Meghan's podcast has been scrapped by Spotify after one series

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing a "disaster", with future projects set for failure, royal experts claim.

After Meghan's Archetypes podcast was scrapped by Spotify following just one series, some have suggested that the couple's empire is "crumbling".


Royal expert Angela Levin has said any future projects between the couple will be "a disaster".

"Their value isn't as high as it once was," she told The Sun Online.

Expert Richard Fitzwilliams also blasted the end of the Spotify deal as a "shocking failure".

He added: "The idea was that several series would be produced. Since only one was, there's no doubt the contract could be considered a failure. Clearly this relationship hasn't been as mutually beneficial."

The couple's content creation label, Archewell Audio, confirmed in a joint statement with Spotify that the podcast would be axed.

It read: "Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together."

Levin said it was a sign the couple's empire is "crumbling". She added: "People are fed up with them now."

It comes after it was claimed Harry and Meghan won't be doing anymore tell-all interviews because "there's nothing left to say".

One insider said: “That period of their life is over — as there is nothing left to say.”

Instead the Sussexes are thought to only feature behind the Netflix cameras, with an interest in making "fun" flicks including romcoms for Netflix.

Levin blasted the "disastrous idea", as she said: "There was a statement from them that they were no longer going to talk about the Royal Family and now want to stay behind the camera but that's a disaster.

"No one's interested in the producer or editor; they want the star. If they put themselves behind the camera there'll be less interest.

"I also don't think Meghan knows how to do that so she'll need help, and people find her difficult to work for."

Fitzwilliams claimed Harry and Meghan will have to produce more for Netflix to stop their empire "crumbling".

He added: "Losing Spotify is a huge blow. How hard we'll have to wait and see.

"The collapse of the Spotify deal puts under the microscope the three deals they've got - Netflix and Random House. They've done remarkably little for Netflix."
