Elser began by recalling how Meghan had initially come across as someone who would use her position to make a real difference for women worldwide. Many people had felt that this was a cause for celebration, as they expected to see a duchess take on the patriarchy.
While Meghan did work towards gender equality during her time as a member of the royal family, with official trips to South Africa and Morocco highlighting this cause, her exit from the Firm has not exactly been seen as a feminist victory.
Although some people may view Meghan and Harry's outspoken exit as a moral triumph, with Meghan standing up against an ancient institution and speaking out about something that she felt was wrong, Elser argues that this is not exactly the kind of activism that feminist legends like Emmeline Pankhurst would have engaged in.
Meghan's constant criticism of her husband's family on national television has been seen as counterproductive to her feminist cause.
