Meghan Markle's new project, Archetypes, has been met with mixed reactions, with some members of Gen Z criticizing the Duchess of Sussex for trying to "cash in" on their generation.
Archetypes is a podcast series that will explore the labels that society puts on women. Markle has said that she wants to "challenge harmful stereotypes and inspire women to live their lives on their own terms."

However, some Gen Z users on social media have accused Markle of trying to "colonize" their generation. They have pointed out that Markle is 40 years old, and that she does not understand the experiences of Gen Z women.
Others have defended Markle, saying that she is simply trying to start a conversation about the challenges that women face. They argue that Archetypes could be a valuable platform for Gen Z women to share their stories and perspectives.
It remains to be seen how successful Archetypes will be. However, the mixed reactions to the project highlight the generational divide that exists between Markle and Gen Z.
Here are some of the reactions from Gen Z users on social media:
"Meghan Markle is trying to colonize Gen Z."
"She's a 40-year-old woman who doesn't understand our experiences."
"This is just a way for her to cash in on our generation."
"I'm not interested in listening to a podcast about how hard it is to be a royal."
"I'm sure there are plenty of Gen Z women who are doing amazing things who would be more deserving of a platform like this."
However, there were also some Gen Z users who defended Markle:
"She's just trying to start a conversation about the challenges that women face."
"This could be a valuable platform for Gen Z women to share their stories and perspectives."
"I think it's important to have a diversity of voices in the media, and I'm glad that Meghan is trying to give a platform to Gen Z women."
Only time will tell how successful Archetypes will be. However, the mixed reactions to the project highlight the generational divide that exists between Markle and Gen Z.
