Royal Family News – Are Harry And Meghan Working?
Pauline Maclaren is a Professor of Marketing and Consumer Research in the School of Management at Royal Holloway and she is calling bull on the royal runaways.
She told Express UK, “It does seem that Harry and Meghan may have over-extended themselves in terms of the Netflix and Spotify deals, although, of course, we have to recognise that producing content does not just happen overnight and high-quality programmes will take many months/years to generate.”
“However, they do seem to be involved in so much at present – building a media empire with insufficient foundations – that it’s hard to see where their focus really lies.”

She went on to say, “Certainly, there is a lot of doubt now surrounding their abilities to produce content at the level and quality required for both media outlets.” And that is an understatement. What they “produced” for all of 30 minutes for Spotify was a lot of giggles and a bunch of famous friends saying ‘hi.’ That is not sustainable for subscribers who expect entertainment and/or education for their dollars, nor is it sufficient for Spotify itself.
Royal Family News: What Will the Sussexes Do Next?
To be fair, the Markle’s have been more than willing to show up for photo ops and shill their wares—they just haven’t given back in kind. Still, there is hope that Harry manages to eke out a memoir this year, courtesy of a ghost writer—so does that count? Don’t look now, Harry and Meghan, your 15 minutes expired half an hour ago.

Why on earth would any firm think these two could produce anything remotely interesting or even semi-professional?
Why give anyone a chunk of money up front, its not like it was small change! I don't know how much talent this pair has or hasn't but I do know people would be more motivated if they got the bulk of their pay on completion of a satisfactory project. If the powers that be have been fooled over greedily thinking they snapped up an royal opportunity then that's on these company's, because who would turn down an offer of millions handed up front. However decent people would at least try to make an effort to produce something or it is basically stealing.
