Meghan Markle has been accused of hypocrisy after praising Gloria Steinem's quote about being “linked, not ranked,” considering the fact that she still refers to herself as the Duchess of Sussex.

‘This coming from a woman who uses a title?'

Meghan Markle has been criticised on social media for continuing to use her royal title after arguing during an interview with feminist activist Gloria Steinem that everyone should be ‘linked not ranked.'

During her ‘backyard chat' with Gloria, 86, the 39-year-old Duchess of Sussex talked about her love of the feminist phrase, revealing that she even wears it on a bracelet given to her by the activist.

Many Twitter users, on the other hand, were swift to accuse Meghan of hypocrisy, asking how she might support inclusion in an interview in which she wanted to use her royal title.

‘If [she] is going to use a rank title, she should not spout off about being linked and ranked,' one user tweeted.

‘Meghan and Harry speak about “linked not ranked blah blah” but also keeping their titles, what a joke,' said another.

‘Linked not ranked?' said a third. Meghan's specialty is deep nonsense (woke). And then there are the lies. Is Steinem really unaware of how Markle arranged, schemed, and seduced an unattractive halfwit into marrying into the British Royal Family for prestige, wealth, and the chance to schmooze with hasbeens and hacks?'

A user tweeted, “I thought it insane that they talked about being “linked” rather than “ranked,  ‘This coming from Meghan who uses her Duchess title? I am so through with her .'

Meghan's written Q&A with Gloria, in which she expressed how important the ‘linked not ranked' quote is to her, was released by female empowerment forum Makers Women under the byline ‘Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex.'

‘I have no issue with Meghan encouraging people to vote (especially women),' they wrote, “but this “is linked, not ranked,” and “yet MAKERS put Meghan's tittle The Duchess of Sussex next to her name.”

‘Now, sweetie, why are you still sticking to your title if you really believe the establishment is archaic and anti-feminist? You don't deliver much without it,' says the narrator.

‘Women connected are not ranked,' another person answered. Definitely a dive. But you have to joke when it comes from Duchess Meghan.'

Palace sources dismiss Meghan Markle's concerns about Archie's title.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's allegations that their son Archie was denied the title of “prince” have been debunked by royal sources.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex told Oprah Winfrey last week that there were questions about Archie's skin color before he was born, and whether or not he should be granted protection and a title as a mixed-race prince.

Meghan's allegations were debunked by a royal official, who told Us Weekly: “It has nothing to do with race, according to the palace. Only those in the direct line of succession to the throne receive the titles of prince or princess, according to royal practice defined by King George V.”

“Archie would've been given a title when Prince Charles becomes monarch,” the source continued, adding that Archie would be given the title of prince after his grandfather Prince Charles took the throne.
