Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Spotify Deal Is Likely Coming to an End

variety.com:

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Spotify’s exclusive podcast deal with Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is likely ending — with the couple having delivered just one show under the agreement, Variety has confirmed.

Reps for Spotify and Archewell Audio, the couple’s podcast production shingle, declined to comment. According to a source familiar with the situation, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have wanted to move away from exclusive Spotify distribution to find a new home for their audio originals.

Another source said that Spotify expected more content from Archewell Audio — noting that nearly three years after inking the pact, they have delivered only one series, essentially putting the overall deal in limbo.

That show for Spotify is Markle’s “Archetypes,” in which she deconstructs the history of societal stereotypes about women, which had hit No.
