Meghan Markle Slammed As ‘Entitled’ And ‘Boring’ After Her New ‘Female Founder’ Podcast Launches To 2/5 Stars: ‘Spends The Majority Of Her Time Blowing Her Own Trumpet’

Meghan Markle‘s new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder with Meghan already got off to a bad start before the first episode even aired. And things aren’t any better after the first episode, which featured an interview with Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder of dating app Bumble.
Jeremy Kyle and Kinsey Schofield discussed the success – or lack thereof – of the former Suits actress‘s podcast with Lemonada Media on TalkTV, referencing how the first episode only received two out of five stars from TV critics.
The Telegraph‘s TV critic, Chris Bennion, said the episode was “an inane stream of mindless aphorisms” lacking in genuine confessions or secrets. Alongside her 2-star rating, The Guardian‘s Rachel Aroesti said it was a “sycophantic interview podcast” that is “stomach-turning.” Yikes!
The TalkTV hosts also discussed some of the reasons why they believed the first episode wasn’t a hit with listeners, and essentially blamed it on Meghan’s “narcissistic” and “entitled” behavior.
Schofield, host of the To Di For Daily podcast, laid into both Prince Harry and Meghan right off the bat, and slammed them for “disparaging” the royal family. She said: “Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace do not get enough credit for making these two nauseatingly boring, tedious, and entitled individuals appear to be worthy of our attention.”
“If the last five years have taught us anything,” Schofield continued, “it’s that these two are one-trick ponies disparaging the British royal family. Otherwise, they have absolutely nothing of value to share.”
Kyle then went on to discuss some of the things the As Ever founder shared with listeners, including suffering from postnatal preeclampsia after giving birth, saying: “I’m going to play the opening of her podcast. She admits that she was overwhelmed by her new career – and we’ve had medical issues, the morning fruit run, all of it complete [expletive.]”
