Dr. Carole Lieberman has labeled the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as "desperate" following the revelation that their children's surname has been changed to Sussex, instead of Mountbatten-Windsors, since King Charles's Coronation in May 2023.
According to Lieberman, the alteration reflects the couple's desperation for relevance and popularity, particularly as they transition away from their royal roles and settle in the United States. Lieberman emphasized Meghan's perceived miscalculation of their popularity and her attempts to leverage their royal titles without fulfilling corresponding duties.
In an interview with GBN America, Lieberman suggested that Meghan's ambitions for continued fame and presence in the media might be driving the couple's actions. She highlighted Meghan's overt displays of affection toward Harry and her apparent dependence on him, interpreting it as symbolic of her need for royal status.
Sussex.com has replaced their former website, Archewell.com, with promises of more personal updates about Harry and Meghan's lives and work. The couple's children also go by their royal titles at school: George, Charlotte, and Louis Cambridge.
Having relinquished their roles as senior royals in January 2020 and relocated to the US, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have engaged in various interviews criticizing the Royal Family. Prince Harry released a memoir titled "Spare" where he denounced royal life. Despite their efforts, Lieberman speculates that their pursuit of fame might be waning.
