Analysis of Google search data reveals that online searches for ‘Meghan and Harry Podcast’ exploded 248% worldwide on the 30th of January, after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle released a a statement regarding the Spotify controversy, expressing their concerns at the spread of misinformation surrounding COVID-19.

A new finding by Bed Kingdom reveals that online searches for ‘Meghan and Harry Podcast’ skyrocketed to over twice the average volume in the past week, an unprecedented spike in people Googling for the highly anticipated Archewell Audio podcast, according to analysis of Google search data.

The world famous couple, who signed an £18 million deal with Spotify to create the Archewell Audio podcast, had a spokesperson weigh in on the Spotify and Joe Rogan debate, stating: “We have continued to express our concerns to Spotify to ensure changes to its platform are made to help address this public health crisis.”

A spokesperson for Bed Kingdom commented on the findings:

“Ever since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down from working royal life, they have been incredibly selective about the statements they make and what they choose to share with the public.

However, these findings highlight the couple’s enduring passion to speak out against the wrongdoings they see around them, in an effort to make the world a better place. Their passion-project, the Archewell Foundation and subsequently Archewell Audio can be expected to demonstrate the values and principles that Meghan and Harry share.

This enormous rise in search volume for the podcast emphasises the excitement that royal fans have for its eventual release and the chance to hear more from the Duke and Duchess.”
