As various people have tried to make clear, the US does not prohibit US citizens from holding heredirary titles except in very specific and limited circumstances. The fact that US official forms do not accommodate potential titles does not make them illegal or suggest anything on the part off the form- issuing authorities other than bureaucratic efficiency.
Australia allows hereditary titles and, indeed, some Australians have been ennobled. No Australian form provides for titles beyond (incidentally) knights and baronets (Sir), and the daughters and younger sons of peers (the Hon/Lord/Lady). This is because Sir, Hon, Lord or Lady can be written the the box where we mortals would write Dr, Mr, Mrs, Ms, Miss. If US forms have a box for Dr, Mr, Mrs, Ms, Miss. why could not Lord Freddy Windsor enter Lord where I would enter Dr?
And as I've already made clear, titles are not recognized as a legal form of address on any U.S. document. Space allowing has nothing at all to do with it. They can call themselves anything they want socially, but not on a legal document. And since I've repeated same various times, I won't bother to repeat it again no matter how many times you choose to go on repeating the opposite. You can be sure that if Markle has a driver ID then she wrote in "Princess" on the application but it still doeesn't appear on her driver ID so perhaps you should take up your false "reasoning" with the State of California Dept. of Motor Vehicles. I'm sure they also need a good laugh.
