The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have signed a multimillion dollar deal with Spotify. They will be podcasters producing content that “uplifts and entertains audiences around the world,” the couple explained in a statement.

Partnering with Netflix and Spotify earlier this year, the couple is following the footsteps of the Obamas. The royal couple has also set up ‘Archewell Audio’ and signed an exclusive multi-year deal with the platform.

Later this month, they are set to release a holiday special that will feature stories of hope with special guest in partnership with Spotify’s Gimlet studio. After leaving their jobs as senior royals and moving to Montecito, California earlier this year, the couple said, “What we love about podcasting is that it reminds all of us to take a moment and to really listen, to connect to one another without distraction.”

They added, ” (with) the challenges of 2020, there has never been a more important time to do so, because when we hear each other, and hear each other’s stories, we are reminded of how interconnected we all are.” No official date has been given as to when episodes will start but they will be kicking off with a holiday special before 2021.
