Fans have long speculated about Meghan Markle’s real first name, often used interchangeably with her middle name in public. It has now been confirmed that Meghan’s birth name is Rachel Meghan Markle. According to The Mirror, Meghan was originally named Rachel Meghan Markle, but she seldom uses her first name publicly. This was notably highlighted by Queen Elizabeth II in her official consent for Meghan’s marriage to Prince Harry, referring to her by her full name during the ceremony.
Reasons Behind Meghan’s Name Preference
The reasons behind Meghan Markle’s preference for using her middle name remain unclear. A recent revelation by a TikTok user who runs a Harry and Meghan fan site brought the name Rachel to public attention, sparking curiosity about why she avoids using her first name.
Challenges in Meghan and Harry’s Celebrity Circles
In related news, PR expert Ronn Torossian has analyzed the apparent cooling of Meghan and Prince Harry’s friendships with high-profile figures such as George Clooney and Victoria Beckham. Torossian noted that Meghan’s public gifting of her American Riviera Orchard Jams did not receive endorsements from some close friends like Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry. This absence of public support, combined with ongoing media scrutiny and public controversies, suggests a potential rift in their Hollywood circle.
The expert added that maintaining relationships with Harry and Meghan may be less appealing for some celebrities due to the negative media attention and the desire to avoid potential conflicts with the British Royal Family.
