Prince Harry pitched podcast on childhood trauma — with Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

Meghan Markle only hosted one podcast, "Archetypes," under her and Prince Harry's failed $20 million Spotify deal — but that doesn't mean the redheaded royal didn't have podcast ideas of his own.



Bloomberg reported Thursday that unidentified insiders claim Harry, 38, met with several producers and production houses to brainstorm show concepts.


He was reportedly the biggest fan of his own ideas — including a podcast about childhood trauma with a slew of controversial, big-shot guests.


Per Bloomberg, Harry wanted to speak with Vladimir Putin, Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump about their early years and how their experiences shaped their adulthood. Harry reportedly also pitched a podcast centered around fatherhood, as well as another that would explore societal conversations ranging from climate change to religion.


He allegedly envisioned Pope Francis as the perfect guest to dissect the latter topic.


“The practicality of these ideas struck some people in the Harry-podcast cosmos as questionable at best, given that people like Putin and Zuckerberg rarely give wide-ranging interviews about the topics they're passionate about — let alone about their upbringings and personal childhood. traumas,” reporter Ashley Carman wrote in her Bloomberg newsletter.


The Duke of Sussex tragically lost his mom, Princess Diana, at just 12 years old when she was killed in a paparazzi car chase in 1997.


In a joint statement to The Post last week, Spotify and Archewell Audio said they have “mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together.”


A source close to the situation told The Post at the time that Archewell did not produce enough content to receive the full payout of the hefty deal the couple signed in 2020.
