And now, Firstpost have reported that Meghan could take on the lead role in the same movie project that Princess Diana was considered for.

The latest report on Meghan comes in the aftermath of her and Prince Harry losing $29 million deal with "Spotify". Recently, Spotify didn't renew Meghan's podcast “Archetypes” for the second season. The deal was signed in 2020 but delivered just 13 hours of programming in two and half years. Reportedly, Spotify terminated the deal as the project failed to meet productivity benchmarks.
Later, Bill Simmons, who is head of Spotify’s international sports content, took a dig on Harry-Meghan on his own podcast,
“'The f**king grifters.’ That’s the podcast we shoulda launched with them,” he said.
In the wake of termination of Spotify deal, Harry-Meghan are having a hard time because of their expenses. As per reports, the bill for the couple's private security detail amounts to about $2 million a year. Added to that is the cost being incurred by Harry over his legal tussles.
“They’re not broke. But they’re going to have to keep spending their money, instead of banking it,” said a source quoted by Page Six.
