The couple are still currently known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
However, Kate Williams has said if they were to lose their titles they’d be known as Prince and Princess since Harry’s Prince title cannot be removed.

“But Harry’s title of Prince cannot be removed. Thus if they were no longer Duke and Duchess, they’d be Prince and Princess.
“Which would, one might argue, be even more appealing on the world stage..”
Meghan’s title would be Princess Henry of Wales. That is her title through marriage but she does not use it now due to the Sussex titles. But if the Sussex titles removed, she would be quickly called in general speech Princess Meghan or indeed Princess Meghan of Wales….

Another added, “Princess Meghan of Wales has a nice ring to it,” while a third wrote: “Meghan Markle, Princess Henry of Wales. That sounds about right.”
