An Archewell Audio spokesperson confirmed to The Hollywood
Reporter that the decision was made following conversations with Spotify
executives regarding the streaming service provider's misinformation policies
and practices.
The new development confirms that the royals will continue
their partnership with the streaming giant.
The podcast is long overdue. Spotify signed a deal with the
royal's production, Archewell Audio, in December 2020.
Since ceasing royal duties and moving to California in 2020,
the couple have launched various creative ventures, and begun legal actions
against British tabloids over privacy violations.
They signed a deal with streaming giant Netflix in September
to produce "impactful" films and series, while Markle, a former
television actress, narrated a wildlife documentary on Disney+.
Spotify has previously signed celebrity podcasters including
Barack and Michelle Obama, and Kim Kardashian West.
The company did not say how much the deal with the royals
was worth.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a statement that
"what we love about podcasting is that it reminds all of us to take a
moment and to really listen".
