Meghan Markle<\/a><\/strong> and Prince Harry<\/a><\/strong> reportedly aren\u2019t taking Oprah Winfrey\u2019s recent joke on their royal title all too well. The former talk show host recently put a fun spin on the couple\u2019s \u201cSussex\u201d last name during her appearance on Kelly Ripa\u2019s \u201cLet\u2019s Talk Off Camera\u201d podcast. An insider exclusively told Rob Shuter\u2019s #ShuterScoop that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are \u201cstung\u201d by their friend\u2019s joke. According to other sources, the pair\u2019s displeasure comes from the fact that Winfrey was a trusted confidante.<\/p>\n

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are \u2018sensitive\u2019 to anything that makes them sound like a \u2018meme,\u2019 says \u2018source\u2019<\/p>\n

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have allegedly taken offense at Oprah Winfrey\u2019s joke about their royal titles<\/a>. Speaking to host Kelly Ripa on her podcast<\/a>, the television producer talked about the potential of being gifted \u201cfuzzy chickens.\u201d Reflecting on what she would have done if presented with such a gift, Winfrey revealed that she would have taken the chicks to the royal couple.<\/p>\n

However, while referring to Prince Harry and his wife, the former talk show host called them \u201cSussexes,\u201d adding a few \u201cxes\u201d to the royal title. This happened not once but twice throughout her conversation with Ripa. Winfrey then proceeded to discuss an incident involving the couple and a mother duck and her baby chicks.<\/p>\n

However, Winfrey\u2019s joke seemingly didn\u2019t sit well with Prince Harry and Markle, insiders claimed. A Hollywood source told Rob Shuter<\/a> that while she \u201cmeant no harm,\u201d the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are \u201csensitive\u201d to things that \u201cmakes them sound like a meme.\u201d The \u201cstung\u201d royal couple isn\u2019t too happy about the joke, given that Winfrey was a \u201ctrusted media ally.\u201d<\/p>\n

The insider continued, \u201cLet\u2019s just say\u2026 the Sussexes probably aren\u2019t clucking with joy.\u201d According to a royal watcher, Prince Harry and Markle understand the weight of Winfrey\u2019s words, which only complicates the situation further.<\/p>\n

The royal couple\u2019s title became a point of conversation between Markle and Mindy Kaling when the latter appeared on the Netflix show, \u201cWith Love, Meghan.\u201d The former actor corrected the guest, referring to her as \u201cMeghan Markle\u201d during the show. She emphasized the importance that \u201cSussex\u201d holds within their family.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex\u2019s bond with Winfrey goes back a long way. The couple conducted their first interview with the former host in 2021 since stepping down from their royal duties. The author also attended the pair\u2019s wedding in 2018.<\/p>\n
