Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may not receive the full £ 18million from Spotify. The reason being the lack of popularity of the podcast produced so far.
Last year, Spotify announced full support of the couple throughout the year 2021. What had done the buzz with £ 18 million at stake for Meghan and Harry. Only the Sussexes could do not touch the entire amount altogether. The reason ? A poor analysis of the popularity of the duke and duchess from Sussex. Indeed, the streaming platform could only produceonly one 35 minute podcast episode so far.
Podcasts would be less popular than Spotify and the royal couple had it planned according to Ian Penman, a lawyer specializing in music distribution contracts. “It wouldn’t be unfair to think that maybe their popularity wasn’t as great as they thought, or that Spotify initially thought it was.“, he confided to Express.co.uk. “I think we can conclude that if Spotify did not exercise the option on the next episode of the podcast, maybe it was that they didn’t have the popularity that Meghan and Harry expected or that Spotify expected, ” he added.
“Harry and Meghan want to do too many things at the same time”
Recall that Archie and Lilibet’s parents sought many chords commercial. This sincethey cut ties with the British royal family. Currently, the Sussexes live in an £ 11million mansion in Montecito, California. “Harry and Meghan want to do too many things at the same time“, says Angela Levin, biographer.
Faced with this situation, Spotify would be mystified about the lack of content produced by the couple. The deal is costing the platform £ 500,000 per minute so far, according to The Sun. However, the lawyer, Penman, explains that Spotify is not necessarily a loser. He claims that it is unlikely that the platform has paid the entire 18 million pounds in advance. She would only have paid a small advance with the retention of the right to withdraw from the contract in case the first episode isn’t popular.
