We are witnessing, in real time, Meghan Markle approaching her most natural incarnation: A Kardashian.
The signs have been there all along, but have ramped up considerably as A-list pals such as Oprah, Gayle, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, and Tyler Perry appear to have kept considerable distance.
So, too, have the major corporations once in business with Meghan — who has been dropped by Spotify, has seen her and Harry’s deal with Netflix downgraded to a vague ‘first-look’ agreement, has had her brief ‘Confessions of a Female Founder’ podcast reach its end, and whose ‘As Ever’ brand launched just this year — now seems to be floundering.
