Meghan Markle forced to correct Mindy Kaling for calling her ‘wrong’ name as she reveals she and kids have new surname
Meghan Markle was forced to correct Mindy Kaling after she called her by the 'wrong' name on her new Netflix show.
The 43-year-old Duchess of Sussex, who shares Archie, five, and three-year-old Lilibet, with her husband Prince Harry, has opened up about her family life as her brand-new lifestyle series titled With Love, Meghan drops on Netflix today (4 March).
In episode two of her new show, Meghan is joined by her friend Mindy.

The pair are discussing their favourite fast food when Meghan explains that as a child, she grew up on a lot of takeouts.
"I don't think anyone in the world knows that Meghan Markle has eaten Jack In The Box and loves it," said Mindy.
But Meghan changed the subject, explaining that she found it 'funny' that Mindy called her 'Meghan Markle'.
"It's so funny you keep saying Meghan Markle, you know I'm Sussex now.
"You have kids and you go 'No, I share my name with my children'.
"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'."
In response, Mindy said: "Well, now I know and I love it."
The late Queen Elizabeth bestowed the Sussex title upon Prince Harry and Meghan for their wedding back in 2018.
In a recent interview with People, Meghan explained the significance of the name further.
"It’s our shared name as a family, and I guess I hadn’t recognised how meaningful that would be to me until we had children," Meghan shared.
"I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H and I all have together. It means a lot to me."
She added that the Sussex name is 'part of our love story'.
Opening up some more about her journey in motherhood, Meghan continued: "When your children get to a certain age - when you’re not just playing in the sandbox with them but almost playing in your own sandbox again - it’s super joyful.
"As a woman, a mom and a wife, to be able to find yourself again - in a way that was always present but that you maybe couldn’t put as much attention on as you now can when your kids are a little bit older - is a wonderful feeling."
With Love, Meghan is currently available to stream on Netflix.
