Archewell Audio and Spotify have officially announced the end of their partnership, as confirmed in a statement issued by the content creation label owned by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The statement revealed that Meghan Markle hosted the podcast Archetypes, which aired for 12 episodes starting in August 2022. During the show, Meghan engaged in conversations with notable guests such as Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton, Mindy Kaling, and Constance Wu, diving into the history of stereotypes faced by women. The joint statement expressed mutual pride for the series created during their collaboration.
In late 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle secured a lucrative deal with Spotify to produce and host podcasts, estimated to be valued at $25 million (£18 million). However, their collaboration with the audio streaming giant has now come to an end after one season of Meghan’s podcast.

In December, Archetypes received the top podcast award at the People’s Choice Awards in Los Angeles, further highlighting its success.
Reflecting on the experience, Meghan expressed her enthusiasm for the creative process and deep conversations shared with diverse and inspiring guests. However, recent reports suggest that the Sussexes will no longer pursue tell-all Netflix documentaries, publish memoirs, or participate in interviews about the royal family, as they believe there is nothing more to disclose. The couple’s representatives have been approached for comment on this matter.
Since stepping back from their royal duties in 2020 and relocating to California, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have engaged in various high-profile endeavors. This includes their widely talked-about interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, the release of a Netflix docuseries titled Harry & Meghan in January 2023, and Prince Harry’s controversial memoir Spare. However, a source suggests that the couple’s visibility phase has come to an end, and they hope for the upcoming year to be focused on reconciliation with the royal family.
