- The BBC changed the title of part two of its royal docuseries from "Megxit" to "Sussexit" after Prince Harry said it was "misogynistic."
- "Megxit was or is a misogynistic term, and it was created by a troll, amplified by royal correspondents," Prince Harry said.
- "Sussexit" premiers on the BBC Monday night and will cover the lack of support the couple received from the royal family.
The BBC changed the name of an episode of its documentary about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to "Sussexit" after Prince Harry said it was sexist, the Telegraph reported.
The second episode of "The Princess and the Press" — initially named "Megxit" — premieres Monday on the BBC.
The title was changed after Harry spoke out against the term — a combination of "Meghan" and "Brexit," the tabloid term for the United Kingdom leaving the European Union.
"Maybe people know this and maybe they don't, but the term Megxit was or is a misogynistic term, and it was created by a troll, amplified by royal correspondents and it grew and grew and grew into mainstream media," he said, according to the Daily Mail.
The new name is a reference to Harry and Meghans roles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as members of British royalty in a contentious split with the royal family in 2020. The couple accused the royals of failing to support them when Markle, a former actress, was hounded by tabloid reporters.
The BBC docuseries will cover Harry and Meghan's claims about the royal family, as well as controversies surrounding a 1997 BBC interview with Harry's mother, Princess Diana, after it was revealed the network covered up "deceitful behavior" it used to secure the interview.
