Harry and Meghan Markle, one failure after another. What about royalty?
The future of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as successful content producers is increasingly in jeopardy. this is what is happening
It is not a good time for Harry and Meghan Markle, the couple who until a few months ago were on the crest of the wave with a million-dollar contract with Spotify, one with the streaming giant Netflix, and a series of projects in the pipeline.
Then something broke, at least on the part of public opinion, and without a doubt the controversial Netflix docuseries and the autobiography of the second son of King Charles III helped to restore a different image to which the couple fled like hell from Buckingham Palace. what did he want? give of himself
The resounding failure of the multi-million dollar deal that Harry and Meghan had managed to wrest from Spotify for the production of the Archetypes podcast for the record amount of 20 million dollars seems to have started a chain reaction from which the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will hardly be able to get out of the front.
Goodbye to Spotify, what happened behind the scenes
Spotify's expulsion, initially passed off as friendly, has been enriched with not-very-flattering details. Bill Simmons, executive of the Swedish company and podcaster in turn, did not mince words to describe Harry and Meghan:
"F*cking putters, here is the podcast we should have launched with them." Simmons himself, last January, had already lunged at Harry: “What is your talent? Why do we listen to you?
You were born into a royal family and you left… Sell documentaries and podcasts that nobody cares about.” It only matters when you talk about the royal family and complain about them."
Taylor Swift's rejection
If guests of the caliber of Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, and Paris Hilton, in recent hours the news of an illustrious refusal has circulated, that of the Taylor Swift post.
The Duchess of Sussex would have liked to close the first season of Archetypes as the host of Taylor Swift and to succeed in the coup, the former actress had sent the American singer-songwriter a handwritten letter in her own handwriting.
The 33-year-old, set to return to concerts in Italy in a few months, reportedly completely ignored Meghan Markle's invitation. her without even deigning a negative response. The informed assured that the Duchess of Sussex would have found out about Taylor Swift's refusal only through the media.
