Harry, Markle will be the Duke- Duchess of Sussex?

London: According to royal sources, Meghan Markle is expected to become the Duchess of Sussex when she weds Prince Harry. The American actess will become a fully fledged member of the royal family – with an HRH title to match.

As per traditions, royal men receive a title on the morning of their wedding – with Harry looking set to become the Duke of Sussex. Prince Harry is expected to be given a dukedom by his grandmother, the Queen.

According to a story published in Mail Online, Genealogist Charles Kidd said he believed the Duke of Sussex would be chosen for Harry, meaning Meghan would become Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.

Speaking about it, he said, “They’re quite limited in the titles that are available. The Duke of Sussex is the front- runner without any doubt.”

According to him Clarence hasn’t been used for a long time and it’s been sort of tainted by bad luck. He said, “One Duke of Clarence was the eldest son of Edward VII and there have been a lot of fairly salacious stories surrounding him. Another Duke of Clarence was executed for treason and allegedly drowned in a butt of Malmsey wine.”

He also added that ‘ Connaught, with its links to the Republic of Ireland, might not be suitable at the moment.

The dukedoms of Cumberland, Albany and Teviotdale are all suspended, meaning there could be claims to those titles.’

Windsor – last used by the abdicated Edward VIII – is likely to be off the table.

Interistingly, Wallis Simpson – the last Duchess of Windsor, who sparked the abdication crisis of 1936 – was, like Meghan, an American divorcee. Other options could include Avondale and Kendal.

Previously used titles that are available to Prince Harry are Connaught, Albany, Cumberland, Ross, Kintyre, Kendal, Sussex and Clarence.
