Artwork is imitating life on “1923.”
The most recent episode of Taylor Sheridan’s “Yellowstone” prequel featured a scene with Julia Schlaepfer’s Alexandra that has a well timed connection to Meghan Markle altering her final title to Sussex.
Alexandra arrives in America at Ellis Island and when a customs officer asks for her title, she replies, “Alexandra Sussex.”
“Is Sussex your last name?” the customs officer asks.
“Sussex is the region where my family is from,” Alexandra explains.
However her response doesn’t fulfill the shoppers officer, who tells Alexandra, “I didn’t ask where you were from, I asked your last name.”
Alexandra then says that her final title is “Dutton.”
Within the first season of the Western drama collection, Alexandra was engaged to Arthur, the Earl of Sussex (Bruce Davison), who’s partly impressed by Prince Arthur of Connaught.
“1923” viewers known as out the Sussex scene and famous its ironic relevance on social media.
“Alex in 1923 calling herself ‘Sussex’ is really the cherry on top of this week,” one fan wrote on X.
“Alexandra of Sussex… Dutton, I mean. Dutton through and through. That Ellis Island scene was [fire emoji],” one other viewer stated.
Markle’s final title has been a sizzling matter on-line following her cringy dialog with Mindy Kaling on Netflix’s “With Love, Meghan.”
“It’s so funny that you keep saying ‘Meghan Markle.’ You know I’m Sussex now,” the previous actress advised Kaling, 45.
Markle added, “You have kids and you go, ‘No, I share my name with my children. I didn’t know how meaningful that would be to me, but it just means so much to go, this is our family name, our little family name.’”
Markle technically turned “Meghan Sussex,” and Harry turned “Harry Sussex,” after their royal wedding ceremony in 2018. They acquired the Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles from the late Queen Elizabeth II as a marriage current.
When the couple left the royal household in 2020 and moved to the US, the queen allow them to preserve their Sussex titles.
In the meantime, their kids had been made Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex, following the demise of Queen Elizabeth and the ascension of Harry’s father, King Charles III, owing to royal guidelines which entitle the grandchildren of a sovereign to change into prince or princesses of the realm.
In a latest interview with Folks, Markle spoke concerning the significance of her “Sussex” title and final title.
“It’s our shared name as a family, and I guess I hadn’t recognized how meaningful that would be to me until we had children,” she stated, including, “I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H and I all have together. It means a lot to me.”
The “Suits” alum gushed that the Sussex title “is part of our love story,” including, “I think as the kids get older, they’re so excited about, ‘Oh my gosh, Mama and Papa, how did you meet?’ I think that will come with time as they get older, but for right now a huge part of our love story is that we share the name Sussex.”
