Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been branded "f***ing grifters" by a top Spotify executive after their Archetypes podcast was axed. The Duke and Duchess' podcast only ran for one series and will not be renewed after the couple secured an estimated £18m deal late in 2020.
It is believed the Sussexes could lost £8million due to no longer producing content for the digital music streaming giant, the Mirror reports. In a podcast episode on Friday, Bill Simmons, Head of Podcast Innovation and Monetisation at Spotify, hit out at the couple.
He said: "The f***ing grifters. That's the podcast we should have launched with them. I've got to get drunk one night and tell the story of the Zoom I had with Harry to try and help him with a podcast idea. It's one of my best stories."
