End of Spotify Collaboration and Plans for New Content

The couple recently decided to end their collaboration with Spotify, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. Their podcast, Archetypes, which featured illustrious guests such as Mariah Carey, Mindy Kaling, and Serena Williams, will not return for a second season. The podcast’s objective was to “investigate, dissect, and subvert the labels that try to hold women back.” However, a source claims that the couple did not produce enough content to warrant a multi-million-dollar payout.

Despite this, it appears that Prince Harry and Meghan have other plans in the works. A source informed The Wall Street Journal that Meghan is developing more content for the Archetypes audience on another platform.
