When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the royal family, it posed many questions about what their future looked like but also what we should now refer to them as.

When the couple visited New York City's One World Observatory, they were greeted by press. One reporter was excited to speak to them both, and created a brand new name for Meghan.

He asked her, "Madam Duchess, are you enjoying your time in New York?"

Their official titles are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Usually working royal family members are called, "Your Royal Highness" before either Sir or Ma'am.

However, Harry and Meghan decided to stop using "Royal Highness" after stepping down.

Their three day New York tour marked their first public appearance since welcoming their daughter Lilibet in June. The couple also have son Archie, now two live in California in a £11 million mansion, which includes a paradise garden.

They spoke at Global Citizen Live event to encourage uptake of the Covid vaccine, and visited the World Health Organisation's head quarters.

Following their visit they released a statement. "Today’s meeting was a much-appreciated opportunity to learn from some of the most-respected experts who are working tirelessly to end this pandemic.

"Building on ongoing conversations we’ve had with global leaders over the past 18 months, today further reinforced our commitment to vaccine equity.

"We’re so encouraged by the spirit of collaboration we heard throughout our conversation and are eager to do our part."

The royal couple were driven around and guarded by the security detail, including a former NYPD officer who is singer Taylor’s head of security, according to the Daily Mail.

A man in his 50s simply known as Jimmy, who was seen keeping a watchful eye over Meghan and Harry during their trip, has dealt with stalkers and intruders who have managed to make their way into Taylor’s home in the past.

A second bodyguard spotted with the royal couple has been seen guarding the popstar in the past, including during her appearance at the 2019 VMAs.
