In case you missed it, Meghan Markle launched a new website on Shop My—and its URL doubles down on her decision to go by Meghan Sussex, the surname she shares with husband Prince Harry and kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
In episode 2 of Meghan’s eight-part Netflix series With Love, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex corrected friend Mindy Kaling when Kaling referred to her as Meghan Markle, reminding her that her last name was Sussex now. (The moment became one of the most viral of season 1 of the series, which dropped on March 4.) The URL for Meghan’s new site is shopmy.us/ms—which no doubt stands for Meghan Sussex. (Eagle-eyed People noticed that shopmy.us/meghan was already taken, “although it doesn’t seem to be active,” the outlet reported.

Meghan refers to herself on the site as “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex,” just as she does on her Instagram that launched January 1; that handle is @meghan.
Meghan’s ShopMy site features some of her favorite fashion finds, including pieces from brands like Veronica Beard, J. Crew, Reformation, Gap, Anine Bing, and Jenni Kayne, which she shouted out in the same episode of With Love, Meghan alongside Kaling.
As for the Sussex surname, the late Queen Elizabeth gave Harry and Meghan the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex upon their May 2018 wedding, and, while Archie and Lilibet originally went by the traditionally British royal surname “Mountbatten-Windsor” when they were born, they now go by Sussex—as do Harry and Meghan, apparently.

“You have kids and you go, ‘No, I share my name with my children,’” Meghan told Kaling. “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.”
Speaking in a March 3 People cover story, Meghan elaborated that the Sussex surname was “part of our love story”: “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,” Meghan told the outlet. “I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H, and I all have together. It means a lot to me.”
