The Duke is passionate about the project

This good news comes after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have suffered some disappointing news lately. Firstly, Meghan's $20 million Spotify podcast deal came to an end.

A joint statement from Archewell and Spotify expressed mutual agreement not to continue and highlighted the pride they felt for the series they created together. 

 “Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together," a rep stated to HELLO!

Meghan herself also confirmed the news by writing on her website: "I loved digging my hands into the process, sitting up late at night in bed, working on the writing and creative. And I loved digging deep into meaningful conversations with my diverse and inspiring guests, laughing and learning with them. It has been such a labor of love." 

After this, it came to light that the Duke and Duchess have tried and failed to obtain a patent and trademark on the phrase 'Archetypes' for their business, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Their application was not accepted due to the existing company, Archetypes LLC, however, Harry and Meghan's lawyer is reportedly asking for more time to revise the application in hopes of getting it pushed through.
