Meghan Markle ditched her last name in the premiere episode of her new podcast.

One month after going viral for telling Mindy Kaling she goes by “Sussex now,” the “Confessions of a Female Founder” used only her first name to introduce herself to listeners.

“I’m Meghan,” the 43-year-old said at the start of the episode.

After Markle wrapped her interview with Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd, the podcast credits were listed by a different woman.

“‘Confessions of a Female Founder’ is a production of Lemonada Media, created and hosted by Meghan,” the individual said.

Similarly, the promotional photo for the show used on streaming services reads, “Confessions of a Female Founder with Meghan.”

Markle made headlines last month for correcting Kaling, 45, during her new Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan.”

Kaling inadvertently kicked off the conversation by saying, “People wouldn’t believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box.”

Markle laughed, then said, “It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m Sussex now.”

The “Deal or No Deal” alum explained that it feels “meaningful” to share a “family name” with her husband, Prince Harry, and their two kids: son Archie, 5, and daughter Lilibet, 3.

Page Six reported in February that Markle and Harry’s little ones’ last names had been switched to the Sussex title.

After Markle’s explanation, Kaling replied, “Now I know. And I love it.”

The “Office” alum spoke about the moment “becom[ing] big news” during a “View” appearance in March.

“I had a great time,” she clarified.

When Markle subsequently appeared on the “Drew Barrymore Show,” the host introduced her guest to viewers as “Meghan Sussex.”
