Yesterday on our local BC news, both television and print, had the titles
"Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in Whistler for Invictus Games Training".
I was curious why they used that headline, rather than using their official titles. Then I questioned their actual titles and how they should be addressed. I googled it, but admit I'm still a bit confused. He is a prince by birth, but not using the title now, so should be addressed as a Duke?
Should the headline have read 'The Duke and Duchess of Sussex..." instead? Even CBC which is funded by government much like your BBC used "Prince Harry and Meghan..." which I thought was odd.
I wonder about the media's reasons for using such casual titles, and even using Meghan's maiden name when they've been married for 8 years.
