GoUp's chief executive Edward Coram-James confirmed last week that Harry and Meghan's contract with Spotify had been cancelled after just one season of the Duchess' award-winning Archetypes podcast.A joint statement released by the royal couple and the company to confirm the news alleged that it was a "mutual agreement" made between them to end the deal, the Express reports.However, despite much speculation of where that leaves Harry and Meghan in terms of being offered other deals, Coram-James has stated that he doesn't believe their Spotify loss will impact their future careers.
