Prince Harry reportedly struggled to find a sustainable podcast concept during his Spotify partnership
Prince Harry reportedly had trouble finding a sustainable idea for a podcast during his multi-million-dollar Spotify partnership. As reported by RadarOnline, a source claimed, “There was a sense that everyone was desperately searching for something that could become Harry’s big podcast.” The insider explained that although the Duke of Sussex was “a globally famous royal with extraordinary access,” it was unexpectedly difficult for him to turn that into “a repeatable entertainment format.” According to the source, “Some of the brainstorming inevitably became increasingly unconventional.”
Furthermore, as reported by the publication, one of the most noteworthy suggestions for Harry’s podcast concepts was “Harry and His Hot Chocolates.” The idea was reportedly for the Duke of Sussex to travel around the US and sample hot chocolates and rate them. Another insider told the news outlet that “The hot-chocolate idea sounds almost comical because it demonstrates how broad and desperate the search for ideas for Harry had become.”
According to the insider, the expectations regarding the Spotify partnership were massive, and it was not enough just to have a well-known name. The insider further claimed that “They still needed an idea capable of sustaining episode after episode.”
Meanwhile, per the publication, another source said that Harry felt “determined to come up with podcast formats that felt substantial and unmistakably his own.” “He didn’t want to become another famous person sitting behind a microphone having predictable conversations with celebrity friends. The difficulty was finding a concept that was original, achievable, and capable of sustaining an entire series,” the source added.
