Meghan Markle has launched so many different projects in recent months, it’s almost hard to keep track.

There was her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, which was renewed for a second season, prompting the enterprising Duchess of Sussex to take advantage of the success and a couple more businesses to her resume.
Her digital storefront piggybacks off the series as does her new lifestyle brand, As Ever, and there’s also her latest podcast attempt she recently released.
It’s either a lot to saturate her audience, or not enough to satisfy fans — depending on how you feel about Meghan.
As for royal biographer Tina Brown, it’s too much Meghan, who is putting all her organic chicken eggs in one handmade, ethically woven basket.
“Her problem is just that she is so ADD. She just never stops making announcements and never really follows through,” Brown said on the “Mixed Signals from Semafor Media” podcast last week.
“It’s like, I’m gonna do a cooking show! Nah — I’m going to be a podcaster. And hello, hello, I’ve got a beauty line!” Brown continued.
“It’s like, just do one of those things, do it really well, and then do something else. She’s weirdly panic-stricken in her business model.”

Markle released her new podcast Confessions of a Female Founder shortly after opening up her online shop of recommended products, “a handpicked and curated collection” of the things she loves.
The ex-Vanity Fair editor-in-chief branded the Suits alum as “enormously shallow” for her multitude of ventures.
“Maybe she’s just so devoid of self-confidence that she’s always trying to be a sort of instant Beyoncé or instant Michelle Obama without the background that has built those people — you know, those very, very strong structures on which they stand. So that’s really been her problem,” Brown said of Meghan.
“If she’d simply succeeded at one thing, and then done another thing, she’d be in a much, much better place,” the royal expert continued. “But she’s enormously shallow in her approach to the work she does.”

Brown also said that she’s heard Markle is “inadvisable,” despite having a lot of people willing to give her tips and tricks.

“She kind of appears to be extremely motivated by it, and then she doesn’t do it, and does something else,” Brown said.
“She’s worn out her advisory circle, who just feel like, well, what’s the point? She’s not going to do it.”
As a result, Brown believes “the tragic aspect is Harry” because while “she doesn’t take advice … he only takes hers.”
Brown added: “That’s not a very good combination really for either of them.”
That said, Brown admitted that Markle actually isn’t “bad at anything that she does,” and it helps that she has a “huge influencer following.”
Brown noted: “When she puts on a shirt or carries a handbag, it sells out, which means that she clearly has a following of people who really like what she stands for in some ways.”
