Meghan explains the meaning behind the name Sussex

In the second episode, Meghan welcomesMindy Kalingas they talk about kids' parties, but the talk turns to their own childhoods.

“People wouldn’t believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box," Kaling says at one point, prompting Meghan to point out: “It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m Sussex now.”

Queen Elizabethbestowed the titles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry and Meghan for their 2018 wedding, and their children now use Sussex as their last name as well.

Meghan explains, “You have kids and you go, ‘No, I share my name with my children. I didn’t know how meaningful that would be to me, but it just means so much to go, this is our family name, our little family name.”

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the Duchess of Sussex further shares how the title now holds a deeper significance than she could have imagined before motherhood.

“It’s our shared name as a family, and I guess I hadn’t recognized how meaningful that would be to me until we had children,” she says. “I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H and I all have together. It means a lot to me.”

Meghan adds that it’s a “huge part of our love story is that we share the name Sussex.”

Harry’s brief appearance

While the couple’s 2022 Netflix docuseries, the record-breakingHarry & Meghan, famously lifted the veil on their struggles within the royal family, this time there’s no mention of anything royal.

Harry makes only a brief appearance in the final episode, but his influence is felt behind the scenes.

“Whenever Harry visited set, he was always super polite and friendly,” a crew member tells PEOPLE, “but it was clear he wanted this to be Meghan’s moment to shine.”

Meghan shares her “high-low” fashion approach

At another point in Kaling’s episode,The Officeactress asks Meghan about her “lewk” — and after some confusion, Kaling clarifies that the Duchess of Sussex’s fashion is “one of my favorite things.”

“Really cute,” Kaling praises.

Meghan refelcts on her time onSuits

Meghan confirmsSuitsran for seven years, just shy ofThe Office’s eight. “I’m on a series! This is all I want,” Meghan recalls.

Mindy adds, “Health insurance, steady paycheck.”

“Yes, consistency,” Meghan agrees.

Asked about relocating for the show, Meghan admits, “Okay, one season in Toronto — amazing. Two seasons — okay, is my life gonna be in this other place now?” But she embraced it: “Thankfully, I love Canada. And I always tried to invite the cast over or people I’d meet at the dog park — neighbors. I love making friends.”

“I’m not surprised that people are rediscoveringSuitsbecause it was so well written and so well produced,” she says. “It’s a time capsule for me — I still have the pencil skirt from the first episode! That’s the one thing I kept.”

Her family’s morning routine

Like many families, mornings are “fast” in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s California home.

“I wake up every morning and take a lot of pride in making breakfast for my family,” Meghan says. “Mornings are fast. Gotta get the kids to school.”

Meghan reveals that a popular breakfast staple is a favorite in their house.

“I find when I’m cooking bacon, my kitchen very immediately becomes full of husband and three dogs,” she quips.

“It’s not my perfume that’s bringing them all in it,” she adds before singing, “My bacon brings all the boys to the yard,” to the tune of Kelis' hit song “Milkshake.”

Apparently, Prince Harry also knows his way around the kitchen, with his wife praising him for making a “really good breakfast.”

Meghan recalls her first jobs

Before getting into the world of acting, the future Duchess of Sussex held a variety of jobs. Meghan reminisced on her old résumé at various points during the Netflix show, which included her first job at an ice cream shop called Humphrey Yogarts and a gig at a donut shop called Little Orbit Donuts.

While at college at Northwestern University, Meghan tried to earn some extra cash working at the coat check of a Chicago bar before they encouraged her to try waitressing.

She recalls, “The guy, it was really loud and he’s like, ‘Hey, can I get a [indistinct] martini?’ and I was like, ‘I don’t know what he’s saying.’  I was like, ‘I think he’s from Texas, and he asked me for a Cowboy Run martini,’ and they were like, ‘We don’t have that.’ So I went back and I was like, ‘We don’t have that.’ And he’s like,' What? you don’t have a Ketel One martini?' And I was like, ‘I don’t know.’ "

“And they’re like, ‘Let’s have you go back to being a coat check girl,’ " Meghan says.

