Companies House, which is the United Kingdom's official registrar of companies and a trading fund of Her Majesty's Government, mistakenly listed Meghan Markle as a Doctor on their website. This comes after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry filed applications to close down their Sussex Royal foundation. If the reports are to be believed, the mistake was recorded by staff from the executive agency.

Later, the royal couple was also requested to drop their HRH (His Royal Highness/ Her Royal Highness) titles, before their move to Canada and Los Angeles thereafter, after the executives noticed that Meghan was previously named ‘HRH The Duchess of Sussex’ on the government's official site. A report published by a leading news daily suggests that it was the Queen's decision that Harry and Meghan can no longer use the word 'royal' in their 'branding'.

Reportedly, Meghan graduated from Northwestern University with a bachelor's degree and a double major in theatre and international studies in the year 2003.
