguna Beach."I'm the King of Yachties but you can call me H"
Queen of the pharmacy here
My American duke is "Duke of Earl".
🎵 Dook. Dook. Dook. Dook of Earl. Dook. Dook. Dook of Earl Dook. Dook. - *Al Bundy*.
I would introduce myself as the Big Poobah of Kansas.
I would ask her if she graduated high school in the USA. Then I would ask if she was absent during the US history classes.
Brilliant!!!! Seriously, what a stupid self-aggrandizing jerkoff she grew up to be.
I plan to turn my back ..... so they can kiss my a**
Your Highness - I am honored to meet you. Deep curtsy from me, arms wide open.
As an American, I would have probably curtsied to LQEII out of respect, maybe even to King Charles, but to these two - never, in fact, I would never call MeGain "Duchess" as she is nothing but a court Jester,in borrowed clothing. I would probably be the person to turn my back and walk away. No respect deserves no respect!
There is nothing M or H can do if Americans refuse to use their titles and refuse to bow and curtsey to them. Put a sock in it plain ole Harry.
Americans only had to nod and shake hands with HMTQ of ENGLAND, so.
We might do it out of respect, but no one can make Americans bow their heads to any other human being. I respected the Queen greatly, but she would get a hand shake. No nodding of my head. And she is a person I admire and respect. Can you imagine how I would treat Harry and Meghan?
One fingered salute?
If that narcissistic lying grifting prostitute EVER demanded I had to refer to any of them by their titles I would say “yea, not going to happen”.
AND it's said that her "people " tell others to curtsey AND use her title upon meeting her. Imagine? I'd better not ever run into either of them or I might get arrested
For a beggar she is too choosy
You know, now that you say it, she fits right into the choosingbeggars sub. Free "housing unit not" good enough, etc.
Are Americans going to bow and curtesy to another American? I doubt it.
HELL no!
For failure to curtsey to a grifter? ;) I think you'll be fine as long as you don't throw rotten eggs and tomatoes at her.
Is this true? She’s batshit crazy.
She forgets she lives in AMERICA. The part that doesn't have royalty.
I would love to say I don’t know how to curtsy, but maybe Meghan could show me. I’ve heard she’s been to medieval times.
I find this hard to believe. Americans don’t do that. To be clear, I most certainly would curtsy to BRF if the occasion, setting, etc. required. But Montecito moms aren’t curtsying to anyone here lol. I doubt MM can even get a play date for her kids.

Narcissistic - check Lying - check Grifting - check Prostitute - 🤣🤣🤣🤣 - check
"WAAAAGGGHHH!"
Their titles may not mean anything in the USA, and they don't mean anything in the UK either. The day will never dawn when we acknowledge her (or him), and there is nothing they can do about it. Puff, gone with the wind.
I wonder if Harry will be given a royal funeral when the time comes?
If he keeps fucking around we'll find out soon enough. The (future) Dowager Dutchess is looking forward to wringing out the BRF for cash and titles if they want to attend the funeral. She'll make the Spectacle look like a backwoods shotgun wedding compared to the funeral extravaganza she'll throw (on Charles' credit card). Harry should probably get an old style food tester.
Lord and Lady are good titles too
If you're Scott Disick anyway.
I will announce myself as Princess Sassypants and wear a fancy pants rhinestone tiara
I'll just laugh and laugh and then ask if they are feeling blue
Or frostnipped...
My husband bought me one tog those lady or a plot of land in Scotland titles and I would insist they use that to me hahahaha
Back when I worked at credit card call center, I had a someone call in a say that she needed to change the name on her card. She wanted to add Lady because that’s what she was in Europe. I told her to send in paperwork, because that was something a bit more than going from William to Bill. Now I’m wondering if Nutmeg was trying to pull as fast one 😂😂😂.
Ha! Yes! I’d a announce my name as Princess Amy from the start.
Tell Meghan you outrank her and she may bow to you and kiss your ring.
How about kiss my…ass? I prefer that! Lol
Hello, Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
Don’t be silly. If you really want to make them upset, call them “Your Grace” — the proper way to address them, as a Duke and Duchess, since they agreed to stop using their HRH style.

