Stefanovic harshly criticizes Harry's book, describing it as boring and unimpressive, while referencing Meghan's lucrative $20 million podcast deal.
"Harry's book is atrocious and just plain boring. I'm still stuck on the fact that he hung his brother out to dry," Stefanovic exclaims. He questions whether Harry is content with making money by tarnishing his own family's reputation and wonders about the toll it takes on his conscience. Stefanovic concludes, "Sounds like a soulless guy."
Despite broken deals, the Sussexes continue to rake in substantial amounts of money, laughing all the way to the bank. However, Stefanovic raises doubts about the longevity of their financial success. In his memoir, Harry labels Prince William as his arch-nemesis, laying bare his deep-seated frustrations and complex feelings towards his older sibling.
Harry openly accuses William of physically assaulting him and suggests that the palace orchestrated negative media stories about Meghan. In a January interview on Good Morning America, Harry admitted to the ongoing competition between the two brothers, which he attributes to their respective positions in the line of succession.
During the same interview, host Michael Strahan questions Harry about referring to his brother as both his beloved sibling and arch-nemesis. Harry responds by acknowledging the long-standing competition between them, speculating that it may have been fueled by the roles they were assigned within the royal hierarchy.
Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Harry's Spotify podcast, "Archewell Audio," will not be renewed for a second season. The streaming giant and the Sussexes released a joint statement expressing mutual agreement to part ways while expressing pride in the series they produced together.
Meanwhile, Bill Simmons, the head of podcast innovation and monetization at Spotify, criticizes Harry and Meghan in his own podcast episode, calling them "effing grifters." He shares his frustrations and recounts a Zoom meeting he had with Harry, attempting to assist him with his podcast idea. Prince and Manuel Filiberto of Savoy also weigh in on Harry's situation, expressing some sympathy for his struggles but emphasizing the importance of keeping private matters within families.
In January, Harry spoke with ITV's Tom Bradby about his mission to reform the UK media landscape, which he considers his life's work. He cites ongoing legal battles as a significant motivation behind his endeavor. However, a recent Newsweek poll of 1,500 Americans revealed that nearly half of the respondents stated that Harry's media campaign was irrelevant to them, and 34% claimed to know nothing about the case at all.
This data suggests that Harry may need to recognize that his campaign, which he deemed his life's work, might not resonate strongly with Americans. It appears that Americans prioritize a life marked by genuine freedom, including the right to free speech, a value that Harry seems to detest. Perhaps it is time for him to reconsider his plans.
