Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in their "flop era" according to Rolling Stone Magazine.
The legendary magazine said the Duke and Duchess are currently enduring a sustained period of failure following their Spotify axe which saw Meghan's Archetypes podcast be cancelled after just one season.
Last month, a joint statement released by the Sussexes and the music streaming giant announced that their deal was coming to an end but the decision had been a "mutual agreement".
However, just days later it was reported that Spotify were apparently not pleased with her lack of output and engagement for the £15m deal which only saw 12 episodes being released, the Scottish Daily Express reports.
The publication said: “Part of the issue the Sussexes are currently facing is that they have made their brand about their beef with the Royal Family.
"Now, their feud has reached a stalemate it feels like there isn’t much more to say.
“The Sussexes are in a difficult position: appetite is waning for content about their rift with the royal institution, because digesting it in so many different formats now feels like overkill.
“But there isn’t much enthusiasm for their other projects, like the Archetypes podcast, which aren’t about that.”
After stepping down from their roles as senior royals in 2020 and moving to the US, the couple became financially independent.
They signed a number of lucrative deals with global-streaming giants including Netflix and launched their own multi-media organisation Archewell.
Jeremy Zimmer, who is chief executive of the United Talent Agency reportedly, told an advertising festival in Cannes what he thought of the Duchess after she was dumped from Spotify.
He said: “Turns out Meghan Markle was not a great audio talent, or necessarily any kind of talent.
“And, you know, just because you’re famous doesn’t make you great at something.”
Following their bombshell interview with US host Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, it was estimated that the Sussexes' deals with Apple, Netflix and Spotify had bagged them over £100m to maintain their new celebrity lifestyles.
Their highly successful docuseries Harry & Meghan which detailed their relationship and departure from the Firm as well as a series of shocking allegations against the Royal Family was at the top of Netflix's "most watched" list for weeks.
This was followed by Prince Harry's controversial memoir Spare which came out in January 2023 and broke world records for becoming the fastest-selling non-fiction book of all time in the UK.
However, their other projects, a bit like their podcast, have not been anywhere near as successful.
It was confirmed last May that Netflix had cancelled the development of the Duchess' new animation series called Pearl that was created by Archewell Productions.
The show planned to focus on influential women in history and Meghan was a co-executive producer on the series alongside Elton John's husband, David Furnish.
