Hidden detail in Meghan Markle's new website hints that her name change will be lasting a while

The Duchess has been using a secret surname - the same as husband Prince Harry and their two children - for some time now

It would seem that the Duchess of Sussex is dead set on keeping her new surname.

Just weeks after revealing she's been going by a secret Royal moniker behind the scenes for several years now, fans of Meghan Markle have come across a feature of her new shopping site that hints she's planning on keeping it long-term.

For those in need of a reminder, the 43-year-old has been known by the public as 'Meghan Markle' ever since sky-rocketing into the spotlight on the hit legal drama Suits in 2011.

This in itself is pretty odd - considering the actress' birth name is actually 'Rachel', the same as her on-screen character. But, we move.

Meghan also revealed recently that she made the decision to ditch the surname Markle, and has been going by a different title since she and Prince Harry tied the knot back in 2018.

Speaking to PEOPLE Magazine earlier this month, she broke the news that she, her husband, their five-year-old son Archie and three-year-old daughter Lilibet have all been using 'Sussex' as their official surname for a while.

The Duchess explained that the name was bestowed on she and Harry by his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, on their wedding day, before being passed down to their children.

"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," she told the publication. "I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H and I all have together."

And as we say, it looks as though the Duchess plans on using Sussex professionally going forward - even incorporating her new initials into her new shopping website, 'As Ever'.

The social media venture - which serves as an online shop selling 'handpicked and curated collection of the things I love' - sees Meghan's initials listed as 'MS', as opposed to her usual, 'MM'.

In fact, the full URL for the site reads 'shopmy.us/ms'.

On her new self-fronted Netflix series With Love, Meghan - which was released days after the mother-of-two told PEOPLE of her name change - she also reiterated the title of 'Sussex'.

Hosting celebrity gal pal Mindy Kaling on the show, The Office actress referred to Meghan as a 'Markle' whilst discussing fast-food takeaways.

"I don't think anyone in the world knows that Meghan Markle has eaten Jack In The Box and loves it," Khaling laughed.

Meghan, in turn, replied: "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'.

She added: "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'."