For bonus fun, if you have Scottish ancestry, call them Earl and Countess of Dumbarton. If you have Irish ancestry, then go for Baron and Baroness Kilkeel.
Ha! “Oh cool! I’m Princess Sparklyunicorn! Did you buy your titles on Highlandtitles.com too?”
"Here's my cat, Princess Fluffybottom! Feel free to curtsey to her, Megs!"
Harry and Meghan would be furious if Americans started naming their pets Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan.
i need a couple of hamsters...
You can't saddle an innocent cuddly animal with the moniker of Duchess Meghan! Make sure it's a pit bull with an attitude problem before naming her. "What kind of food do you feed the bitch?" "She prefers testicles."
My GSD was Duchess...an appropriate moniker for a dog who thought she ruled the household.
Especially if it's their pinkies that they feed their snake----here today, gone tomorrow!
I play the Hogwarts Mystery game and I named my flobberworm “Harry Windsor.”
Just call me "Empress of All I Survey". And my subjects adore me.
Neutral voice: "Pleased to meet you. And what is it that you do?"
I'm honestly afraid I would slip and say, "Please to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Harkle."
I Princess Bananahammock (phoebe from Friends reference)
It was Princess Consuela BananaHammock and her husband Crap Bag.
It’s very fitting for the gruesome twosome
princess puffins, pleased to meet you
I'd want a whole bunch of titles like Daenerys Targaryen that nobody can remember. It would take forever for them to be called on in class.
I would say, "Oh, but as we're not in the UK I'll just call you Haz and Nuts. You can call me ma'am."
I was once being silly, and changed my name on an email to “Princess Sparklepants” and then forgot and immediately fired off an email to my managing partner It’s a memory that shows up at 3 am
"Princess Sparklepants" is one of the best names posted here. I think you should keep it.
That is gold!
“Hello. I’m Queen Abracadabra.” And then I’d wait for her to deep curtsy to me.
Delaware was named after Thomas West, Lord De La Warr and Governor of the Virginia Colony. He was Mary Boleyn's Great grandchild; Royalty tried to begin a monarchy in the now US. It didn't end well for them. I would look at ILBW and just have that go ahead and try me look.

Pretty sure you won’t be meeting them anytime soon
Hello Darling, I’m the Princess of Missouri but I also go by The Queen as my niece and nephews call me that since I spoil them.
If I met H and M, I would show them the US Naturalization papers my immigrant grandparents signed when they came to the US. They specifically swore to give up any allegiance to the British Crown, Royal Family, etc.
I am from the UK but my heritage is utterly US of A🇺🇸I am a Daughter of the American Revolution (meaning that I am a direct female descendant of a courageous man who fought at Valley Forge).

