A royal expert has claimed Meghan Markle could soon become an online influencer after her podcast Archewell Audio ended its deal with Spotify.
Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex said Spotify and Archewell Audio had "mutually agreed to part ways" after just one podcast series. The exclusive partnership started in 2020 and was a £15.5million deal.
In a joint statement, Prince Harry and Meghan announced the end of the deal. They said: "Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together."
The audio-first production was launched by Meghan and Harry in a bid to produce podcasts and shows "that build community through shared experiences, powerful narratives, and universal values." But royal experts have now claimed the latest blow to the Sussexes could leave Meghan struggling to work out her next steps.
Speaking to GB News, US royal correspondent Kinsey Schofield said she expected Meghan to create content online. She said: "I think that today's a really bad day for Meghan Markle. She hates failing and she's failing on a global scale.
"This is a huge audience that are watching, you know, Pearl gets cancelled by Netflix before it even came to fruition. The Spotify you know, kicking her to the curb in front of the entire world. This is a hard time for them.
"And I think that they are really struggling to figure out their identity and what their next steps are, I think it's being an influencer. I think she's going to have to resort to creating digital content because what else is she going to do?"
