Royal Family's Icy Nicknames for Harry & Meghan Revealed
3 Apr
Summary
- Palace courtiers reportedly refer to Harry and Meghan indirectly.
- Nicknames used by security included 'David Stevens' and 'Davina Scott'.
- Meghan and Harry use each other's first initials as pet names.
Members of the royal family reportedly use subtle, indirect references when discussing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who officially stepped back from royal duties in 2020. According to author Craig Brown's book, 'A Voyage Around the Queen,' courtiers may refer to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as 'persons who live overseas' to avoid direct mention.
Brandreth shared that court circles tend to 'flinch almost imperceptibly' when the Sussexes' names arise, often changing the subject or offering a brief 'We wish them all the best.' This contrasts with earlier periods when security personnel reportedly used affectionate codenames for the couple, such as 'David Stevens' and 'Davina Scott.'
In their personal lives, Meghan and Harry have adopted a more intimate form of endearment. Meghan revealed on 'The Jamie Kern Lima Show' podcast that they affectionately call each other by their first initials, a practice that started when they were first dating and needed to keep their relationship private. This sweet tradition has persisted throughout their marriage.
