Professional Roadblocks

The couple has encountered some professional roadblocks, particularly in the entertainment industry. The Wall Street Journal revealed that Harry and Meghan ended their podcasting deal with Spotify. Additionally, there would not be a second season of their podcast, Archetypes, which aimed to investigate, dissect, and subvert the labels that try to hold women back.

Rolling Stone Magazine dubbed their apparent “flop era” as they reportedly lost lucrative deals with the streaming giant, Spotify. The couple’s perceived “period of failure” was partly due to their branding, which focused on their disagreements with the royal family. The well of royal drama seemingly running dry, the couple may struggle to maintain relevance and public interest.

Displeased Spotify

It has been reported that Spotify was displeased with Prince Harry and Meghan’s lack of engagement for their £15 million (R357 million) deal. This development is notable as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as working members of the royal family in 2020 to pursue personal and professional opportunities outside the monarchy.

In conclusion, the personal lives of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle remain the subject of speculation and conjecture. However, it is evident that the couple has faced some professional hurdles in recent times. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex must continually adapt and evolve to maintain their relevance and impact. With their passion, talent, and a commitment to effecting positive change, there is no doubt that they will continue to make headlines and forge their unique path outside the confines of the British royal family.

Airbnb Under Fire: How Cape Town’s Housing Crunch Became a Tourism Blame-Game

The real problem is that not enough homes are being built, and lots of new people are moving to the city. Getting building permits takes forever, making homes expensive. Airbnb brings in lots of money and jobs, and even if all Airbnbs disappeared, it wouldn’t fix the big housing shortage. The city needs to build more homes and make it easier to do so, not just point fingers at tourists.
