Residents have revealed how they think that Meghan Markle Sussex is taking her last name, even though she has only visited the province once.
They say that the Duchess must earn the right to use the name by doing something valuable in Sussex.
And they called on her to become a patron of a charity for children or get involved in a good cause.
Meghan's claim her last name was that Sussex came during the second episode of her Netflix Cookery Show, With Love, Meghan.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, corrected her famous friend Mindy Kaling when she said: “I don't think someone in the world knows that Meghan Markle Jack has eaten in the box and loves it.”
Meghan tried to mask her irritation with a forced smile and quickly corrected Kaling and said: 'It is also so funny that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I am Sussex now. '
Kaling, clearly overwhelmed by the correction, replied awkwardly: “Well, now I know and I love it.”
The couple was donated their titles such as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after them in 2018.
But they only visited the county to which they owe their titles once – for only six hours.

In October 2018, the newlyweds performed a Whistlestop tour through Sussex, where they visited Brighton, Chichester, Peacehaven and Bognor.
Although they are welcomed everywhere by ecstatic crowds they went, they never returned to the historic province.
Today, residents went to the Duchess for claiming the county as her last name.
Jeff Hall, 56, said: 'I am sure the Sussex title is very lucrative to have and, after being married in the royal family, she should be able to use.
'If she starts using it, I would like to see her a little more in the province. One visit in eight years is not really good enough. She should come more often to earn the right to use the name. '
His brother, Colin, who runs the fruits of Hall, said: 'If she claims the title, she should have more connection with the place.
'She should get involved in the charity of a children or make something else worthwhile in the province. Just accepting Sussex as a last name to use for your own purposes is cynical. '
Eleanor Feltham said: 'It's really ridiculous. She never even spent a night in Sussex. Certainly she can't be serious?
'Technically, she is not a sussex while she married Windsor's house, but her reaction is just so Hollywood. She seems to live in a pretty strange La La world. '
Colin Hall, who runs the fruits of Hall, said: “If she's going to claim the title, she should have more connection with the place”

Nigel Large, a market trader, said: 'I really don't care if she uses the name or not – I really don't care'
Bryan Jenkins, 72, who lives in Lewes, said: “She can call herself what she wants, but she seems to suggest that she has an affinity with Sussex, which is nonsense.
“She clearly wants to be as far away as possible from the royal family, so why she would like to claim that this title is quite strange.”
Nigel Large, a market trader, said: 'I really don't care if she uses the name or not – I really don't care.
'As far as I'm concerned, she can use everything she likes. It has just as much influence on things when someone in Australia changes his name. '
A student who gave her name as Josie, said: “I suppose she can claim the name if she wants to; She still retains the title, but I don't really know why she would like that.
'I think when they decided to leave the royal family, everything should have been stripped of them. It would prevent this kind of confusion. '
Her friend, etc. said: 'I think she has a difficult job. She married in an institution like an outsider and I don't think she will ever be able to fully understand traditions and protocols. '
Market Trader, Jon, 52, from Brighton said: 'I don't really know why people get so upset about her. If she wants to call herself, let Sussex be her. '
Shopper, Deena, 34, said: 'I am sure she uses her royal connections to be paid for millions by Netflix that I do not agree with at all.

'If she doesn't want to be part of the royals, don't be, but don't use it just to make money. It's not very nice. '
Felicity Roder from Storrington, West Sussex said: 'I think people have a valid point. You have to ask why she wants to use the name.
'Is it because in particular she has a deep affinity with Great Britain and Sussex? Or does it emphasize her British and royal connection and does it make her more tradable in America? I know where my money is, but she has the right to do it. '
Jessie Oaks, 32, said: 'She lives in a strange vacual Hollywood world, but I really don't care somehow. I think people should come over themselves and think of something else. Switch off the television. '
Bettina, a visual artist from Brighton, said: 'It is what I would really expect, although I am not going to be a hater. She married Harry, so I suppose she can call herself everything she likes. '
Resident of Brighton, Clare Edwards: 'I think she saw getting married in the royals as a way to stimulate her career, but I am not sure if that is the case.
The new series 'With Love, Meghan' with the Duchess of Sussex has been launched on Netflix
'She may have a greater exposure, but I am not sure if it has done her career so well. If she wants to exchange the name, I think it's good. However, they should visit more. '
Eveta, a visitor to Brighton, said: 'I would love it if she was here. It would be a reason to visit again. She should do more. Come and see the pier in Brighton, have an ice cream. I think it's a good idea. '
Sussex was part of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom, which eventually was part of the Kingdom of Wessex in about 827, before he was part of England.
Nowadays it is divided into West and East -Susses and has its own dog breed, the Sussex Spaniel, and contains South Downs National Park and an iconic coastline with the white cliffs of Beachy Head.
