There is always a fine line between what we tend to showcase the world and what the world perceives of it on its own. And often there is a misalignment between them, which reduces everything into the nothingness of an abyss. Similar is the case with the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. After having given up on their UK Sovereigns, the self-exiled couple went out to venture their own business ideas to foster their lavish lifestyle across the pond. However, what they tried to show their audience was soon mistaken for a ‘money-making agenda’ which has now reached the saturation point for some.

Commenting on their back-to-back bombshells on the royal family that stripped open their darkest secrets, Tom Bower told the Scottish Daily Express that things have gone past limits. The royal biographer is no new a critic of the Duchess. In his series of consecutive backlashes at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Tom Bower this time said, the California royals “went too far” with their attacks on their estranged family. Labeling their multi-million deals with the media giants “a struggle” Bower said it was all done to keep themselves “reputable”

Of course, the Oprah Winfrey interview jibes are forever here to haunt the couple. Speaking of the same, Tom Bower criticized them for their deal fallout with Spotify. Citing the unhappy splits, Bower claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not started to get the taste of their own medicine. “They’re constantly having to defend themselves and they’re grasping for opportunities that don’t exist anymore,” he concluded. 

The brand fallout debacle, however, has definitely not done much to add to the reputation of the couple. 

Why did Spotify cancel the deal with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry?

The Duchess of Sussex garnered much love and support through her revolutionary podcast, Archetypes. Adding to it, she also had some glass-breaking records to register for herself. With views surpassing any other podcast on the platform, Archetypes won the Best Podcast at the People’s Choice Awards of 2022. However, despite the skyrocketing success, Archetypes with Meghan Markle stumbled upon its face. 

Spotify and Archewell Audios announced that they have mutually decided to part ways with each other. Although reports cited the lack of content for the scrapping up of the deal, the consequences went out of hand with the podcast department head Bill Simmons, labeling them as “f*cking grifters”.
