Now what would Meg and Eugenie advise Soo to do?

-

YES, I would like 40 minutes with Meghan. There’s quite a few things I’d like to discuss with the Duchess of Sussex, once I’ve stopped laughing at her latest initiative.

To celebrate her 40th birthday, the Duchess’s ‘40x40 project’ encourages women to donate 40minutes of their time to help other women return to the workplace.

If I were deeply cynical, and actually I am, I might see this as another excuse for privileged, rich women like her to convince themselves they are doing good work simply by telling less fortunate women what they should be doing with their lives.

Part of the 40x40 project is offering advice to women re-entering the workforce. I interpret that as Meghan telling the new nanny to make sure Lilibet’s eco-nappies are disposed of correctly and handing Doria another tea towel.

It is even funnier that infamous career girl Princess Eugenie is giving her support to the project. Eugenie worked in an art gallery before styling herself as a philanthro­pist and marrying a roving tequila ambassador called Jack.

Who will Eugenie mentor? Soo from The Sooty Show? Soo could certainly do with some career advice to escape the toxic puppet patriarchy she has been stuck in for years: who better than Eugenie to free her from that threesome?

Meantime, I like that Meghan is gaining in confidence and starting to believe few women on the planet can do anything good without her guidance. She is looking increasing­ly presidenti­al behind her power desk. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
