The incendiary comments were made by commentator Neil Sean who lambasted Meghan Markle after she introduced herself as the Duchess of Sussex on a YouTube channel for childrens' stories where she read from her picture book The Bench.

       In the video, filmed for Brightly Storytime, the Duchess says: "Hi and welcome to Brightly Storytime! I am Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and today I am going to read to you my book called The Bench!”

       She precedes to read the book which is only 169 words long.

       And at the end of the clip, the Duchess of Sussex can be seen closing the book, explaining: "I hope you enjoyed The Bench, I loved being able to share it with you."

       She adds: “And now I hope you're able to go and find your own special bench, or chair, or little quiet nook.

       "Just a place that means something to you that you can share with someone you love.”

       But the comments sparked a frustrated backlash from royal expert Mr Sean who speculated as to why the Duchess introduced herself in such a way.

       He slammed: “This of course is a woman who claims that, as ever, titles mean nothing."

       Then a scathing takedown Mr Sean went on to claim that "without that title" the Duchess of Sussex's publishers, Penguin Random House, would "simply not have signed her".
