She’s married to a royal, but she is not a royal.

When the Duke and Duchess of Sussex withdrew from royal duties they gave up using the Style of “Royal Highness” which had been granted by The Queen. Legally they can use, it but they voluntarily stopped using it, but could again if they resumed public duties.

They are still members of the Royal Family as are their children.

The title of Duke of Sussex (and subsidiary titles) can only be withdrawn by Act of Parliament and the last time it happened was World War I.

“how dare the f’n “Royals” interfere with the US....”

Meghan Markle is not “Royal”. She is a cheesy cable t.v. actress and game show model who fancies herself an influential and important person.

“Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex”?"

I thought the Queen told them to get the hell out of town, and don't come back.. Or something to that effect.. Well, an exaggeration maybe but.....

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) had apparently given Meghan the numbers to the U.S senators.

Silly Gilly the airhead doesn't know that giving out private cell numbers is WRONG.

Megyhan Markle is not the Duchess of Sussex. They both abandoned their titles and engaged in enfeofment of their royal lands and are now known as Harry and Meghan Windsor.

As far as calling GOP Senators, I would simple ask if she were calling on Behalf of the Queen or calling as a US citizen.

That should shorten her fuse.
