Spotify Executive Calls Harry and Meghan “Grifters” After Podcast Fails
The recent news surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has been a hot topic for many people.
One of the latest developments is that Spotify has pulled the plug on the couple’s $20 million podcast.
This decision was made after Bill Simmons, the head of podcast innovation at Spotify, called Harry and Meghan “f-ing grifters.”
Simmons has made it clear that he is not a fan of the royal couple and has previously stated that he was embarrassed to be associated with the Duke through their shared employer.
The term “grifters” has caused some controversy, as it implies that the couple are con artists.

However, there is little doubt that the podcast did not make the impression that they were hoping for.
The failure of the podcast, combined with rumours that Netflix has pulled a deal for an animated series called Pearl, which Meghan was supposed to be involved with, has left the couple in a difficult position.
If this deal falls through, it could be worth as much as $100 million.
Despite these setbacks, it seems that Meghan may soon become the face of Dior.
There are rumours circulating that her agent, Harry Emanuel, who is very well connected, is working on a deal for her.
This could be a dramatic turn of events for the couple.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams has weighed in on the situation, stating that the problems for the couple are mounting.
He suggests that they may need to reconfigure their brand or go into politics in order to stay afloat.
However, he also notes that anything the couple does still fascinates the planet.
One of the issues with the podcast was that it was seen as patronising and vacuous.
It focused too much on Meghan and her victimhood, rather than offering any real insight or value to listeners.
This lack of substance may have contributed to its failure.
Overall, it seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are in a difficult position.
They may need to find new avenues for income if their current deals fall through.
However, they are still a fascinating couple to many people, and it remains to be seen what they will do next.
