On June 16, it was announced that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's $25&nbsp;million deal with Spotify had come to an end. A day after it was announced that Harry and Meghan's company and Spotify have decided to part ways, Bill Simmons, who is head of Spotify’s international sports content, has reacted to the end of the contract and has slammed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex by calling them 'lazy,' 'f–king grifters'.

Condemning the pair in a recent episode of his podcast, he said,&nbsp;"The f***ing grifters. That’s the podcast we should have launched with them.''

''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,'' he said.&nbsp;

Many sources have also criticised the couple and called them lazy as compared to the Obamas, who also had a big deal with Spotify, as per Page Six.&nbsp;

Reacting to Meghan and Harry's deal, one industry insider said, "Spotify wants to focus on people who drive strong audiences, like Alex Cooper, Dax Shepard and Emma Chamberlain. There are a lot of great creators who are very eager. Meghan and Harry are the outlier on all of this, I think they have come off as being lazy and difficult.''

<h2>End of the Spotify deal</h2>

After stepping out of their royal lives, Harry and Meghan's Spotify deal was one of the most significant and the big deal&nbsp;that they signed in 2020. Ending the $25&nbsp;million deal, the joint statement was released on June 16.&nbsp;

In the statement,&nbsp;they said ''they have&nbsp;mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together''.&nbsp;

The company also announced that it would not be renewing Meghan's podcast, Archetypes, for a second season. The first season had 12 episodes from August 2022.

In December, Archetypes received the top podcast award at the People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles.&nbsp;

Meghan and Prince Harry slammed as ‘lazy,’ ‘f–king grifters’ after Spotify deal ends

Netflix's acclaimed royal drama 'The Crown' is on the hunt for an actor to play the role of Prince Harry. And if you look like him, or at least a younger version of him, you could be part of this acclaimed show's cast. Oh, and you do not even require any prior acting experience. This information is as per an advertisement accessed by Evening Standard (see image below). It goes like this: 'Robert Sterne, Casting Director of the Netflix series The Crown, is searching for an exceptional young actor to play Prince Harry in the next series. It is a significant role in this award-winning drama and we are looking for a strong physical resemblance. Please see photographs for reference. Shooting will commence November 2022 in the UK."

The age the casting agents are looking for is 16-20 years, so we are not going to see Meghan Markle in the upcoming season.&nbsp;

The Peter Morgan-created show follows the reign of the recently-departed United Kingdom monarch Queen Elizabeth II from her coronation until the present -- which, presumably, will now include her death.

Season 4 covered the time period between 1979 to 1990 -- the government of Margaret Thatcher.

Queen Elizabeth II died on the evening of September 8 at Balmoral Castle. Earlier that day, the doctors had expressed concerns over her health and were keeping her under medical supervision. Her reign lasted for 70 years. She passed away as the longest-serving monarch in Britain's history. Morgan had said that he would stop the show from filming out of respect for her.

“The Crown is a love letter to her and I’ve nothing to add for now, just silence and respect. I expect we will stop filming out of respect too," he had said.

Claire Foy played the role in the first two seasons, and won two Emmys for her performance. Oscar-winning actor Olivia Colman took over in seasons 3 and 4, and went on to win an Emmy too. Imelda Staunton will play the role in season 5 and season 6.&nbsp;
