In a recent turn of events, Prince Harry has been in the news for his absurd podcast ideas.

Meghan Markle may have hosted only one podcast, Archetypes, under their failed $20 million Spotify deal, but it seems that Prince Harry had his own ideas for shows.

However, these ideas did not impress producers and may have contributed to the company’s decision to part ways with the couple.

On Thursday, Harry met with several producers and production houses to brainstorm show concepts.

He was reportedly the biggest fan of his own ideas, including a podcast about childhood trauma with a slew of controversial big-shot guests.

However, the practicality of these ideas struck some people in the Harry podcast cosmos as questionable at best given that people like Putin and Zuckerberg rarely give wide-ranging interviews about the topics they’re passionate about, let alone about their upbringings and personal childhood traumas.

Harry reportedly also pitched a podcast centered around fatherhood as well as another that would explore societal conversations ranging from climate change to religion.

He allegedly envisioned Pope Francis as the perfect guest to dissect the later topic.

However, it seems that none of his ideas came to fruition.

It sounds like Harry was eager to do his own shows but none of his ideas came to fruition.

Harry and Meghan’s heads are inflated like balloons.

They really think they’re equals on the world stage, as if world leaders would want to have a sit down and spill their so-called life traumas to the spare and or the scarecrow who have ruined their reputations themselves doing the very same thing.

The report also provides a backdrop to last week’s surprising outburst by fellow Spotify podcaster Bill Simmons who took to his eponymous show to call Harry and Meghan grifters.

Simmons, a former sports writer and founder of the Ringer podcast network, suggested that he and an absurd Zoom meeting with Harry all together to help him formulate his podcast ideas.

Back in January 2023, Simmons also said on the podcast that he was so embarrassed to be on Spotify with Harry.

He said that the only way the Duke can get attention is to write a book or to give interviews dishing about his unhappy life in the British royal family.

It’s one of those things where it’s like, where’s your talent?

Simmons said on the podcast in January.

Why are we listening to you?

So you were born in a royal family and then you left?

You saw documentaries and podcasts and nobody cares.

Nobody cares what you have to say about anything unless you talk about the royal family and then you just complain about them.

Notably, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have suffered a fresh blow as US officials refused to grant them a trademark on their Archetypes podcast.

Now the US Patent and Trademark Office has refused to grant a trademark for the Archetypes podcast on the grounds of confusion with an existing Arizonian company.

It seems that Prince Harry’s podcast ideas may have been a contributing factor to the end of their Spotify deal.

While he may have had grand ideas, the practicality of these ideas was questionable at best.

It remains to be seen if Prince Harry will try to launch his own podcast or if he will move on to other endeavors.
