In a surprising turn of events at Spotify’s office, tensions rose as Princess Beatrice seemingly taunted Meghan, labeling her a talentless grifter.
The clash stemmed from Spotify executive Bill Simmons’ scathing remarks towards Harry and Meghan, accusing them of being mere opportunists despite their hefty £18 million deal with the streaming service.
The decision to terminate the contract, however, did not deter Spotify from engaging with members of the royal family.
While Harry and Meghan faced backlash for producing only 12 episodes under their lucrative deal, Princess Beatrice appeared to be making strides in a quieter partnership with Spotify.
Recent reports by the Daily Mail unveiled Beatrice’s involvement in an industry event held at Spotify’s London office.
Leading a discussion on technology’s future alongside notable figures like Priya Dogra and Sakshi Kabra Mittal, Beatrice showcased her expertise in the field.
Notably, Beatrice has been serving as the vice president of partnerships and strategy at a US software and data firm since 2017.
Additionally, she founded a science-based meal delivery service under the unassuming alias Beatrice York in 2022.
In contrast, Harry and Meghan’s podcasting journey hit a roadblock when their Spotify contract was terminated after failing to meet expectations following just one season of Meghan’s Archetypes podcast.
The fallout from the deal’s end saw United Talent Agency CEO Jeremy Zimmer questioning Meghan’s talent and professionalism, contrasting her with Princess Beatrice’s educational background and experience.
Sources within Spotify highlighted Meghan’s alleged unprofessional behavior, citing last-minute demands and delays in content production as recurring issues.
Despite having ample resources and support at her disposal, Meghan’s struggles to deliver quality content have raised eyebrows within the industry.
Lemonada’s recent announcement of a delayed podcast launch further fueled speculation about Meghan’s commitment to her projects.
The decision to relaunch Spotify episodes in 2025 has left many questioning the relevance of aged content in today’s fast-paced media landscape.
As the spotlight shifts towards Meghan’s future endeavors, doubts linger over her ability to sustain audience interest and generate revenue.
With Lemonada’s pay-per-view model adding another layer of uncertainty to her ventures, Meghan’s track record of shifting focus from one project to another raises concerns about her long-term success in the industry.
Amidst speculations surrounding potential collaborations with streaming giants like Netflix and Paramount, Meghan’s next move remains a topic of intrigue and skepticism.
