Ya'll I have been trying to say The Duchess of Sussex without tripping over my tongue for 10 minutes now.

That type of question is a waste of interview time imo, because after all, the answer is a given. Though Harry made a delightful witticism ('Not currently', or something like that), did I detect a slight annoyance? Slight? Understandable, because as the interviewee one is trapped into giving the rote answer. Annoying. Imagine if the interviewee proclaims 'Heck no, we despise children. They are okay on walk-abouts, but up-close-and-personal, no thank you!' ? Besides, Harry already answered that question years ago. It's on the record, he wants a family. Why ask?
I am starting to agree about Sussex. I liked it lots once but I'm now wondering if there is something else. However, what would be a real issue (for me) is the fact that the title name becomes the family name (ex: George Cambridge, Louise Wessex). That being the case, Sussex re-enters the list of contenders.
Am I correct that whatever title name then becomes Harry's family name down through the generations of his family? If that is the case, one needs to choose carefully.
Sussex is okay. Buckingham is interesting. Someone mentioned the Duke of Ross. I like that (we were watching Poldark this last weekend).

What about Exeter, Hereford or Kendal?

I notice that the media is quite sure that it will be Duke of Sussex. With William, there seemed to be three options being suggested. DM has been printing Sussex like its a given.
Do you recall the three?

Cambridge (as it had supposedly been considered for Edward), Sussex and Suffolk were the three main ones.
Clarence, Kendal and Connaught all were thrown out there as well.
Okay, then I've got it! Suffolk! Yes! That's the one! Now I can go to bed. All sorted.
P.S. Though I'm getting a sense that maybe Connaught is the one. It has a certain class and uniqueness.
Oh! I like Suffolk. It would be especially fitting if Harry and Meghan decide to have a country home near Sandringham as I believe Suffolk is actually in that geographical area.
But I'm wagering that they pick a house in the West Country. In the vicinity of Highgrove or thereabouts.
Is it Harry that will choose from a selection of names given to him by the Queen? Is that how it goes?

Yes, there's nothing stopping new titles from being created. The Queen could name Harry the Duke of Croydon if she wanted to.This was probably asked but: can a new title be created?
I mean the duke of Windsor title was a brand new when it was created, if I am not mistaken.

Its possible I suppose that the queen might give Harry an earldom, and then when Andrew passes away the DUke of York title would be vacant?
I doubt this would happen. The Duke of York is only 57, compared to the Duke of Edinburgh being 78 in 1999. And given the twelve year age difference between Charles and Andrew, there's a high likelihood that that wouldn't happen until Harry was the second son of the last king, and depending on what happens next spring (or after that?), William might have his own second son.
