Meghan Markle’s life has always been a matter of curiosity for many people, and with the addition of the Prince Harry, it has only grown stronger. One particular incident before their marriage has caught the attention of fans when Meghan revealed her real name during an interview on The Rachel Ray Show.

The host of the show, Rachel Ray, brought up the fact that Meghan’s character in the TV show Suits had the same name as her. “The character’s name is Rachel, which is great,” said Ray.

To which Meghan replied, “Did you know my first name is Rachel in real life? Did you know that?” The host was surprised and said, “I had no idea,” but unfortunately, she interrupted Meghan just as she was about to reveal something interesting about her name.

Fans of the Duchess were left irritated by the clip because the interviewer did not give Meghan a chance to finish her thought. “Meghan was just about to explain why she’s known by Meghan and not Rachel… ‘My parents…’ but this overbearing host just interrupted. Poor interviewing skills,” wrote one fan on social media.

Another fan expressed disappointment and said: “Oh, my days! I really wanted to hear what she was going to say about her parents and her name.” It appears that Meghan never got a chance to explain the story behind why she uses her middle name publicly, and the mystery remains unsolved.

What’s the reason behind her name decision?

According to reports, Meghan used the name since her college days, although Meghan seems to suggest her parents called her something other than “Rachel” before she’s cut off by the host. It has been theorized that Meghan went by her middle name because “Rachel” and “Markle” have a weak rhyme, but this has never been confirmed.

In typical royal style, Prince Harry has a very long name with many middle names. His real given name is Prince Henry Charles Albert David. Since Harry and Meghan both stepped back from their royal roles, neither has been permitted to use the HRH style.

The birth certificate of her son Archie revealed her full name as “Rachel Meghan Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.” However, the story behind why she uses her middle name remains a mystery.
