Some of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s joint business ventures are “falling apart” and they are facing some of their biggest problems, a royal expert has claimed to new.
Royal biographer Tom Bower said since Harry and Meghan’s Spotify podcast deal has abruptly come to an end, the pair are going to find it a struggle to keep their brand “reputable”.
And Tom told new he thinks “Meghan and Harry’s joint ventures are falling apart”.
“They are beginning to taste the medicine that they handed out during the Oprah Winfrey interview,” he added. “They’re finding it very, very hard to keep their brand reputable. They’re constantly having to defend themselves and they’re grasping for opportunities that don’t exist any more.”
Work on their solo projects is now underway after the pair abruptly parted ways with Spotify and their lucrative podcast deal, which they signed in 2020. Bill Simmons, head of podcast innovation and monetisation at Spotify, labelled Harry and Meghan “f**king grifters” in his own podcast. Jeremy Zimmer, chief executive of Hollywood agency, United Talent Agency, later commented, “Turns out Meghan Markle was not a great audio talent or necessarily any kind of talent.”
