Meghan Markle was brutally savaged by a royal commentator who criticised her for her business efforts and suggested her new podcast will not succeed. The Duchess of Sussex has had a busy 2025 so far, as she’s made her grand return to social media, released her new lifestyle series With Love, Meghan on Netflix, launched her brand As Ever and is now bracing for the launch of her new podcast show, Confessions of a Female Founder, which is set to drop next month.
But royal commentator Kevin O’Sullivan was not very hopeful on Meghan’s latest business venture and said it will follow a similar pattern to her previous ventures which he dubbed “disastrous”. He said on TalkTV: “With Love, Meghan broke new ground in tedium. It brought new depths of boringness. The problem with Meghan is that she’s got no idea how to be entertaining; she has no idea how to be interesting. Every time she opens her mouth, you want to fall asleep; she is so, so dull. It’s just epic. So that’s why With Love, Meghan is failing, because it’s eight episodes of sheer tedium. And now she’s come up with this podcast series called Confessions of a Female Founder, which frankly doesn’t travel well. Archetypes [her previous podcast with Spotify] was a disaster because it was so dreary. Her new podcast is based on the preposterous proposal that she is a successful founder of companies. Her companies are completely disastrous. So if she is genuinely going to sit down with successful female company founders, I hope she pays attention and takes some tips so she is a little less catastrophic at starting her own company.” The Duchess of Sussex has been contacted for comment.
Meanwhile, Meghan said she is “excited” to share her new podcast with her fans, adding that the new show will highlight “amazing women who have turned dreams into realities, and scaled small ideas into massively successful businesses”. She dubbed the process of making it “absolutely eye-opening, inspiring…and fun”.
