Susanna Reid was busy putting out any flames caused by Richard Madeley this morning as they discussed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Arcade Fire multi-instrumentalist Will Butler has penned an op-ed piece in which he discusses the issues surrounding Spotify and its current situation with Joe Rogan.In January, hundreds of scientists and medical professionals asked Spotify to address COVID-19 misinformation on its platform, sparked by comments made on The Joe Rogan Experience. The 270-plus members of the science and medical community signed an open letter, which called Rogan’s actions “not only objectionable and offensive but also medically and culturally dangerous”.Following the publishing of that letter, Neil Young demanded his music be “immediately” removed from the platform, with many high-profile artists like Joni Mitchell, David Crosby and Graham Nash following suit.Since then, a consumer poll from Forrester Research has found that 19 per cent of the streaming service’s customers have since cancelled their subscriptions, or plan to in the near future.

Harry and Meghan Markle "fake" and "braindead" over their multi-million dollar Spotify deal.

Meghan Markle threw a party when she started earning a decent wage so she could give her high street clothes away - and make room for designer clobber, a source says.

Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan has praised Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, following the news that the Queen has expressed she would like her to have the title of Queen Consort when Prince Charles becomes King.Camilla, 74, married into the Royal Family 17 years ago amid a lot of controversy surrounding her relationship with Charles after Princess Diana’s tragic death. Now, the Queen has openly endorsed Camilla, which her eldest son Prince Charles has described as a deep honour for both him and his “darling wife”.In his most recent article, Piers has explained why Camilla is “best suited” for the job, whilst once again taking the opportunity to aim jibes at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.The journalist explained how Camilla and himself had been on good terms for many years, remembering a time when he bought her painting of a rhinoceros from a charity auction in 2002. Piers went on to use a memory of attending a celeb-packed Christmas lunch at Fortnum and Mason to exemplify why he felt Camilla would make a great Queen Consort. In his column for The Sun’s Fabulous, he remembered Camilla’s humorous reaction after he asked if she was feeling "disconcerted" by Chris Evans dressing up as a “gigantic purple Christmas tree” for the meal.She went on to admonish Piers, confirming that she was not offended, because the outfit was “very tame”, which seemed to impress the former Mirror editor. "Her amused reaction – I can think of a few snobbish royals who’d have got very snotty about such sartorial effrontery  – said everything you need to know about the woman just formally endorsed by the Queen as the next person to hold that historic title when Prince Charles becomes King,” he wrote.He went on to explain that he had known

Spotify boss Daniel Ek has sent a letter to company staff saying he “strongly condemns” Joe Rogan’s use of racial slurs, but that removing his podcast is “not the answer”.It comes after the streaming service reportedly removed 70 episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience that see the comedian using racist slurs.Last week (February 4) India.Aria shared a compilation of clips that featured Rogan using the N-word repeatedly and describing a Black neighbourhood as being similar to the Planet Of The Apes movie.Rogan has since apologised, telling his Instagram followers. “There’s been a lot of shit from the old episodes of the podcast that I wish I hadn’t said, or had said differently.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not publicly congratulated the Queen after she celebrated her Platinum Jubilee yesterday.Her Majesty reached the historic landmark of 70 years on the throne on Sunday (6 February), with her son Prince Charles writing her a heartfelt letter praising her many decades of service.It comes after the 95-year-old monarch used the occasion to announce that Camilla, Duchess of Cornwallwould be afforded the title of Queen Consort when Charles one day becomes King, ending the debate over whether she could ever be referred to as a 'Queen'.In the message, posted on social media by Clarence House, Charles said: "On this historic day, my wife and I join you all in congratulating Her Majesty The Queen on the remarkable achievement of serving this nation, the realms and Commonwealth for seventy years."The Queen's devotion to the welfare of all her people inspires still greater admiration with each passing year.But no such statement has emerged from any public channels used by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who stepped back from using platforms such as Facebook and Twitter in 2021 because of the amount of abuse they receive.However, they have been active elsewhere recently in updating the world about their Archewell business activities and charity initiatives.Only last week, the Sussexes issued a press release saying they had raised their 'concerns' with Spotify about their podcast content after a host of recent controversies — but vowed to continue using the platform themselves.One aggrieved Twitter user reacted to their lack of public acknowledgment by writing "Would it have killed them to offer their congratulations for a job well done to HM! Despicable!", while another took a different angle and

Battling criticism for hosting The Joe Rogan Experience, a podcast denounced for the propagation of Covid-19 vaccine misinformation and Rogan’s use of the N-word in 70 episodes, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek released a memo to his employees expressing how “deeply sorry” he is for the way the podcast affected his employees.

Todd Spangler NY Digital EditorSpotify CEO Daniel Ek, under fire from critics inside and outside the company over its partnership with Joe Rogan, said in a memo to employees that was “deeply sorry” for how the controversy over the podcast host has affected them.But in the wake of the company removing 70 past episodes of his podcast and Rogan’s use of the N-word on his show, Ek signaled that Spotify does not plan to end its deal to distribute “The Joe Rogan Experience.”“I do not believe that silencing Joe is the answer… canceling voices is a slippery slope,” he wrote in the memo Sunday, which was obtained by Variety.Ek said he is “committing to an incremental investment of $100 million for the licensing, development, and marketing of music (artists and songwriters) and audio content from historically marginalized groups.” “If we believe in having an open platform as a core value of the company, then we must also believe in elevating all types of creators, including those from underrepresented communities and a diversity of backgrounds,” the CEO wrote.Rogan has been a controversial figure ever since Spotify inked its exclusive deal with him in 2020, his hosting of right-wing personalities on “The Joe Rogan Experience.” The latest controversy over coronavirus misinformation on Rogan’s podcast has gone beyond the low-boil level that has previously accompanied outrage over comments on his podcast. That was led by Neil Young, who demanded Spotify pull his songs or drop Rogan, and has been followed by a few other artists and creators.According to Ek, Spotify has had conversations “with Joe and his team about some of the content in his show, including his history of using some racially insensitive language.

after publicly supporting Joe Rogan, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson acknowledged the controversial podcaster’s repeated use of the N-word, calling the revelation a “learning moment.”The popular actor was responding to a follower who said his recent backing of Rogan was a “terrible abuse of your power” in light of the N-word scandal.“I was not aware of his N word use prior to my comments, but now I’ve become educated to his complete narrative,” Johnson, 49, wrote on Twitter Friday. “Learning moment for me.”Rogan dropped the N-word almost two dozen times while hosting his wildly popular podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” according to newly unearthed clips.Rogan called the viral compilation “the most regretful and shameful thing I’ve ever had to talk about publicly” on Friday, saying the video was a collage of “out of context” snippets from “12 years of conversations.”Dear @donwinslow Thank you so much for thisI hear you as well as everyone here 100%I was not aware of his N word use prior to my comments, but now I've become educated to his complete narrative.Learning moment for me.Mahalo, brother and have a great & productive weekend.DJ https://t.co/3mBf85wRoe“It looks f–king horrible.
