Prince Harry found himself at the center of attention once again, this time for his ambitious plans to revamp a classic TV quiz show.
The Duke, along with his wife Megan, is reportedly considering taking on the iconic Quizmaster role in a rebooted version of the popular ITV program, Bullseye.
This unexpected move comes hot on the heels of their recent fallout with Spotify over their podcast deal.
The couple, no longer part of the royal family, faced a setback when their Megabooks podcast deal with Spotify was abruptly terminated due to underwhelming performance.
Undeterred by this setback, Harry is now convinced that a modernized version of Bullseye could be their ticket to success.
Instead of traditional prizes like speedboats, the couple envisions offering unique experiences like a healing weekend in a yurt.
According to a close source, Harry and Megan recognize the need to maintain a public presence to combat negative perceptions fueled by societal biases.
Harry’s bold idea to remake Bullseye has raised eyebrows in entertainment circles, with some industry insiders expressing skepticism about the couple’s ability to pull off such a venture.
One senior executive quipped, “Harry hosting Bullseye?
That’s a spectacle worth watching.”
However, not everyone is sold on the idea.
Speculation that Megan might assume the role of calling out scores on the show has stirred controversy, particularly among purists like Tony Green, who expressed doubts about her suitability for the role.
Critics have been quick to point out Megan’s perceived shortcomings, citing her alleged lack of charm, humor, and wit required for hosting a TV show.
Concerns about her demanding demeanor behind the scenes have also surfaced, painting a less flattering picture of the former Duchess.
Despite these criticisms, the couple is under pressure to deliver a hit following their podcast misstep.
Spotify’s top podcast executive publicly criticized Harry and Megan for their lackluster podcast output, signaling a rocky end to their partnership.
Bill Simmons, a key figure at Spotify, did not mince words in his assessment of the couple’s performance, hinting at potential challenges ahead for Megan’s career aspirations in the media industry.
Royal expert Hilary Fordwich cautioned that Megan’s success outside the royal family sphere could be hindered if she strays too far from her established brand.
As the couple navigates this critical juncture in their post-royal endeavors, the spotlight remains firmly fixed on their next move.
