Bill Simmons, who oversees podcast innovation and monetization at Spotify, criticized Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, in the wake of the company's recent separation from the duo.
Meghan Markle had been producing a podcast called "Archetypes" through Archewell Audio, a company she co-founded with her spouse. The podcast delved into the historical and cultural stereotypes surrounding women.
“Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together,” it said in a released statement from the two.
During an episode of his show, "The Bill Simmons Podcast," Simmons referred to the couple as "f***ing grifters."
“I wish I had been involved in the ‘Megan and Harry leave Spotify’ negotiation,” he said. “‘The F***ing Grifters.’ That’s the podcast we shoulda launched with them. I gotta 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.”

“Shoot this guy to the sun. I’m so tired of this guy,” Simmons said of Harry. “What does he bring to the table? He just whines about s*** and keeps giving interviews. … Who cares about your life? You weren’t even the favorite son.”
The New York Post pointed out that this isn't the first time Simmons has criticized Harry. He has expressed his disdain for the Duke multiple times in the past, even when they were both at the same company. In January 2023, Simmons voiced his fatigue with Harry's presence, stating he was “so tired of this guy” and that it was “so embarrassing that he’s on our platform.”
“I can’t stand him,” Simmons said. “So tired. I’m so embarrassed that I f***ing have to share Spotify with him. The guy sucks.”
