According to reports, it appears that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet might have played a role in Harry and Meghan's Spotify deal before it came crashing down.
The lucrative agreement between the Sussexes and the streaming giant was abruptly terminated after just one season of Meghan's Archetypes podcast. While Meghan fulfilled her part of the deal, Harry failed to produce any content of his own.
However, sources suggest that Harry pitched multiple ideas to the producers, and one of them involved his own children. Allegedly, Harry proposed an episode on fatherhood, where he would share his personal experiences raising his two children, four-year-old Archie and two-year-old Lilibet. It seemed like a plausible topic, as fatherhood is a universal experience that resonates with many.
But there's more to the story. Bloomberg reports that Harry primarily stuck to his own ideas after discussions with various producers and production houses. Some of his other pitches, however, raised eyebrows and were considered controversial.
One such idea was to interview public figures like Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump about their childhood and upbringing. This raised questions, considering these figures rarely grant interviews or delve into their personal lives.
In another audacious move, Harry aimed to engage in a conversation with Pope Francis about religion. While these ambitious ideas were intriguing, they were short-lived as the Spotify deal abruptly ended last week. In a joint statement with Spotify, the couple's company, Archewell, announced the mutual decision to part ways, expressing pride in the series they had created together.
But the challenges keep coming for the royal couple. It has been reported that Netflix, their other major streaming partner, has issued a stern warning, demanding that Harry and Meghan come up with "good ideas" if they want to continue their partnership.
So far, the couple has only delivered their tell-all docuseries, 'Harry and Meghan'. However, they recently announced a shift towards a more behind-the-scenes role and a departure from such documentaries.
A source revealed that while there are no plans for a public fallout, the future of their Netflix partnership hinges on their ability to generate innovative and captivating content. The magnitude of their deal requires constant review and the delivery of truly exceptional ideas.
The pressure is on for Harry and Meghan as their streaming ventures hang in the balance. Will they rise to the challenge and produce the groundbreaking content that Netflix demands? Or will their creative endeavors fall flat, jeopardizing their partnership?
