Spotify takes Sussexes' podcasts 'into its own hands': Streaming giant is hiring producers to manage 'every step' of Harry and Meghan's pet project

They launched their £18million podcast deal a year ago with a pledge to promote ‘shared values’.

But Harry and Meghan’s pet project appears to have suffered a blow, with audio giant Spotify reportedly taking production into its own hands.

After the deal resulted in only one show being streamed, it is advertising for in-house staff to cover ‘every step’ of the process.

Spotify announced the partnership with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Archewell Audio in December 2020 as they were ‘citizens of the world’ who wanted to ‘elevate underrepresented voices’.

But aside from a 33-minute ‘holiday special’ that month featuring friends such as Sir Elton John and James Corden – and the intensely private couple’s son, Archie, speaking his first public words – there has been a deafening silence.

The latest move follows Harry and Meghan adding two more 'entertainment' companies to their growing business empire in Delaware.

The pair, who stepped back from royal duty last year, are setting up a complex network of companies all based in the opaque tax haven state.

Why in the hell would anyone want to sit and listen to these self-important clowns? His trashy wife couldn’t handle playing second fiddle to the more beautiful and much classier Kate.

A series which will destroy the “brand” of Suxxexx’s because no-one will watch this boring incompetent duo of “woke” subsidy fake “royals”. Only thing worse, now that Andrew has been stripped of all royal duties and titles— would be an “Andrew and Fergie” series (like Andy and Fergie “do” Isle of Capri to memorialize Caesar Augustus the ultimate pervo).

I love watching ‘Royal TV’. This tawdry business with Harry and Megan is embarrasing.

The fame of the two talentless hacks is fading fast.

Harry should have married Cressida Bonas.

I think you meant Tiberius, not Augustus. Understandable mistake.

Maybe she didn't want to buy in.

Call them the Windsors. Their titles have been removed. But after Andrew’s cock-up, maybe they’ll get them back.

i think she realized Harry was a nut case. Plus, she didnt want all the hassle that comes with marrying into the Royals

Colonel of the Grenadiers is a patronage, and not a real military position. Sea captains during the Napoleonic wars were often granted a colonelcy as a reward for distinguished actions.
