The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been labelled “controversial in everything they do”, following backlash against Meghan Markle’s new podcast: The Confessions of a Female Founder.
Royal Commentator and Public Relations Consultant, Richard Fitzwilliams told City News:
“opinion ratings (of Meghan) in Britain are terrible, they’ve been terrible for a long time.”
This has been reflected in the new podcast, which Fitzwilliams claims “has not done well at all, either in the US or Britain.”
Confessions of a Female Founder, which debuted in April this year, features conversations between Meghan and female businesswomen and founders, many of them her personal friends, discussing the challenges and triumphs of building their own brands.
In her most recent business venture The Duchess of Sussex launched her own brand As Ever in March this year, which is something that she reflects upon in the podcast.
Fitzwilliams believes that it is projects like this leave show “there is no question that she is aiming to be influencer”.
However Chloe Bowen, the founder of an Afrocentric fitness studio in Hackney The Body People, believes that criticism of the podcast better reflects the challenges successful women of colour still have to face:
“She is going to experience things that a white man will never so well done to her for continuing to push through that. She’s going to have advantages and disadvantages as well, and one of them is being a woman of colour.”
She supports Meghan Markle giving business advice, if her intentions are in the right place:
“If you come from money and you have the intention of supporting others who don’t then why not? There are going to be some experiences that someone who is privileged and, in her position, haven’t been through so then its about having the decency to connect and speak to others who are trying to build businesses who are not in her position.”
Despite controversy surrounding the podcast the latest episode, which is now the fifth in the series, came out today.