Meghan reveals who got the first jar of jam

In 2024, the Duchess of Sussex gifted 50 friends with a jar of jam from her lifestyle brand (although it was originally called American Riviera Orchard, it wasrenamed to As everin 2025). As celebrities likeKris JennerandChrissy Teigenshared glimpses of their numbered jars on social media, many wondered who received the coveted No. 1 — and onWith Love,Meghan, the answer was unveiled to be her mother,Doria Ragland.

“People took it very personally, the hierarchy,” Meghan says on the series, adding, “Anyone who got them, I hope they felt like I wanted to share this with you.”

Meghan says her dog Guy has “stories to tell”

InWith Love, Meghan, she calls the pup her “shadow,” recapping how he’s been with her while working onSuitsin Canada, when she moved to the U.K. as her romance with Prince Harry progressed, when the couple relocated to Canada and as they eventually settled in California.

“Guy has a lot of stories to tell,” Meghan says.

She recalls living in Argentina

While hiking with her friend Delfina Blaquier — wife of polo player Nacho Figueras, one of Prince Harry’s close friends — Meghan reminisces about her time in Argentina, where she interned at the U.S. Embassy. (She double-majored in theater and international studies at Northwestern University.)

“I think the reason I loved living there so much is because it reminded me of California in a lot of ways — where you have the mountains and you have just this joy of life and the joy of being outside,” she says. “I was only there for a few months, interning at the U.S. embassy, but I loved it.”

After their hike, Blaquier tells Meghan: “I enjoyed this morning’s hike because I saw you being you and I love that. I love when you are doing your thing…I’m obsessed with that face of M. So happy.”

Her calming ritual

In another episode, Meghan prepares for a game night with friends Tracy Robbins, Victoria Jackson, and Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, sharing that they recently started learning mahjong together.

“My girlfriends are coming over, we have all started to learn mahjong together in the past few months…We play a version called American mahjong,” she says. “What I’ve come to really love about mahjong is that the game itself is really fun, but what was so great was the idea of learning something new with your friends, together.”

“And then recognizing that mahjong becomes the background of the expansion of friendship,” she adds. “It’s the feeling of community. It’s become special for all of us. We’re all at such different chapters in our lives. It’s amazing that it’s just as meaningful for me as it is for Victoria or Tracy or Jennifer. We all really like it.”

Meghan reveals her “love language”

On two occasions in the Netflix show, Meghan says that feeding people is her “love language.”

While showing Daniel Martin how to make a “single skillet spaghetti,” a recipe she calls a “family favorite,” her pal and makeup artist said, “You’ve always shown your love through food.”

Meghan replies, “It’s a big love language.”

She shares the same sentiment in episode six, titled “The Juice is Worth the Squeeze,” saying, “I love feeding people. I think it’s probably my love language.”

Meghan tells PEOPLE about her love of cooking, “Even before I was a mom, I loved being able to nurture in that way. Some of my favorite childhood moments are the meals that my mom would make. She’d make a lot of soul food. I remember she’d taken a Thai cooking class, so every week we had Thai BBQ chicken and spring rolls. I remember those flavors so well, and I want my kids to have those same formative memories of things that I cook. We call them Mama Meals, and those are the ones that I hope they come back to when they’re older, when they’re married, and they have their own kids, and they go, ‘Oh, let’s have a Mama Meal.’ And it’s the same roast chicken I’ve been making since they were little.”

Meghan reflects on the beauty of imperfection

The Duchess of Sussex becomes visibly emotional while discussing resilience and beauty in imperfection. Speaking with her friend Vicky Tsai, founder of the skincare brand Tatcha, Meghan shares: “If you break something that is precious and valuable, it’s not broken…that fracture actually makes it more beautiful.”

Vicky replies, “Or celebrated because it’s what makes you beautiful — perfect isn’t beautiful. “Things that have lived and been dropped and put back together again are more beautiful.”
