The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly set to be offered a seven figure deal to produce podcasts for Spotify.
Prince Harry, 35, and Meghan Markle, 39, who are currently living in their $14 million mansion in Santa Barbara, having officially stepped back from royal duty seeking financial independence in March.
The streaming giant, which is worth £22bn, are hoping to sign the royal couple following the success of The Michelle Obama podcast, which launched last month, and has been a huge ratings hit.
Sources told the Mirror that money is 'no object' for Spotify and Meghan would be able to 'more or less name her price'.

Or their money. Grifters.
Well now that they are going to be earning seven figures there is no reason for any taxpayer to fund anything of theirs.

I still hold out the possibility that the supposed rift among the Royals, leading to their establishing a castle in Santa Barbara, is a cover story to their strategic marriage and expansion stateside.
Really? People want to listen to her alternately whining and giving out life-slogans?
It amazes me how some Americans still fawn over royalty. I thought we settled all that back in 1776.
I can just here the Spotify executives now.
Spotify executive: “We just signed a duke! And a duchess!”
Some guy with common sense: “What could they possibly say that would be important?”
Spotify executive: “It doesn’t matter. He’s a duke! And she’s a duchess!”
A Royal Flush
Who will pick up Spotify for a cheap price when the current run ends and the stock drops by 2/3? The Swedes evidently think we give a crap about royalty...
Courting a whole ne audience to hate their guts.
And the un-Royal couple are still cashing in on their "celebrity status" as former royals.
Other than the fact that they speak English, what else do they have in common with most Americans ?.. Nothing !
They are being paid for who they were, rather than what they say, or can contribute towards society.
What a waste !
cashing in, can’t imagine how they can finance this with no listeners..
Well, it's actually not YOU who are wasting your money, it's SPOTIFY that is wasting your money FOR you.

Note to self: sell short in Spotify.
Meghan would be able to ‘more or less name her price’.

We have already determined your occupation.
Now we are just negotiating the price.
Shades (yeah, why not) of Jerry Brown.
Yellow - let it mellow
Brown - flush it down.
She's a D-list actress at best. She's "famous" because of who she married. Harold is no longer a Prince. I will grant his service in Afghanistan but that's not sufficient in itself to justify 750k.
The story isn’t true. If you have been watching the MeGain and Halfwit saga, this is just her latest fishing for work expedition. If she and he ever manage to get any kind of deal in Hollywood, it will be reality show/QVC level stuff, and given their charisma-free and whiny, uninteresting personalities, I wouldn’t expect the ratings ever to be very high.
No one is fawning over these ex-royals.
