Meghan Markle is not receptive to the idea of Prince Harry dumping his royal title, according to a royal commentator.
According to US journalist Lee Cohen, the Duchess of Sussex is concerned about the ramifications such an action could entail.
The couple sparked outrage last week after unveiling a revamped website using their regal titles.
Sussex.com replaced their former website, archewell.com, promising to bring more personal updates about Harry and Meghan’s activities.

The couple moved away from the Sussex title in 2020 when they stepped back from royal duties, raising questions about the motives behind their apparent change of heart.
Speaking on GBN America, Cohen told Nana Akua that Meghan is unlikely to want to risk losing the title as it “affects her own status”.

He said that Harry gaining US citizenship could put his Sussex title in jeopardy.
“I think that Harry will likely never pursue US citizenship”, he said.
“Even though he expressed in the Good Morning America interview that this thought has crossed his mind.
“Meghan was US born and able to accept her title through marriage, but the title conflict arises if one elects to go through the process of US citizenship application.
“Why would he jeopardise the only status? None of that makes Harry and his wife relevant and interesting.
“I don’t think that Meghan will let him do that in case it affects her own status.”
Harry spoke out last week on his father’s cancer diagnosis in an interview aired on ABC’s Good Morning America, where he suggested a royal reconciliation could be in the offing.
In the interview, it was suggested a family illness could have a “re-unifying effect”, and when Harry was asked “is that possible in this case?” he replied: “Yeah, I’m sure”.
Buckingham Palace has not given details about Charles’s cancer and Harry declined to divulge any information when asked about his “outlook” on the King’s health, replying “that stays between me and him”.
But he said he would be visiting his father in the future: “I’ve got other trips planned that would take me through the UK or back to the UK, so I’ll stop in and see my family as much as I can.”
