Spotify Exec Slams 'Grifter' Prince Harry and Meghan Markle After Podcast Deal Ends
- Meghan Markle's podcast "Archetypes" was not renewed for a second season after the Sussexes failed to deliver much content over three years.
- Spotify and the Sussexes' production company Archewell Audio mutually agreed to terminate their multiyear deal worth around $20 million.
- Bill Simmons, head of Spotify's global sports content, called the couple "f---ing grifters" and criticized Prince Harry's talent on his own podcast.
- Simmons had previously expressed annoyance at having to "share" Spotify with Prince Harry.
- The Sussexes are continuing to develop content for another platform after gaining lucrative deals with Spotify and Netflix.
