While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's partnership with Spotify ends in disappointment, Princess Beatrice quietly gains traction on the platform, signaling a potential triumph without the fanfare.
Amidst criticism from Spotify executive Bill Simmons, who labeled Harry and Meghan as 'grifters' for their limited podcast output despite a substantial £18 million deal, Princess Beatrice takes a different approach, focusing on substance over hype.
Despite Spotify severing ties with the former royals, the company remains invested in royal connections, evident from Princess Beatrice's recent appearance at a Spotify industry event in London. Hosting a discussion on the future of technology, Beatrice's understated presence contrasts sharply with her cousins' high-profile endeavors.
In contrast to Harry and Meghan's canceled contract after just one season of the Archetypes podcast, Beatrice's partnership with Spotify appears to be on a steady trajectory. The cancellation reportedly stemmed from the Sussexes' failure to meet productivity expectations, highlighting the disparity between hype and delivery.
Jeremy Zimmer, CEO of United Talent Agency, did not mince words in his assessment, suggesting that Meghan Markle's talents did not translate well into the audio medium. This contrast further underscores Beatrice's quiet yet promising success in the realm of podcasting.