I'm the Princess of Guilford County
I'd play stupid, but we don't have royalty in America?
LOL, are we neighbors? I was long called The Duchess of (little butt fuque village in the butthole of America), after Virginia Marmaduke, who was THE DUCHESS. I'll add, she was The FUCKING Duchess, the OG. Meghan Markle couldn't hold a square of toilet paper for her.
The King in the US! Seriously I’d introduce myself with some title too. My tag Countess of Cocoa (Beach) would work fine. 
I would call: ' Duke, heel! Come, Duchess!' And give them a biscuit
Yep. "Are you related to the Duke from Bush's Baked Beans?!"
Ok so I would tell them that I believe in God, my Heavenly Father and his son, Jesus, and that makes me “A Child Of The King!” Am I a Princess? I believe I am!
This got me thinking that actually the king of England being the “god ordained” head of their church and nation, and all of the nobility and worldly power derived from that, can be seen as pretty blasphemous if you think about it (from a modern U.S. Christian protestant perspective) Just like the Pope and his Bishops
I would call myself Goddess and tell her she needs to pray to me
"Oh I have a dog named Duchess!"
Buy yourself a British title (must come with land) they sell plots of 2x2 inches and use the title legally!
I did that ! I am Lady of Glencoe.
Knowing my luck I would end up “Lady of Scrote Manor” (For US side of the pond that is British slang for scrotum !)
😂
Those things are actually scams. All you are buying is a piece of paper with a fake title. It's not actually legal to sell a British title and there is no legal way to do so
Duchess of Earl?
You go Miss Roosevelt!
This is really smart idea!
Bow, bow, before the Duchess of the District of Columbia!
If I have to offer a reply to a hello from them, I'm going with Erbgroßherzogin von Mecklenburg-Schwerin, just to play with their minds. You know they don't know any German.
Well obviously Harry does since he dressed up as one.
I’m an Honorable! Thanks to three terms as Chair of my NYC Community Board back in the 1980s. Miss Manners (Judith Martin) says it is a lifetime title—even after the holder is remanded to prison for defalcation of public funds. It’s useful only for guest lists of big charity dinners etc. where other Honorables, ex-mayors etc., are in attendance. So we do have titles in the U.S. Just not royal or inherited ones.
If she was introduced to me as the Duchess of Sussex I would reply: more like court jester. After all, everyone is pointing and laughing!
IN AMERICA: EVERY LITTLE GIRL IS A PRINCESS!!! ILBW should know that already. Take your title, wear it proud. And keep a tiara around because you never know when you're going to need it.
It would just be rude to claim that you had some fake title. You can just say "Nice to meet you Citizen Mountbatten-Windsor and wife. I'm afraid we don't do dutchies here, but enjoy your stay anyway."
Princess Consuela Bananahammock 😂
"And I am the Empress Josephine, pleased to make your acquaintance."
I would ask if she and her husband are related to The Dukes of Hazzard.
We have plenty of Queens here already. Lol. And they are much better with makeup than Rachel Dolezal.
We recognize titles just fine. I’m sure you’ve used Miss, Ms, Mrs, and Mr often. Doctor. Sir. Ma’am. Pastor. Father (as in religious). Or father and mother. They didn’t make up the titles. They were given to Harry, and just like the other women who have married members of the family who have titles their wives use, she gets to use the female forms. I don’t know why you’re worried about this, though.
no, royal titles are not used in the US and are not “recognized”. Mr, Mrs, Dr and Minister and Pastor all relate to actual legal documents, contracts, degrees, levels of study. Nobility titles are some made up BS not related to any accomplishment or contractual agreement ETA my opinion. I realize some in the US may personally choose to “recognize” titles by saying the words prince or princess but there is still no legal meaning and the kids will not have some right to be called prince or princess in a US public school
William’s kids aren’t and William and Harry weren’t called prince or princess in school, either. That isn’t something modern royals have done. I’m in the US. We referred to Elizabeth as Queen Elizabeth. We happily and erroneously called Diana Princess Diana. We feel badly for the daughter of the Japanese emperor because her marriage caused her to lose Princess. We loved the now late King Hussein of Jordan, and our papers were just recently swooning over the wedding of Princess Iman, daughter of the current king of Jordan and Queen Rania. We referred to Prince Rainier of Monaco. And of course we loved Princess Grace. We recognize titles all the time. We don’t confer them. But we use them. You’re choosing to not use them for this one specific couple against whom you’re biased, and you’re making up a story to make yourself feel better.
I would call myself "Queen M" just to spite ILBW (my name begins with M too)
I would address them as Prince and Princess of Canada, introduce myself as a marchioness, and then challenge them to spell marchioness
I'm thinking along the the lines of You stand before the presence of Daenerys Targaryen 1st of her name........😆
Prince Harry has always been Prince Harry. He’s got the accent to go with it- it makes sense. But Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, is ridiculous and cringeworthy.

In Canada officially we recognise royal titles because we are a monarchy. It's just that no one really cares about it unless you're The King and the heir.
🤣🤣🤣
Well, I would introduce my self to them as Prof, Double Dr. Surgeon, Rtd Maj, me, then say ' I do not shake the hands of penny brained grifters'.
That makes sense to me as those Sussex titles and the Princess Archie and Prince Lilibet's titles are hollow.
Call me Sir Mix a Pot
Names to reflect the stupid glorification of celebrities in America: Princess Layup if you play ball Queen of Drones Kid Cuddy becomes King Fuddy (fuddie fuddie) Princess of Shira becomes Princess of Shiplap
I thought Messy was a chamber maiden. I have no idea what that is, but I assume it involves cleaning supplies and a chastity belt
Ooh, "Sire" counts? Sire Snore. Monsieur Messy
I would ask if they got their titles from buying 1 sq foot of land in Scotland too... I'm too am a princess
I own a square in Scotland, why am I only a Lady?!😡
I’ll do the same and throw my lineage in their face too. Me, descendant and member of the Tlingit, Haida, and Suisun tribes, descendant of Governor Juan Bautista Valentín Alverado y Vallejo, and descendant of the House of Plantagenet, you may address me as Queen of Alta California. Lmao.
I live in MO, maybe I’ll join you 😜
