Meghan Markle and Prince Harry asked to 'drop titles & stop cashing in' using royal status

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have signed yet another remunerative deal with Spotify in order to host and produce podcasts which will highlight vivid perspective and voices. According to Express UK, their production company, Archewell Audio has now reportedly partnered with the streaming service. The deal is rumoured to be worth around $25 million.

Now, royal commentator Phil Dampier, in an interview with LBC radio, claimed that this deal of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is nothing but ‘commercial exploitation’. He further added that if the couple wants to carry on with their work, they should drop the Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles. Adding to the same, Phil also said that it would be ‘very very difficult to carry on cashing in’ on the titles if the duo continues to do things like this.
