Meghan Markle is settling with second tier celebrities after the A-listers snub her, says an expert.

The Duchess of Sussex, who is working towards her lifestyle brand and podcasts based on women empowerment, is using people’s success gain publicity.

Royal expert Nick Ede tells The Sun: “Meghan obviously is trying really hard to establish herself in a big way, and associating herself with other female founders, was kind of a good idea, because it went well with the As Ever brand, and how that was developing

“But the issue is that actually the As Everbrand hasn’t really gone particularly far, so she can’t really say that she’s a particularly great female founder.

“And so when she’s been interviewing some of these brilliant people like Sarah Blakely, for instance, who who came up with Spanx and was one of the first youngest billionaires in the world, that’s somebody who’s actually aspirational, somebody who’s worked really hard and created a product which is sold around the world and recognized around the world.

“And unfortunately, as ever isn’t.”

“Meghan is great at piggybacking off other people’s success,” the expert added

“I think one of the biggest problems with this is that unfortunately, Meghan hasn’t had the people who are going to get the bums on seats who are going to get the listeners who are going to get the downloaders,” he said.
