Stick a fork in the Sussex brand?

The Spotify deal’s demise is significant on its own. It comes as the couple’s mega-Netflix deal similarly faces strong headwinds. The contract in question promised “documentaries, docu-series, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming,” according to The New York Times.

One of those projects, a woke children’s show dubbed “Pearl,” got the axe last year as part of the streamer’s unwillingness to throw cash at shows unlikely to draw eyeballs.

More recently, we learned the Netflix deal in question may expire without a renewal, according to The Sun. The couple’s docuseries “Harry & Meghan,” proved a pop culture sensation, though, so those reports may be premature.

The fact that Spotify let the couple off the hook, and people are able to speak up about them without worrying about a Piers-sized blowback, suggests the royal brand is in free fall.
