Spotify’s decision to pull the plug on Harry and Meghan’s twenty million dollar podcast deal has come as no surprise to those working within the royal family.

Royal courtiers had long thought that the Sussexes were entitled, lazy, and afraid of hard work.

Now, Spotify bosses have reached the same conclusion and shown Harry that he won’t be paid millions simply for being an arrogant prince.

Bill Simmons, Spotify’s boss, called Harry and Meghan “effing grifters” after the collapse of their podcast deal.

This term, uniquely American, means someone who engages in small-scale swindling.

Courtiers never used this term during the three painful years the Sussexes were officially part of the monarchy.

However, similar phrases were used because the couple found so many ways to blame everyone else for their problems except themselves.

Entitled, rude, lazy, delusional, and afraid of hard work are just some of the phrases that popped up between members of the Sussex Survivors Club on a regular basis.

Harry and Meghan searched for reasons to get out of public service commitments that they didn’t believe would benefit them directly.

The culmination was the now-infamous moment in Fiji on a rare royal tour where Megan said she should be paid for this kind of work.

Megan had a reputation for being a difficult diva, even as a Z-list actress in the moderately successful US TV show Suits.

A director who once worked with her on a movie said she was the worst actress he had ever had the displeasure of having to manage.

She made a host of ridiculous and unreasonable travel and personal demands.

In the beginning, Spotify was happy to pay for this kind of behavior when they first signed Harry and Meghan to the deal in 2020.

Unproven as broadcasters, their name was more than enough to help burnish the company’s podcast business, of which over a billion dollars was being invested.

Spotify did everything they could to make Harry and Meghan happy, even capitulating when the two of them started to complain about their biggest podcasting success, Joe Rogan, by launching a COVID-19 misinformation policy.

Creating podcasts requires hard work, and that’s an idea that Harry and Meghan are allergic to, apparently.

It’s not down to the mind’s level manual labor, but it’s a regular commitment to doing research, planning, recording, and overseeing post-production on episodes of a number of shows to build up a loyal following.

For example, Rogan works personally on multiple episodes a week for well over an hour per episode.

But the news came out last year that Megan was not even prepared to interview some of her guests.

New Yorker Allison Mierow, who appeared on the episode “To Be or Not to Be” about the word “bitch,” admitted that she was not interviewed by Megan Markle.

She was interviewed by one of the many producers instead of Megan herself.

The failure of this deal came out so publicly, suggesting that it must have been horrible behind the scenes.

Bill Simmons, one of the world’s most famous podcasters, called Harry and Meghan the equivalent of swindlers.

Essentially, he was the guy tasked with making their deal work commercially.

The most insane thing is that Harry couldn’t even find it in himself to make a single podcast episode or series in exchange for his part of the millions being pumped into his bank account.

Harry claims that he is so sincere in his wish to change the world, but he failed to come up with a single idea of content to inspire or entertain people.

After all, Harry knows many famous people, and it seems like a lot of people would at the very least be open to his desire for them to appear on his show.

But as we saw when Harry came under cross-examination in his mirror phone hacking case earlier this month and couldn’t produce a single scrap of evidence for his costly claims, Harry’s default setting these days is Mr.

Miserable.

This is all pretty disastrous for Harry and Meghan’s dream of living this A-list California lifestyle like Oprah or Ellen without any of the work that actually both of those women put in five days a week, probably even six or seven days a week sometimes to build their fortune.

Hollywood was open to Harry, but he failed to grasp the fact that he wasn’t just going to be paid tens of millions of dollars because he was a prince.

That would go against the whole principle of the American dream.

Now apparently, Netflix is thinking of ending its deal with Megan and Harry as well.

This truly is a cautionary tale of why spoiled bratty royals are always going to struggle to be successful in the real world.

And it also seems that Archwell has been exposed as a fallen arch at this point.

So any money held in that bank should be frozen while IRS does an investigation.

When Megan and Harry first got married, the Queen was hopeful that the two of them would be able to live up to the impeccable Windsor reputation of serving the people and giving public donations to worthy causes.

That was why she gave Harry the HRH dukedom.

The Disney directors really believed what Harry said when Megan did voiceover work, that she was going to immediately donate that money.

They believed this whole arrangement was an act of humanitarianism.

However, when Megan did not follow through, Disney honored their commitment by donating even more money, three million dollars to the elephant fund.

But did Megan declare her three million dollars to the IRS as charity?

Probably not.

Megan failed to honor Disney’s trust as the title duchess, and so that required the company to double dip.

She is not welcome at their studio, and royal titles don’t change a thing when you prove to be untrustworthy.

Most of the money from the Netherlands event for the Invictus Games was spent on Megan’s hideous designer clothes, including expensive jewelry and private jets.

And what about the 200,000 pounds that Harry transferred from Invictus into his self-funded enterprise, Travelist?

Now that William deposited a million pounds into Invictus, what is going to happen with that money?

This is a cautionary tale of why it’s essential to work hard and not rely on entitlement.

Harry and Meghan must learn that they cannot just coast through life and expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.
