Prince Harry's Rep Releases Statement on Private Hotel Room Claims

There have been quite a few rumours floating around of the last week or so that the Sussexes? marriage is on the rocks. That was due to some unfounded story from some source in LA and reprinted by the notorious tabloid The Sun, that Harry ?escapes? Meghan on a regular basis by staying in a room at a nearby hotel and at a luxury spa near a sports club in LA. 

Of course Angela Levin and co jumped on that with joy, stating on GB News and similar outlets that the marriage was ?obviously? over. She btw has never met Meghan and the last time she spoke to Harry at any length was in 2018. So she knows all about them.

Anyway, their rep has kicked that rumour to the kerb with just four words ?That is not true!? She ought perhaps to have added, ?much as some media would like it to be so.? After all that would be another opportunity to bash the couple, especially Meghan, for the next six months, with lots of profitable clickbait.

First it was, they won't make it past the engagement, then we give it two years with the degree wife and then they won't make it five. Each year the Sussex's stay in together the goal-post is moved on when they will break up.

At this point, it's a fantasy some have.

It's almost as silly as this recent article saying they'll move back to the UK soon. And I say almost as silly because the person did point out that they seem very happy in the US.

I?m putting this here if that?s OK, because although this article doesn?t concentrate on the Sussexes it does mention them.

Basically this is a long but very interesting article on where Spotify went wrong with its podcasts wing and how it can be rectified, if it can. There are even problems with J Rogan.

How Spotify?s podcast plan went off the rails - The Verge

Spotify knows something is wrong with its podcast strategy ? and these past few weeks have proved it. The company?s missteps reveal how fundamentally different the formula of success is in podcasts from film, video games, books, and even music. Franchises, IP, and name recognition can be enough to deliver a hit across many different mediums. But in the world of podcasts, a series from an acclaimed filmmaker, best-selling author, or even a former president can barely register on the charts. And after years of chasing this hit-making strategy, it all seems to be falling apart.

Prior to the Archewell fallout, Spotify?s deals with several other high-profile, star-driven studios and creators came to an end, including Higher Ground, Bren? Brown, and Ava DuVernay. Barack and Michelle Obama?s production company Higher Ground opted not to renew its contract with Spotify last year, citing a desire to no longer have its shows locked to one platform. A multiyear exclusive deal with DuVernay didn?t lead to a single podcast ? both parties also cut ties last year.

The Sussexes will shop according to the new economical landscape as the Obama's did because Spotify wasn't going to pay them the same amount, they excused themselves with a PR article to be spread around the world, the reality came out after their PR, they went to another platform for half the price.

Joe Rogan is Spotify's money making machine interviewing controversial characters or not, does a daily podcast 'unfiltered' up to 3 to 4 hours if the subject (s) discussed with his guest is interesting, IOW, the amount of people joining/entering his podcast, 5 days a week/per month/12 months. Nothing can absolutely beat this workaholic. Nor Simmons either, the Sports Podcaster who is also a top executive at Spotify who criticized the Sussexes using profanity and will be telling his zoom meeting with H - it will be announced, first they are shopping for Advertisers. That's the ruthless business in the arts and entertainment world the couple entered.

I am pretty sure, after the hurt of losing a job, people usually tend to move on, next.

Netflix is safe for now, they will air Invictus Games, I recall August 2023, latest reports. Also they gently placed the couple in a sort of chess game telling them what they want, ''check''- more dirt, if not it will end in ''check mate''.  It won't be so public like Spotify, that was doomed 12 episodes, 1 Christmas special in 3 years is really not productive.

IMO the couple are in a difficult situation, but I'm a positive thinker, so reinventing is a solution.

Penguin, well H just has to convince them in Ref to the remaining 3 books to accept; Meghan's 18 month story as a royal, his other alleged 400 pages and the fourth book?

I wouldn't worry so much as a royal watcher, H's family, Charles his father will not let him sink financially. If this happens, of course. There is always a can't touch ever no matter what trust fund contracts in every bank institution, there's always a prodigal member in every family, the rich take care of it by 'controlling' moneys via trust fund, like Bea and Eugenie have, their parents would have had them ruined ages ago.
