Madame Duchess is an AWESOME coined term- and it's going to be monumental. You found a way to address her that's American, professional and accomplished, and doesn't need British rules and say-so. Go you!

Who besides me is really liking the title Madame Duchess Meghan? Although I'm not liking the photographer who called her that, I am liking the name.
