Piers Morgan Takes a Swipe at Meghan Markle’s Failed Podcast as Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Media Empire Crumbles

Following the announcement that Spotify has ended its multi-million dollar deal with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Piers Morgan has taken to Twitter to share his latest news.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex spokesperson confirmed that the couple has parted ways with the music streaming giant, just three years after agreeing to a $20 million deal.

In a sarcastic tweet, Morgan joked about the cancellation of Markle’s podcast, Archetypes, calling it his favorite show.

He also boasted about his own show, Piers Uncensored, which he claims is the fastest growing news and opinion show on YouTube in the world, with 1.2 million subscribers.

Meanwhile, royal experts Angela Levin and Richard Fitzwilliams have delivered scathing criticism of the couple’s media projects, predicting their downfall.

The cancellation of Archetypes raises concerns about the future of their multi-million dollar deal with Spotify, which was supposed to be a cornerstone of their media endeavors.

Levin wasted no time expressing her doubts, stating that the value of Harry and Markle is no longer as high as it once was.

She argues that the failure of their radio deal is evidence that their media kingdom is crumbling, claiming that people are fed up with them now.

She goes further to predict that their upcoming content plans will be nothing short of disastrous.

Fitzwilliams joins the chorus of criticism, calling the conclusion of the Spotify contract a shocking failure.

He emphasizes that the original plan was to produce multiple series, and the fact that only one was created indicates the deal’s lack of success.

Losing Spotify, he believes, is a significant blow to the couple, forcing them to rely even more on their collaboration with Netflix to keep their business afloat.

Speaking of Netflix, Fitzwilliams points out that the duo has achieved remarkably little with the streaming giant thus far.

Despite a reported $100 million deal to create shows and content, their output has been lacking.

Even Harry’s highly anticipated memoir, Spare, published under Penguin Random House, could face scrutiny.

If the couple does not deliver further books, their relationship with the publishing house could be at risk.

Fitzwilliams concludes by highlighting the couple’s unpredictability and the difficulties they pose for the royal family.

He warns that this could be the beginning of the crumbling of their carefully constructed media empire.

As the cracks start to show in Harry and Markle’s media endeavors, their future hangs in the balance.

On the other hand, the Duke of Sussex’s high court battle to hire police protection is expected to cost taxpayers more than one million pounds.

The bill has already hit 502,236 pounds, and his appeal against a court decision last month is set to cost an additional 500,000 pounds.

The court ruled it would set an unwanted precedent to allow millionaires to fund their own police protection.

As a result, Harry will have to fork out some court costs, but only 10,000 pounds.

A Freedom of Information request showed that the case has cost the state 492,000 pounds, with Harry paying the other 10,000 pounds.

The Duke had claimed it was unfair and illegal to remove his armed guard when he visits the UK.

The Home Office and Metropolitan Police both argued it was not in the public interest to protect him.

According to The Sun, the Home Office cannot get the costs back due to an unspecified loophole.

Both Harry and Meghan stepped down as working royals three and a half years ago.

It remains to be seen whether they can salvage their media empire or if it will crumble under the weight of unmet expectations.
