Meghan Markle draws controversy over business topics in her new podcast

 

Meghan Markle has launched her new podcast series, Confessions of a Female Founder, with the first episode titled "The Evolution of an Entrepreneur."

The launch includes an in-depth chat with Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd about the emotional and professional obstacles of creating a business while in the spotlight.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, and mother of two, spoke openly with her longtime friend Wolfe Herd, 35, about social expectations, media scrutiny, and the human toll of entrepreneurship.

While the first episode attempted to highlight female founders and the hardships of starting a business, some royal observers were less than thrilled.

Critics believe that the conversation lacked meaningful insights into entrepreneurship and failed to provide actionable takeaways for prospective business owners.

On The Sun's Royal Exclusive, journalist Esther Krakue and royal correspondents Jack Royston discussed the podcast's content.

Royston questioned if listeners acquired any useful information from the episode, claiming that the title did not accurately reflect the actual debate. 'It was named The Evolution of the Entrepreneur, but there wasn't much information on how a firm grows or what founders go through,' he said.

He also noted a lack of depth on critical business themes and voiced dissatisfaction that Meghan did not go deeper into her guests' business path.

The podcast's debut was just hours before Prince Harry appeared before the High Court in London, which added to the frenzy.
