Spotify are said to be taking Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Archwell podcast “into their own hands” as the pair have failed to produce new content for it for more than a year. It was announced in December 2020 that the former Royals had signed a whopping £18 million deal with the music streaming giant, which promised to “uplift audiences around the world”.
However, over a year on from the announcement, Meghan and Harry are yet to release new content, which fans of the couple hoped would drop last year. With this in mind, Spotify are now said to be hiring content producers in the hopes of helping the duo finally release some podcast episodes.
One advert for a senior producer role at Gimlet Projects, which describes itself as being “part of the Spotify family”, reads: "We’re currently assembling a show team that will build and launch a new original show with Archewell featuring the voices of high profile women. "The ideal candidate has experience working with high-profile talent, and an interest in the intersection of social activism and popular culture." To date, the couple only have two episodes on the Archewell Audio Spotify page: a two minute-long teaser, and a Holiday especial aired late December 2020 that featured the likes of Stacey Abrams, Elton John, Naomi Osaka, James Corden and Tyler Perry.
At the time of their podcast announcement in 2020, Meghan and Harry gushed about their “passion for meeting people” – something which they said their project “was all about”. Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter.
