Meghan and Harry, Duchess and Duke of Sussex in December last year produced a 35-minute holiday special podcast episode – and the only one so far of the couple’s £18million deal with Spotify. The audio streaming giant has now hinted at the possibility something new may come soon.

At the end of 2020, artists including Sir Elton John, Deepak Chopra and James Corden joined Prince Harry, 37, and Meghan, 40, in their first podcast episode.

It was put together with Spotify’s Gimlet Studios and saw the light on December 15.

But that was it for the year ahead.

The Duke and Duchess said in a joint statement after signing the deal with Spotify: “What we love about podcasting is that it reminds all of us to take a moment and to really listen, to connect to one another without distraction.

“When we hear each other, and hear each other’s stories, we are reminded of how interconnected we all are.”

The audio streaming company last year announced it was expected a “full-scale launch of shows” from the Sussexes throughout 2021.

A press release read: “Archewell Audio will leverage Spotify’s global reach— with 144 million Premium subscribers and 320 million monthly active users —to spotlight powerful and diverse voices and perspectives.

“In 2021, The Duke and Duchess will produce and host podcasts that build community through shared experiences and values.

“The first complete series from Archewell Audio and Spotify is expected next year and will be available to stream for free on Spotify.”

However, the rollout has not been as anticipated.

Considering Meghan and Harry have only put out one episode, it is calculated each minute of it has cost the streaming company £500,000.

In March this year, in a hopeful move, the couple announced they were hiring producer Ben Browning as head of content for Archewell Productions and Archewell Audio.

Mr Browning said in a statement to Forbes: “From the moment they shared their vision for Archewell as a global production company that will spotlight diverse voices and share uplifting stories, I knew I wanted to help with this unique opportunity.

“It’s a thrilling company to be starting.”

Then, in August, they took on podcast producer Rebecca Sanaes as their head of audio.

Spotify said on Monday: “Big things are coming. Stay tuned.”

Archewell’s veteran in-house team and the audio giant’s promising statement suggest the Sussexes have something in the works.
