(AFP) Prince Harry and his bride Meghan Markle will be known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after their wedding on Saturday, Buckingham Palace announced just hours before the ceremony. The Queen has today been pleased to confer a dukedom on Prince Henry of Wales. His titles will be Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel, it said in a statement.
Prince Harry thus becomes His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex, and Ms. Meghan Markle on marriage will become Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.
A dukedom is the highest rank in the British peerage. It is traditional to give royal sons titles reflecting the three historic realms England, Scotland and Ireland that made up the United Kingdom.
Hours before his wedding in 2011, Prince William, Harrys brother and best man, became the Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus.
Sussex is a historic county on the southeast English coast, with a population of around 1.6 million. The name derives from the South Saxons. Its main city is the hip seaside resort city of Brighton.

Do we have an over/under on how long until she drops her first anchor baby?
Entenmanns? They have a case at the end of the aisle!
Sure makes me scratch my head how some of them choose.
But hey......
Her Highness The Duchess of Sussex, Elizondo, Mountain Dew, Herbert and Camacho.
Hope it’s been in a warm, poorly-ventilated English basement!
I wager, that Prince Garbles AMD his Horse faced wife are irked. The next wearer of the Crown has just been designated I think.
Can someone confirm what the sign someone in the crowd along the carriage route says? It is at the beginning of the ride as the carriage passed stores. On the left of the tv screen. Big white with black handwritten letters that appears to say, “I married a gringo too”. Couldn’t ever catch the last letter O in gringo but don’t know what else it could say. Very strange. Anyone?
Colin Kaepernick is single so maybe she missed that opportunity?
Neither is likely a stranger to her.
She is black but white enough to be a local news anchor in the US.
Well put!
You reversed Ireland and Scotland - white diagonal on blue is Scotland/Andrew, red diagonal on white is Ireland/Patrick.
OOopppss....should have looked it up....
Dang, why does Notre Dame wear blue?
The story about blue and gold making green seems a little lame.
I think the sign said something like
“I married a ginger too...”
More like racial appropriation.
It’s amazing no one in the media mentions this proud biracial woman’s nose job. Everyone blathered on about her embracing her black roots when in reality she wanted a white nose.
All day long FAKE NEWS!
As they run out of Dukedoms, the competitors will have to duke it out to gain a title.
