It comes as Duchess of Sussex has joined a new streaming platform and will be 'continuing her love of podcasting'

Meghan Markle's 'vicious competition' with Kate is 'far from feminist' a royal commentator has slammed.

The Duchess of Sussex has signed a new deal with streaming platform Lemonada, a year after she was dropped from her multi-million Spotify deal.



Taking to Sussex.com with the announcement, Meghan wrote that she was " proud of being able to support a female-founded company."

However, speaking to Patrick Christys on GB News royal correspondent Kara Kennedy said: "I've always thought it was quite ironic that Meghan's such a self-described feminist, and she's droned on about it for her entire career.

"But at the same time, she viciously competes with women around her, particularly the Queen and Kate.

"What we've seen of her behavior, the bullying manipulation, is far from feminist.

"I would describe her as calculating and competitive, but probably not feminist first and foremost.

"I'm not sure we have much left to hear of her story after Netflix, Archetypes, Harry's book, and all of the different interviews.

"She hasn't seen a lot of members of the royal family for now years, so I don't really know what she's going to have left to say."

Christys asked the expert: "Do you think she suffers from a little bit of delusion? Which is that people care about her just going about her daily business.

"Which as far as I can tell, is occasionally popping up at some kind of Bob Marley event and maybe pushing Harry around the theatre a little bit to try and get a better seat popping up as a hockey game, etc."

Kennedy responded: "I think at the beginning she was kind of vindicated in her delusion because there was such a split down the middle of who supported Megan and who didn't.

"But now, as the years have gone on, there is no support for The Sussex's anymore. It isn't that 50 50 split. In fact, it's more like 95 five per cent for the people who actually support them.

"So I don't know if she can live in her delusions for much longer."

On Harry and Meghan's new website, it was announced that the podcast "Archetypes" will be available to stream in Spring, and Lemonada will oversee ad sales and distribution.

Meghan and Harry’s media deal with Spotify was axed prematurely after one season of Meghan’s podcast ‘Archetypes’ and one holiday special.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were branded as "f***ing grifters" by Bill Simmons, Head of Podcast Innovation and Monetisation at Spotify.

The senior executive said: "The f***ing grifters. That's the podcast we should have launched with them." On Sussex.com, the new podcast is described as "a record-breaking podcast exploring the labels that try to hold women back."
