Unsurprisingly, former royals Harry and Meghan Markle couldn’t manage to succeed with their Spotify podcast after being in the royal family and dressing up to wave and appear at events was somehow too difficult for them.
Among the reasons why the now-canceled podcast didn’t succeed is that people didn’t want to appear on it, as can be seen in a hilarious recent revelation from Taylor Swift. Swift admitted that she turned down an invitation from Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, to appear on the podcast. It was then canceled after Spotify and Markle couldn’t come to an agreement,
According to Swift, the Wall Street Journal reports, Markle wrote a personal letter to Swift asking her to appear on the podcast. Swift not only declined, but did so through a representative. The WSJ, reporting that funny tidbit, said, “Choosing the right kind of guest was often fraught. Meghan wrote Taylor Swift a personal letter asking her to come on the podcast. The pop star declined, through a representative.”
The humiliating claim comes amidst a series of high-profile failures for the failed royals. For one, their “Archetypes” Spotify podcast failed with there being no deal for a second season.
Then there was the woke, animated children’s show called “Pearl.” Netflix canceled it, and two other show ideas they came up with were nixed by Netflix as well. Further, people familiar with their deal with Netflix told the Wall Street Journal that their deal with Netflix will not be renewed.
According to both Spotify and Netflix, the main problem with the former royals is their utter lack of productivity. The WSJ, reporting on Spotify’s viewpoint, said, “The audio company’s executives grew frustrated with the amount of time it took Archewell to conceptualize an idea for Meghan’s podcast and assemble a production team.” Additionally, the paper’s report noted that both Spotify and Netflix “have been underwhelmed by the lack of productivity by the Sussexes, people familiar with their perspectives say.“
A representative for the failed royals’ company, Archwell, told the WSJ that the ending relationships were a “people and strategy” change common to start-ups. The spokesperson said, “New companies often make changes in their start up phase, both with people and strategy, and we are no exception. We’re more equipped, focused and energized than ever before.”
