What it sounds like
She is correcting Philippa on the proper way to address her as a newly titled lady.
What it really means
“You may be my sister, but I have a title now—and you should treat me as your social superior.”
Said today
“Call me Lady Featherington now—you’re the one who hasn’t moved up.”
What was happening
Philippa says Prudence will get her name in Whistledown while Philippa remains unchanged. Prudence cuts her off and demands the title that marks her new status, turning the family taunt into a pointed put-down.
