Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan always seem to form a unit as a couple and parents of two children. However, the 41-year-old may be planning to break away from her husband on a professional basis.
Ever since Prince Harry, 38, and Duchess Meghan, 41, stepped down as senior royals in 2020, they have worked closely together professionally – be it on the Oprah interview, their Netflix documentary “Harry & Meghan” or at the Archewell Foundation. Will Meghan shelve the collaboration with her husband in the future? According to a Royal expert, this is conceivable, especially after the Spotify deal broke.
Duchess Meghan: New chapter without Prince Harry?
“Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we’ve made together,” Spotify and the Sussexes said in a joint statement. A representative from WME, the artist agency that Duchess Meghan signed to earlier this year, told the Wall Street Journal that her podcast will continue “on a different platform.” According to Royal expert Daniela Elser, after this announcement everything looks as if Meghan now wants to put on “her own one-woman show”, she emphasizes to “news.com.au”.
Because the Duchess of Sussex has “a new super agent” and the offers are currently “flowing in”. “It looks very much like the couple is going really different career paths for the first time,” she said. Prince Harry is currently busy with the upcoming Netflix documentary Heart of Invictus. As a result, King Charles’ son, 74, would have little time to work with Meghan while her advisors “plan their next chapter.”
Netflix commented on negative headlines
Shortly before, rumors circulated that Harry and Meghan had only received half of their contractually agreed remuneration for their documentary of the same name. It is said that the payment of the outstanding fee was made conditional on the delivery of further content. A spokesman for the streaming service has already spoken out in this regard.
“The association with Archewell Productions is one that we appreciate very much. ‘Harry & Meghan’ was Netflix’s most spectacular documentary debut to date. Our exciting journey with them won’t end anytime soon. We are currently working on numerous projects including this highly anticipated one Documentary series ‘Heart of Invictus’,” the Netflix spokesman told Entertainment Tonight. The future will show whether Meghan will realize her own project on Netflix. It also remains to be seen what will develop from the numerous offers and what exactly Meghan’s next chapter will look like.
