苏塞克斯公爵夫人准备靠聊天赚得盆满钵盈了，而她将推出的播客正是 “吸金工具”。梅根・马克尔宣布将在 Lemonada Media 平台推出新节目《女性创业者的自白》（Confessions of a female Founder）。对于这位不断扩张商业版图的生活方式领域新兴企业家（她确实做过不少争议决定），此举完全符合她的 “品牌调性”。马克尔将这一新项目描述为 “一档与女性创业者和朋友们畅聊的节目，分享那些失眠的夜晚、汲取的教训，以及让她们走到今天的专注精神”。近年来马克尔一直在打造自己的 “As Ever” 品牌，尽管这看似是自然的业务拓展，但我们难免怀疑她和哈里心里装的是 “钱袋子”。

The Duchess of Sussex is ready to chit-chat her way to a stack of cash, and she's going to launch a podcast to help her get there. Meghan Markle announced that she would be launching her new show "Confessions of a Female Founder" on Lemonada Media. This is on-brand for the burgeoning lifestyle entrepreneur (who has certainly made more controversial decisions), with Markle describing the new endeavor as "a show where I chat with female entrepreneurs and friends about the sleepless nights, the lessons learned and the laser focus that got them to where they are today." Markle has been building her As Ever brand, and while this feels like a natural evolution, we can't help but think that her and Harry have money on their mind.

马克尔在预告片中毫不掩饰对财富的关注，她说道：“我们将深入探讨创业路上的高潮与低谷，以及如何将小创意变成价值数十亿美元的企业的实用建议。” 随后又补充：“一路走来，我也在打造自己的商业帝国，并在这个过程中收获了各种实用建议，非常期待分享给大家。” 虽然我们赞赏马克尔为女性创业者发声的举动，但对于两位前王室成员而言，这种频繁的 “金钱话题” 难免显得有些急切。更值得注意的是，她在预告片结尾将自己的节目比作《创智赢家》（Shark Tank）—— 而那档节目本质上就是 “逐利” 的代名词。

Markle spotlights the money to be made, saying in the trailer, "We're diving into the highs — and the lows — and the kind of advice that turns small ideas into billion-dollar businesses," and later adds that, "through it all, I'm building a business of my own, and getting all sorts of practical advice along the way that I'm very excited to share with you." While we can applaud Markle for lifting up female entrepreneurs, we also couldn't help shake the feeling that all of this money talk feels a little desperate for two former royals. And it certainly doesn't help that Markle ends the trailer by comparing her show to "Shark Tank," because "Shark Tank" is purely about getting rich.

梅根・马克尔和哈里王子马不停蹄地拓展事业，或许有一个现实原因。王室专家汤姆・奎因称：“哈里和梅根目前的资金足以维持他们在美国的王室生活方式，但新品牌的推出表明，他们意识到钱正迅速缩水。” 然而，打造这个新品牌的过程并非一帆风顺。马克尔的品牌最初名为 “American Riviera Orchard”，后来更名为现在的 “As Ever”。但这一名称已被纽约一家现有服装品牌抢先注册（甚至可能导致马克尔失去格温妮丝・帕特洛的认可），引发了争议。

There may be a good reason behind Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's busy work schedule. Royal expert Tom Quinn said that, "Harry and Megan certainly have enough money for now to carry on with their Royal lifestyle in America, but the launch of the new brand suggests that they are aware that the money is disappearing fast." However, the journey to get that new brand up and running has not been easy. Originally titled American Riviera Orchard, Markle then pivoted to the current title, As Ever. That name has also faced some pushback from an existing New York City clothing brand who first claimed the name (and may have resulted in Markle losing Gwyneth Paltrow's approval).

作为其生活方式帝国扩张的又一挫折，她的 Netflix 节目《爱你的，梅根》（With Love, Meghan）首播后评价不佳.此外，与节目配套的 ShopMy 账户也引发争议，粉丝不满她通过联盟链接赚取佣金。马克尔的职业生涯向来毁誉参半，因此《女性创业者的自白》究竟是 “精心设计的捞金之举” 还是 “成功之作”，只能静待时间检验。

As another ding to the growth of Markle's lifestyle empire, her Netflix show "With Love, Meghan" debuted to some less-than-stellar reviews, On top of that, there was the controversy around her ShopMy account that accompanied the show, fans weren't happy about Markle earning a commission from people using affiliate links. Markle is known for both good and bad career moves, so we'll just have to wait and see whether "Confessions of a Female Founder" is a calculated cash grab or a winning project.
