Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s next venture could, reportedly, be in a music streaming platform.
According to Woman’s Day, Spotify reached out to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and offered them to launch their own podcast.
The news came just days after Prince Harry and Markle inked a deal with Netflix. They will, reportedly, be producing inspirational shows for the streaming giant.
However, not everyone is happy for all the opportunities that the Sussexes have been receiving.
“These deals have almost tipped some of the wearier Buckingham Palace aides over the edge. The last thing they need is Meghan finding yet more platforms to make strange public comments and sneaky barbs they’ll have to report back to the queen – and worse, Prince William,” the source said.
The insider also claimed that what the royal family feared is slowly unfolding before their very eyes.
“Exactly what they feared is happening – Meghan would marry Harry, leave with him and use her newfound fame to self-promote,” the source said.
Meanwhile, there have been several controversies surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s recent deal with Netflix.
According to Express, Queen Elizabeth may force Prince Harry and Markle to pay her back immediately after she learned about the deal.
While speaking with Sky News, royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills said the request to get her money back may take place anytime this week.
“I think the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's hands have been forced this week after it was announced that they'd signed that enormous deal with Netflix. Neither Netflix nor Sussexes have said how much money they're making from that deal but it's estimated it could be around £100 million. So, if they're bringing in that money, it makes sense that they're going to pay this money back to the taxpayer for this home that they still want to keep here in the UK,” she said.
Mills also said that ever year, the royal finances are released to the public. And one of the things that stood out last year was the cost of renovations of Frogmore Cottage.
“The reason that people again started talking about just how much money it cost to refurbish it was because at the start of the year Harry and Meghan announced they wanted to step away from royal duties,” she said.
