The Duchess of Sussex met with Harper\u2019s Bazaar\u2019s Kaitlyn Greenidge for an interview at one of her pals\u2019 homes in New York.<\/p>\n<p>The interview was conducted for the US magazine\u2019s December 2025 issue, which features the Duchess on its cover. Ms Greenidge wrote of their encounter: \u201cWe\u2019re in a grand brownstone on the Upper East Side that belongs to one of Meghan\u2019s friends. When I enter, the house manager announces, \u2018Meghan, Duchess of Sussex,\u2019 even though we appear to be the only other two people in the house.\u201d But despite Meghan <a target=\"_blank\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/royal\/2136905\/meghan-markle-title-annoucement-protocol\" target=\"_blank\">still retaining her royal title<\/a> even after quitting the Royal Family five years ago, fans were not impressed with its use and were quite critical on social media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Now, a royal commentator spoke about the incident and mocked Meghan for \u201ccosplaying a duchess in someone\u2019s living room\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Lee Cohen, a US-based columnist\/royal and foreign policy commentator, told the Express: \u201cThis is so cringeworthy that it could be another South Park episode.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s the kind of tone-deaf, ego-stroking nonsense that makes you wonder if she&#8217;s auditioning for a role in her own bad fantasy fiction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA borrowed Upper East Side brownstone, and the only &#8216;crowd&#8217; is a bemused journalist from Harper&#8217;s Bazaar. Yet here comes the house manager, piping up like a Buckingham Palace footman: &#8220;Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.&#8221; To a couple of people&#8230; Not a ballroom full of dignitaries. Was she trying to turn a casual chat into a full-blown state entrance?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Cohen added: \u201cMarkle&#8217;s out here cosplaying a duchess in someone&#8217;s living room, pathetically clinging to that &#8216;Duchess of Sussex&#8217; label like it&#8217;s her last Birkin, a slap to the beloved late Queen&#8217;s memory. <strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cLaughter is the kindest reaction to such swivel-eyed behaviour. If she wanted to be announced like royalty, she had already burned down the stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cNext time, try a doorbell. The crowd and crowns aren&#8217;t coming back; it&#8217;s just embarrassing echoes in an empty room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another expert said the Duchess\u2019s announcement broke protocol because it should have been the journalist who was announced and not the other way around.<\/p>\n<p>Veteran royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, who is also an etiquette expert and former editor of The International Who&#8217;s Who, told the Daily Mail: \u201cI have often felt that Meghan took to heart Oscar Wilde&#8217;s dictum, &#8216;To love oneself is the beginning of a lifetime&#8217;s romance&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo this breaks protocol.
