Prince Harry & Meghan Launch Podcast Power‑Move with Spotify
The Big Deal
Prince Harry and Meghan have teamed up with Spotify to bring their voices to millions of ears worldwide. The duo’s new venture, Archewell Audio, will create fresh podcasts that aim to uplift, entertain, and showcase a diverse range of perspectives.
What’s Inside the Pod
The podcasts promise to be heart‑warming and community‑building. The first episode will celebrate the holidays with stories that inspire kindness and optimism as we usher in 2024.
“People love podcasting because it encourages us to pause, truly listen, and connect without screens pulling us apart,” the Duke and Duchess said together.“During the unprecedented challenges of 2020, there couldn’t have been a better moment to hear each other and remember how we’re all intertwined.”
How It Fits into Spotify’s Giant Library
Spotify boasts over 1.5 million podcasts—including high‑profile shows like The Michelle Obama Podcast and Mama Knows Best by Addison Rae. With 320 million active users a month, the platform is a perfect launchpad for the Sussex couple’s new audio adventures.
The Bigger Picture
This collaboration is part of a continued shift for Harry & Meghan toward independent ventures—following their 2023 move to Southern California and a fresh, exclusive, multi‑year production agreement for TV content with Netflix earlier this year.
They’ve stepped back from official royal duties, welcomed baby Archie, and now are carving their own path in both media and philanthropy.
