Schumer, 43, divulged her success with a new weight-loss medication before asking about the use of surnames within the royal family.

"I'm not going to stir the pot, but why don't we have to call Kate Middleton Kate of Wales?" Schumer said before signing off her video with, "Ok, Hilaria. Out."

Schumer was likely referring to the second episode of the new Netflix show, "With Love, Meghan," where the duchess teamed up with "The Office" star to create a kids' tea party.

"People wouldn't believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box," Kaling said.

Markle corrected Kaling, and stated, "It's so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I'm Sussex now."

"You have kids, and you go, 'No, I share my name with my children,'" said Markle. "I didn't know how meaningful that would be to me, but it just means so much to go, 'This is our family name, our little family name.'"

The duke and duchess stepped back as senior royals in 2020. They are raising their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in the wealthy, coastal city of Montecito, California. They still hold their royal titles.

"Every day is a love story," she captioned the image shared with her nearly 3 million followers on social media. 

Archie and Lilibet were previously known as "Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor" and "Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor." They were granted the titles of prince and princess after their grandfather, 76, ascended to the throne in 2022.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Schumer and Markle's reps for comment.
