TV host Peter Stefanovic slams ‘swell guy’ Prince Harry and claims he and wife Meghan Markle could run out of money after their $20M Archetypes Spotify podcast is axed
Peter Stefanovic has slammed Prince Harry for making explosive claims about his brother William in his controversial memoir, Spare.
The Sky News host was discussing the Duke and his wife Meghan Markles’ $20million Archetypes podcast being axed by Spotify on Tuesday when he criticised Harry on his ‘boring’ book.
‘Harry’s book is atrocious and just well boring. And I’m still stuck on the hanging your brother out to dry thing,’ Peter began.
‘But if he’s happy making his money, trashing his family and being able to deal with his conscious, then good luck to him. Sounds like a swell guy.’
‘Broken deals or not, they still make a lot of money out of it so they’re laughing to the bank but for how long?’
In his explosive memoir, Harry branded Prince William his ‘arch-nemesis’.
The Duke kept nothing back when writing about his very complex feelings about his older sibling – laying bare his bitter frustrations over his role as the ‘spare’ to William, who is the heir to the throne.
Harry also accused William of physically attacking him and claimed that the Palace planted negative stories about Meghan in the media.
In an interview with Good Morning America in January, Harry admitted he always felt there’s been ‘this competition’ between the two siblings, which he blames on their respective positions in the line of succession.
‘There’s a quote in the book where your refer to your brother as your “beloved brother and arch-nemesis”. Strong words. What did you mean by that?’ host Michael Strahan asked.
Harry then responded: ‘There has always been this competition between us, weirdly. I think it really plays into or always played by the “heir/spare”.’
Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Markle’s Spotify podcast Archetypes will not be renewed for a second season.
The streaming giant and the Sussexes released a joint statement saying they have ‘mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together’.
But Bill Simmons, Head of Podcast Innovation and Monetization at Spotify, condemned the pair in an episode of his own podcast on Friday.
‘The f***ing grifters. That’s the podcast we should have launched with them,’ he said. ‘I’ve got to get drunk one night and tell the story of the Zoom I had with Harry to try and help him with a podcast idea. It’s one of my best stories.’
