Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have signed an exclusive podcast deal with Spotify, following in the footsteps of the Obamas to add to their £100million agreement with Netflix. The couple will produce and host their own shows.
Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no longer addressed as Your Royal Highness .
But it now appears both disillusioned royals were secretly given yet another nickname by the staff they worked with while producing their Spotify podcast. A royal correspondent has claimed Meghan Markle was given the nickname 'Eva' in reference to the 1955 camp classic 'Queen Bee' starring the ultimate diva herself – Joan Crawford
He claimed sources told him that Meghan only wanted 'to speak to the person at the top' when she worked alongside them. Like other Enfield creations such as Kevin the Teenager, Wayne and Waynetta Slob and Loadsamoney, Tim was a household name in the UK for years. A royal correspondent has now claimed that behind the scenes at Spotify staff found it 'really difficult' to deal with Meghan because of her mood swings and that she was 'quite tough and bossy'
Another nickname for the royal couple came as yet more light was shed on to the failed deal between Spotify and the Sussexes by a blockbuster Vanity Fair cover story published in January. Meanwhile, Meghan found it hard to commit to a single idea before 'backtracking' and 'watering them down', meaning each episode had to be 'completely reimagined late in production', the article states.
The news about the Spotify nicknames comes after Vanity Fair published a bombshell expose that covered how the five years since Megxit have panned out for the Sussexes Meanwhile, an individual who worked in media projects read claims of Meghan 'bullying' palace aids and said they could not imagine such behaviour really happened.
The couple was famously disparaged by podcaster Bill Simmons who worked with the Sussexes at Spotify. The Mail revealed that former staff had dubbed themselves the 'Sussex Survivors Club' and some were suffering from the equivalent of post-traumatic stress disorder. While it might not appear like the most flattering of comparisons to be named after a type of strong metal, Charles intended it to be a compliment, and it stuck.
In his recent book, A Voyage Around the Queen, the Daily Mail columnist Craig Brown claimed their names now don't get brought up too often in royal circles. 'Mention the Sussexes to other members of the Royal Family... and they simply smile briefly and say,"We wish them all the best" - and nothing else.'
