Another added: “Omg she has people announcing her title when she walks into the room like she’s Queen Elizabeth. She is the definition of pretentious.”
A Literary Moment Noted by Royal Reporters
Veteran royal journalist Tom Sykes also weighed in on the now-viral moment, calling Greenidge’s inclusion of the detail a brilliant stylistic choice.
“It is a masterfully delivered moment of satire,” he wrote on The Royalist Substack.
“Greenidge doesn’t have to comment; the absurdity speaks for itself. The acerbic observation contrasts neatly how Meghan wants the world to see her with how she actually appears.”

Another Formal Introduction in Los Angeles
Greenidge added that a similar scene unfolded during their first encounter in Los Angeles.
“A golf cart pulls up, the gravel crunching beneath its tires. ‘The Duchess of Sussex,’ someone in the scrum announces. Meghan descends, dressed in wide-leg trousers, a silk blouse, and a small pair of pavé-diamond studs by the Ukrainian brand Guzema,” she wrote.
The two later visited the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where Meghan paused mid-conversation to take a photo of her reflection in the foam of her cappuccino—an image showing her and Harry during their 2019 South Africa tour.
“It’s a lovely and absurd perk of celebrity, and Meghan is tickled enough to take a photo of it.”
Greenidge noted that Meghan appeared “remarkably at ease” with the “surrealism of global celebrity,” adding: “in fact, she seems to enjoy it.”
Commentators React
Sky News Australia’s Rita Panahi and Kinsey Schofield, host of Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, were similarly stunned.
“People have to announce her official royal titles?! Let’s not forget she walked away from her official royal duties, so she’s got those titles without any sort of work—and yet she uses them to that extent? I doubt Prince William would be using them to that extent,” Panahi said.
Schofield agreed, saying that even Greenidge—whom she felt was “very generous to Meghan throughout the article”—seemed to find the moment strange.
“It is weird,” Panahi concluded.
