While Meghan could go by her first name and be known as HRH Princess Henry of Wales there is a longstanding tradition of royals going by middle names or shortened versions of their names much like Prince Harry himself, whose official title is Prince Henry of Wales. Other royals known to have changed their names include Queen Victoria, who was christened Alexandra Victoria, King George VI, whose full name was Albert Frederick Arthur George and King Edward VII, who was known as Prince Albert before his succession to the throne.

Speaking about her relationship with Harry in an interview with Vanity Fair, Meghan said: "We're two people who are really happy and in love. We were very quietly dating for about six months before it became news, and I was working during that whole time, and the only thing that changed was people's perception. Nothing about me changed. I'm still the same person that I am, and I've never defined myself by my relationship." She added: "We're a couple, we're in love. I'm sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time."
