You win some, you lose some - WHAT'S NEXT FOR HARRY & MEGHAN

The Sussexes won't be out of pocket for long

- Judy Kean

The news that one of their major sources of income has been axed has come as a blow for Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

Meghan's Archetypes podcast will not be renewed by Spotify for a second season and according to the Wall Street Journal, the fact only 12 episodes and a one-off holiday special were produced means they won't receive the entire $30 million agreed on with the music streaming giant when they signed a deal in 2020.

However, losing the Spotify deal is not the end of the world for the couple, who are looking at other even more lucrative ways of bringing in cash. And Meghan, 41, is set to be the big money-maker in the family, with talk of a possible multimillion-dollar deal with fashion brand Dior. She's also tipped to become one of the most successful influencers in the world and her defunct website The Tig could become a big earner if she decides to reboot it.

A US expert in managing reputation crises expects some big deals will be announced soon. "Meghan is a woman who constantly moves forward," says Eric Schiffer. "This is about building a global brand."

He says staying clear of dramas in the royal family -and keeping away from events such as the coronation - has been a wise move on Meghan's part. "This is an opportunity to distance Meghan from the negativity of the past. She will focus on the positive."
