Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s $20 Million Spotify Deal to End
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s multi-million dollar deal with Spotify is coming to an end, the two parties have confirmed. The couple signed a deal with the streaming giant in 2020, but have only released one series, “Archetypes,” under their Archewell Audio podcast imprint.
In a statement, Spotify said that the decision to end the deal was “mutual.” “We have enjoyed working with Meghan and Harry over the last few years and we are grateful for their contributions to Spotify,” the company said. “We wish them all the best in their future endeavors.”
A spokesperson for Archewell Audio said that the couple was “excited to see what the future holds” for their podcasting platform. “We have created a meaningful body of work that we are proud of,” the spokesperson said. “We look forward to sharing more details on our future plans in due course.”
The end of the Spotify deal is the latest setback for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have faced a number of challenges since stepping back from royal duties in 2020. The couple’s Netflix deal has also been met with mixed reviews, and they have been criticized for their high-profile lifestyle.
However, the couple has also had some successes. Their Archewell Foundation has raised millions of dollars for charitable causes, and they have signed a number of lucrative deals, including a book deal with Penguin Random House.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s podcasting platform. However, the end of the Spotify deal suggests that the couple is still looking for ways to expand their reach and build their own media empire.
What does this mean for the future of Archewell Audio?
It is unclear what the future holds for Archewell Audio after the end of the Spotify deal. The couple could choose to sign a new deal with another streaming service, or they could launch their own podcast platform. They could also choose to focus on other projects, such as their book deal or their Netflix series.
Only time will tell what the next chapter is for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s podcasting platform. However, the end of the Spotify deal is a significant setback, and it will be interesting to see how the couple responds.
