The streaming giant announced earlier this month it was ending after just one series of Meghan’s 12-part Archetypes podcast and a short “holiday special.”

A joint statement said: “Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together.”

It came after the Wall Street Journal reported that the couple left Netflix and Spotify executives “underwhelmed” by their lack of productivity and ideas.

The production of the podcast series was fraught with difficulties over securing the right guests and the Duchess often asking for late changes, according to the newspaper.

It revealed that Archewell employees and associates had admitted the company often lacked direction, and that the Sussexes “at times seem surprised by the work required to finish entertainment projects”.

It also alleged that Meghan wrote a personal letter to Taylor Swift, asking her to appear on Archetypes, but that the singer declined, through a representative.

An Archewell spokesman told the Wall Street Journal: “New companies often make changes in their start-up phase, both with people and strategy, and we are no exception. We’re more equipped, focused and energised than ever before.”

A source close to the couple told The Telegraph that it was proving “tough” for the couple to move forwards with Netflix projects in development due to a Hollywood writers’ strike, which has brought much of US film and TV production to a crashing halt.

A Netflix spokesman said Harry & Meghan was its biggest documentary debut. “We’ll continue to work together on a number of projects,” she added.
