Meghan Markle’s new podcast is just toe-curling and unsubtle dross

At the beginning of the debut episode of Meghan Markle’s new podcast, she is keen to assert her own identity. After flirting with tradwifedom in her most recent Netflix show With Love, Meghan, she is now casting off her brief nomenclature of ‘Meghan Sussex’, but nor should you refer to The Artist Formerly Known As The Duchess of Sussex as ‘Meghan Markle’ any longer. Instead, she is simply ‘Meghan’ these days, like Madonna, Buddha or, to name another showboating and opportunistic celebrity who had a penchant for backing into the limelight, Liberace.

Not that Confessions Of A Female Founder features anything so interesting as its presenter offering the world a virtuoso piano solo.
