The outing comes weeks after Spotify canceled its $20 million deal with Prince Harry and his wife after just the first season of Meghan Markle's podcast Archetypes .
Questions have also been raised about the future of their $100 million partnership with Netflix.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex blame their failures on... bad luck.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex blame their failures – what Rolling Stone calls a “lost era” – on a string of outside misfortunes.
"They both think they're really unlucky," a source told the Daily Mail .
The couple have reportedly cited the Covid-19 pandemic, the economic downturn, poor health and subsequent deaths of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II as factors in their success.
The couple announced they would step down from royal duties in January 2020, months before the world went into lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
More than a year later, they sat down for an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021 and spoke freely about their misfortunes as royals. In April 2021, Prince Philip died at the age of 99.
Meghan Markle launched her podcast Archetypes in August 2022 but was overshadowed by the death of Queen Elizabeth II the following month, leading to Spotify's deal with the couple falling apart.
An insider told The New York Post earlier this month that the two didn't create enough content to receive the full $20 million payment to sign with Spotify.
The two left their home in Santa Barbara, California.
Additionally, Harry confused Spotify executives by pitching a series of podcast ideas that included interviewing Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump about their childhood traumas.
In June 2023, Spotify CEO Bill Simmons criticized Meghan and Harry for being "lazy".
United Talent Agency CEO Jeremy Zimmer also called the former Suits actress "talentless."
However, the couple's company, Archewell Productions, is said to have several upcoming projects in the works with Netflix.
Page Six exclusively revealed that Prince Harry is planning to travel to Africa to film a new documentary. The couple's first documentary series - Meghan & Harry - is set to premiere on Netflix in December 2022, attracting public attention.
