Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are currently receiving a lot of backlash due to their failed projects. Last week, the couple received a huge blow as it was announced that their production company, Archewell Audio, had mutually agreed to part ways with Spotify. To make things worse, Spotify’s executives were likely “horrified” by Harry’s declarations about his deals.
In 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a $20 million deal with the streaming giant to create content for them in the upcoming years. After three years, they surprised the world by announcing the end of this deal after having only released Meghan Markle’s podcast, ‘Archetypes’, in 2022. On top of that, it was recently revealed that Spotity´s executives were likely “horrified” by Harry’s comments during his Oprah interview.
In 2021, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle released their controversial interview ‘Oprah with Meghan and Harry’ and revealed that they had signed several deals with Netflix and Spotify to create content for them. However, they also said that they only did this to get some money as they had just been cut from the Royal Family.
According to Richard Eden from the Daily Mail, Prince Harry clearly only signed these deals to gain some kind of financial stability after not being supported by Buckingham Palace anymore. By admitting this publicly, “Spotify executives were likely ‘horrified’ by Prince Harry’s admission he had signed lots of deals in a hurry to make money.”
