Meghan Markle Loses Spotify Deal Over Lack of Productivity

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and her husband Prince Harry have had a tough week.

Spotify recently cancelled their $20 million deal with the former actress, citing lack of productivity as the reason.

The couple had signed a contract to produce 12 podcasts over two to three years, but they failed to deliver.

Spotify executives were not impressed with the content produced so far, calling it boring and a failure.

As a result, the company will not pay the full amount of the contract.

One executive even went as far as to call the couple “bleeping grifters,” meaning con artists in American slang.

This is a significant blow to the couple, who had already been dropped by several major companies.

It seems that Meghan and Harry are happy to take people’s money, but not willing to put in the work to earn it.

Former Sun Royal editor Charlie Ray commented on the situation, saying that the bubble has burst for the couple.

He believes that Netflix, who signed an £80 million deal with the couple, will soon follow in cancelling their contract.

Netflix was reportedly angry when the couple went to CBS to do an interview with Oprah Winfrey, rather than working exclusively with them.

Many TV executives are now saying that the couple doesn’t understand how the industry works.

Meghan has been the dominant force in the partnership with Spotify and Netflix, but many are questioning her ability to lead.

She has been telling executives with more experience than her how to run Hollywood, which has not gone down well.

Her podcast series, Archewell Audio, featured guests like Serena Williams and Mariah Carey, and was meant to empower women.

However, critics found it dull and lacking in substance.

One episode featured a discussion about the word “bimbo,” and another was about the padding in a bra.

These topics did not resonate with audiences, and the series quickly lost its novelty value.

The only topic that seemed to interest the couple was their own lives within the royal family.

However, this topic has become stale, and people are no longer interested in hearing them complain.

Bill Simmons, an American sports supremo who works with Spotify, openly criticised the couple for not doing any work for their money.

He even suggested that they should have a new series called “The Bleeping Grifters.”

Simmons also hinted at a conversation he had with Harry about podcast ideas, which he found amusing.

It seems that Meghan and Harry have not delivered on their promises, and companies are no longer willing to work with them.

They may have thought that being ex-royals gave them a free pass, but this is not the case.

They will need to work harder to prove their worth in the industry and regain the trust of their partners.
