Fox News called Meghan “Princess Markle” as she visited an LA fire rescue site – 14 royally confused reactions
After an apocalyptically horrific week for Los Angeles, everyone is trying to pitch in to help as best they can.
That includes LA resident (and LA native) Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, who visited the World Central Kitchen in Pasadena on Friday to meet victims of the fire and those helping out.

However, a local affiliate of Fox News, who were covering the Meghan visit, got a little confused about the Duchess of Sussex’s title, and referred to her as “Princess Markle”. On top of that, the reporter added that the Sussexes were “hanging out with the commoners, I guess”.

How dare they call her Princess Markle? I just know she was loving it! What are they going to call her next, Princess of California? First it was Madam Duchess and now it’s Princess Markle. Why do we have to put up with them overshadowing our BRF? HMTK must remove all titles! pic.twitter.com/Ab0Pi4Gffy

Hearing “Princess Markle” on a professional news source outside of the United Kingdom is so good. Harry & Meghan put money where their mouth is and show action in times of need, despite all the negativity. Hate them or love them, you can’t say they aren’t making a difference. https://t.co/m5l4mQ9ncO
