Once the dazzling duchess of legal drama in Suits, Meghan Markle gracefully exited Hollywood’s glittering stage to marry Prince Harry and enter the realm of tiaras and tradition. Yet, the camera missed her because Markle has boomeranged back into the spotlight with ventures like her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, brand relaunch and a new podcast. However, with every headline-grabbing launch comes a loyal companion: plagiarism claims. Like an overzealous puppy on a leash, they follow her faithfully, wagging controversy at every entrepreneurial turn.

Meghan Markle’s latest brand launch saw products disappear from shelves in under an hour, but once again, she finds herself entangled in acontroversy surrounding her newest venture.

Meghan Markle’s newest entrepreneurial endeavor is drawing sharp comparisons to the ventures of three prominent figures—BBC’s Dragons’ Den tycoon Steven Bartlett, wellness mogul Gwyneth Paltrow, and Hollywood icon Pamela Anderson. As anticipation continues to build for Markle’s upcoming podcast episodes of Confessions of a Female Founder, an X user, @MykaFox has spotlighted its uncanny resemblance to Bartlett’s widely acclaimed series Diary of a CEO, suggesting the title is the "same name plus a thesaurus."

Meghan Markle made her podcast debut with an open discussion with Whitney Wolfe Herd, the woman behind the dating app Bumble. In this introspective conversation, Markle reconnected with her longtime friend to explore change, perseverance, and the complex realities of life. Though she did not directly address plagiarism claims, Markle subtly used the platform to reclaim her personal branding amid ongoing debate over how she presents her name.

While it is true that much lies in a name, unlike her Netflix lifestyle series where Meghan Markle introduced herself as Sussex, she has now opted for yet another different name which is not Sussex.

On April 8, 2025, Meghan Markle unveiled the premiere episode of her new podcast. Interestingly, despite previously aligning herself with the title “Sussex” in her Netflix lifestyle series With Love, Meghan, she has now embraced a more casual persona. In the inaugural episode of Confessions of a Female Founder, she introduced herself plainly as “I’m Meghan.” The show’s promotional visuals echoed this, highlighting the tagline “with Meghan,” signaling yet another shift in her evolving public identity.

The words "with Meghan" appear in a stylized podcast promotional graphic, which is perhaps a response to the criticism that followed her lifestyle series. Strangely, the Instagram account that now documents snippets of her life only uses the name "Meghan," discreetly aligning her image and personal brand. Even while this rebranding strategy may have decisively cleared up the confusion around her identity, the possibility of plagiarism associated with the title of her podcast remains, causing rumors of copying rather than creativity.
