- Spotify signed a multi-million dollar deal with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in 2020.
- The deal was seen as a major coup for Spotify, but it has not yet paid off.
- The podcast, “Archetypes,” has not yet been released.
Spotify’s big bet on Meghan Markle has fallen flat. The company signed a multi-million dollar deal with the Duchess of Sussex in 2020, but the podcast that was supposed to be the centerpiece of the deal has not yet been released.
There are a few reasons why the deal may have fallen short of expectations. First, Markle and Prince Harry have been relatively quiet since they left the royal family in 2020. They have not released any major projects, and their public profile has been relatively low.
Second, the podcast format is not as popular as it once was. In the past few years, there has been a decline in the number of people who listen to podcasts. This may have made it more difficult for Spotify to attract listeners to Markle’s podcast.
Third, the name of the podcast, “Archetypes,” may have been off-putting to some listeners. The name suggests that the podcast will be about gender stereotypes, which is a topic that some people may not be interested in.
It is still too early to say whether the Meghan Markle podcast will be a success. However, the fact that it has not yet been released is a sign that the deal may not have been as successful as Spotify had hoped.
