March 22, 2025 – Meghan Markle is once again at the center of controversy as she faces intense backlash ahead of the release of her upcoming podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder.
The Duchess of Sussex has been criticized for her latest Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, with some experts calling it “boring” and lacking substance.
Royal commentator Kevin O’Sullivan was particularly scathing in his critique, claiming that Meghan has failed to produce engaging content. Speaking on TalkTV, he remarked, “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.”
His remarks have further fueled speculation about the success of Meghan’s upcoming podcast. Critics believe that, much like her previous project Archetypes, this new venture could struggle to attract listeners. Kevin O’Sullivan went on to say, “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.”
The expert also compared Meghan’s new podcast to Archetypes, which, despite initial success, failed to maintain momentum. He suggested that Confessions of a Female Founder might meet a similar fate unless Meghan drastically changes her approach. According to Kevin, the Duchess should consider learning from the successful female entrepreneurs she interviews so she can implement their strategies in her own endeavors.
Despite the criticism, Meghan remains focused on her latest project, which is set to feature conversations with influential women in business. Her supporters argue that the backlash is premature and that Confessions of a Female Founder could provide valuable insights into the challenges women face in entrepreneurship.
As the podcast launch approaches, all eyes will be on Meghan to see whether she can prove her critics wrong or if her latest media venture will follow the same trajectory as her past projects.
