Meghan Markle reveals her 'nickname' for Prince Harry and the story behind it

The soft launch now seems like a hardcore one! The return to the limelight has already taken place. Meghan is all over the place now!

From coming up with her lifestyle series, launching her own brand, introducing her podcast, to appearing on other podcasts – Meghan is doing it all! On top of that, the ‘Suits’ alum is taking her husband, Prince Harry , along for the ride too!

A while ago, when a leisurely suited Meghan (who very much meant business) showed up at NYC for an important event, Prince Harry was seen accompanying her and cheering for his dear wife from the fences! No wonder Meghan is grateful for a ‘supportive’ husband and partner!


Although the senior royal couple is popular as ‘Prince Harry and Meghan’ on the internet, and now being known as ‘The Sussex’ (thanks to the clarification given by Meghan herself on her show With Love, Meghan), turns out, like every other couple, they have their very own nicknames for themselves!


What’s in the nickname!

Meghan recently joined IT Cosmetics co-founder Jamie Kern Lima for her first-ever podcast interview, where she opened up about her life with Prince Harry and their kids now, as she navigates her way into becoming a successful businesswoman with her various lifestyle and wellness endeavors.

Since the Megxit in early 2020, when Meghan and Prince Harry stepped down as Senior Royals, the couple has relocated to Montecito, California, where they now reside with their kids. After they departed from the British Royal Family, the couple has been able to become more open and unrestricted in their demeanor. However, Meghan revealed that it wasn’t like this even when she was dating Prince Harry. If anything, the Duchess of Sussex shared that they used code names for each other – the ones have now become nicknames!

Looking back on the beginning of her and Prince Harry’s romance — when “everything was in code” — Meghan revealed, “People didn’t know we were dating.”

She explained to “Jamie Kern Lima Show” listeners. “I couldn’t tell anyone who I was dating, so we were just on a letter basis.”

Meghan shared that’s how they picked their initials, M and H, for each other.

The days of secrecy and codes are gone, but the names remain.

Not only do the royals still refer to each other as ‘M’ and ‘H’, but Meghan revealed that their “close friends and family” do, too.

Meghan Noted, “It stuck,” adding, “I like it. I like nicknames a lot. I love nicknames.”
