How Meghan Markle insists on being addressed is revealed by new Invictus Games CEO
The newly appointed CEO of the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 has revealed how he was told to address Meghan Markle ahead of their first meeting earlier this year.
Scott Moore, who landed the gig ahead of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s trip to Canada in February, received advice that strayed from the usual protocol for addressing former senior members of the royal family.
“I did make sure to ask how I should be addressing them when they get here,” Moore previously shared, via the Mirror.
Moore was informed that a simple “Ma’am” is fine. He was also told to address Prince Harry as “Sir.”
The guidance differed to how male members of the Firm are to be addressed upon first meeting. Typically, male royals are first addressed “Your Royal Highness,” followed by “Sir.”
Meanwhile, female members of the royal family are addressed as “Your Royal Highness,” followed by “Ma’am.”
However, the Sussexes sensationally quit royal life in 2020 and moved to the US. The move prompted them to lose their HRH titles.
