Sky News Washington correspondent Annelise Nielsen says the reception to Meghan Markle’s new podcast has been “pretty mixed”.
Ms Nielsen said there were many reactions on social media about how the podcast was “going to be so influential for young girls” before it came out.
She said Ms Markle talked at length about the incident in South Africa where her son Archie narrowly avoided fire – but said the British attitude of “keep calm and carry on” was foreign to the American. “No one was hurt so they would have had that stiff upper lip, the British style, and moved on and not shamed their host,” Ms Nielsen said.
“I’m guessing Kate and Wills would have dealt with stuff like that in the past and no one would ever hear about it.”

Tony Abbott ‘very much in favour’ of recognising Indigenous people in ConstitutionFormer prime minister Tony Abbott says he would be “very much in favour” of recognising Indigenous people in Australia’s Constitution. “I certainly think a very good case, a very compelling case, can be made for constitutional recognition but it’s got to be the right recognition,” he told Sky News host Paul Murray. “And to me, the right recognition would be something like inserting in the preamble after the words ‘one indissoluble federal commonwealth’. “Something like this: ‘With an Indigenous heritage, a British foundation and an immigrant character’, because all these three things are undoubtedly true.”

Morrison’s self-appointments were ‘unnecessary and undisclosed’Sky News host Chris Kenny says just because Labor is capitalising on news of former prime minister Scott Morrison’s self-appointed secret ministries, it “doesn’t mean there’s no substance to it”. “This was a secret and damaging attack on the principle of Cabinet government, on the crucial transparency and accountability of government,” he said. “Scott Morrison doesn't seem to understand that apologising to his colleagues doesn't really cut it, he needs to apologise to the parliament and to the public.” Mr Kenny said the release of the Solicitor-General’s advice “tells us in short what we already know” and proves there was nothing illegal about Mr Morrison’s actions but criticised the secrecy. “Plainly enough, says the solicitor-general, it is impossible for the parliament to hold ministers to account for the administration of departments if it does not know which ministers are responsible for which departments,” Mr Kenny said. “None of Morrison's explanations make sense, except for his power sharing arrangement with Health Minister Greg Hunt, which they agreed to and was publicised to at least some degree – all the other appointments were both unnecessary and undisclosed.”
