Daily US Times: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have signed a deal with streaming service Spotify to produce and host podcasts.
The couple’s charity will receive an undisclosed sum from the partnership between their production company, Archewell Audio, and Spotify.
In a trailer, Prince Harry and Megan Markle promised “different perspectives” and interviews with “amazing people”.
It comes after the couple signed a Netflix deal this year to produce a range of programmes and series.
Their first podcast is due for release during the Christmas period and is described as a holiday special.
The trailer on Spotify’s website features the duchess and duke promoting the deal, with Harry saying: “That’s what this project is all about, to bring forward different perspectives and voices that perhaps you haven’t heard before and find our common ground.”
Meghan said about the first podcast episode: “We’re talking to some amazing people, they’re going to share their memories that have really helped shape this past year which has been, as we know, a difficult one for everyone.”
“So many people have been through so much pain this year, experiencing loss, a huge amount of uncertainty,” Prince Harry said, adding ”but it feels worth acknowledging that 2020 has connected us in ways we could have never imagined, through endless acts of compassion and kindness.”
Harry and Meghan are now living in California after announcing in January that they would be stepping back as senior royals.
