Meghan Markle is "the princess of woke" GB News host Bev Turner has claimed in a scathing analysis of the Duchess of Sussex.

Bev spoke to Michael Cole on GBN America and criticised the duchess for her embracing the agenda, despite her Netflix hit Suits being a "fantastic drama series created before we got all woke."

Bev said: "I love Suits. It's the most fantastic drama series created before we got all woke. In fact, the leader of the legal firm is a black woman and yet no mention is made of the fact that she's a black woman.

"She's not there because she's black. In fact, there's one episode where she comes across an old email in which it's suggested that her boss hired her because she was a black woman, and she takes objection to that and says, I should never have been a diversity hire. I'm here on my merit.

"And in a way, that's why Suits has aged, but remains almost timeless. It harks back to a time of nostalgia where women, people of colour, weren't given these positions because of how they happened to be born, but actually because of meritocracy.

"Yet, Meghan Markle has now become the princess of woke."

Meghan had her breakout role in the Netflix hit Suits and played the fiery paralegal Rachel Zane from 2011 to 2017, before quitting as an actress to get engaged to Prince Harry.

The Duchess has been outspoken about tackling feminism and racism in the past and often speaks about how she successfully campaigned, aged 11, for Procter & Gamble to change a sexist dish soap commercial.

As a humanitarian, the duchess has made a name for herself in the activism world by getting involved in a number of philanthropic projects.

In the past the TV and movie actress has been bestowed the title of global ambassador for World Vision, advocate for UN Women, and counsellor for One Young World, a UK-based charity.

In 2022, on her podcast Archetypes she addressed being called "woke."

She said: "I have thought a lot about words that become unnecessarily charged as it pertains to women, like feminism, for example, often treated, as taboo, as the f-word.

"Or the word woke. I know I'm saying 'woke' I fully realise I am spoon-feeding the clickbait, but here's why.

"Because woke by definition means alert to injustice in society especially racism.

"Now, what's loaded or wrong with that? And when you layer a woman into that seemingly anodyne definition, it becomes for many almost disgusting 'outrageous,' they would say but why?"

"What is so scary about a woman having an opinion as strongly as a man does?

"And why do we sometimes cower to that? Turtle, as I often say... go back into the safety of our own shell."
