Fame-hungry Meghan is copying Trump – she’s desperate to make the world obsessed with her, expert slams

MEGHAN is copying President Trump in a desperate bid to make the world “obsessed” with her, an expert has slammed.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, has just launched her second podcast series last week, named Confessions of a Female Founder.

It follows Meghan talking to her friends who have started their own companies and brands.

The first episode aired on April 8 with an interview of the founder of Bumble, Whitney Wolfe Herd.

Critics widely panned the first listen saying it offered “no substance” despite it reaching top 19 of Spotify.

Dissecting the podcast, royal expert Mark Borkowski said it’s an attempt to hold on to the spotlight.

Slamming the Duchess he said she is copying Trump in a bid to stay relevant.

Mark said about Meghan’s poorly received podcast: “One could argue that’s a major success because, you know, it keeps her in this sort of public gaze and keeps the global media obsessed about her story.

“Whether it’s the President of the United States or Meghan Markle, it is all about noise now.

“But you know, what are the cut through messages – and I don’t think we’ve seen that with Meghan at the moment because everything seems to be the next thing that’s thrown against the wall hoping it will stick.”

Mark warned that in this day and age, anyone can be famous but it takes a certain skill, which he believes President Trump possesses, to remain in the spotlight.

“Any large personality can generate a huge Instagram following,” he added.

“But how do you stop being boring? What did Trump say? Everybody needs a little crazy.

“The problem is about staying, not just staying at the top but remaining famous, but also dealing with that fame in a highly cruel and critical world.”

The new series follows Meghan‘s £18 million podcast payout for Archetypes, which led to Spotify’s chief calling her and Harry “f***ing grifters” for only producing 31 episodes.

While Archetypes did initially attract strong listening figures, before crashing and burning amid a bitter Spotify fallout, Meghan’s new show appears to have fallen at the first hurdle.

Meanwhile, reviews slammed the first episode – featuring her friend, Bumble creator Whitney Wolfe Heard – as an “ego-fluffing conversation” that gave “vapid lessons in self-love”.

According to brand and culture expert Nick Ede, it’s Meghan’s flip-flopping over her image that has ultimately weakened her brand – with her latest business-focused podcast coming just weeks after a widely-panned Netflix lifestyle show.

Meghan was also criticised and branded as “vacuous” for promoting “empty, boring things”, such as selling jam under her new brand As Ever.

Mike continued: “You couldn’t describe Meghan as a successful entrepreneur.

“She’s she was a credit to the actress who marries the royal family, and the rest is history.”
