Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had quite an embarrassing last year
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s reputations have been left in tatters after they were branded “grits” by a Spotify executive following the axing of their deal with the streaming platform.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were dealt a major blow in the summer of 2023 when Spotify announced the end of their $20 million deal.
Speaking to Closer, royal writer Tom Bower argued that the embarrassment will have a long-term effect on the former royals’ future deals.
“Of course they lost their big contract with Spotify — one of the big contracts that would have clearly been their foundation of fame,” he shared.
“The ‘grifters’ line has tarnished them for life,” the royal expert added, referring to Bill Simmons, Spotify’s head of podcast innovation and monetization, who has since been axed.
On his podcast, he claimed at the time: “I wish I had been involved in the ‘Meghan and Harry leave Spotify’ negotiation. “The F Grifters”.
He added: “This is the podcast we should have started with them.”
