How very dare she!?
It seems Meghan Markle has upset her haters once again.
This time, it's because she appears to have gone back on a promise she made to the late Queen Elizabeth II of England.
It's all to do with the use of the title 'Her Royal Highness'.
"She's actually issued a denial now, saying she isn't still using her HRH title."
Vicky Turner, UK correspondent
Both Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry said they would no longer use their HRH titles when they made the decision to step away from the British royal family in 2020.
Despite her denials, video from a podcast series suggests she does still use the title.
"She gave the Jamie Kern Lima Show podcast a gift basket that was sent by her with a card that said, with compliments of HRH, the Duchess of Sussex."
Vicky Turner, UK correspondent
Turner says although no laws were passed banning the Montecito-based couple from using the title, it was an agreement made with Harry's later grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II before she died.
