LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – Television personality Megyn Kelly criticized Meghan Markle for calling herself a feminist on her newly launched website. Kelly, accompanied by columnist Maureen Callahan, expressed disapproval at the Duchess of Sussex’s declaration on the couple’s new website, sussex.com. The website, featuring a minimalist design, offers a glimpse into the lives of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, with a prominent photo of the couple on the homepage.
The biography on the site describes Meghan as a feminist and a champion of gender equality, highlighting her advocacy for women and girls. However, Kelly questioned this characterization, pointing out that numerous female staff members reportedly left their positions due to Meghan’s behavior. She challenged Meghan’s claim of uplifting young women, while Callahan also criticized the Duchess, citing her lack of reverence and appreciation for the Queen.
Sussex.com, launched by the couple, has sparked controversy due to its use of the Sussex title and royal crest for commercial purposes without consulting palace officials. Critics have raised concerns about the potential commercialization of the royal title, while a source close to the couple defended the use of the Sussex title, stating that it is their surname and family name.
In addition to the website launch, the couple’s media ventures have brought in significant revenue, including a Netflix deal for a docu-series and Prince Harry’s $20 million memoir “Spare.” The couple’s actions since stepping back from their royal duties have drawn attention and raised questions about their use of their royal titles for commercial purposes without royal approval.
