Prince Harry reportedly hoped to interview world leaders like former President Donald Trump and Russia President Vladimir Putin about their childhood traumas for his Spotify podcast.

The Duke of Sussex reportedly pitched the streaming site the idea for several shows that would involve interviewing influential people like Trump, Putin, and Mark Zuckerberg about traumas they experienced as kids, Bloomberg reported.

A source with direct knowledge told the outlet the idea puzzled executives, who allegedly found the royal’s pitch “questionable” given the fact that people like Putin and Zuckerberg rarely give wide-ranging interviews about their upbringings and personal experiences.

Harry reportedly also pitched an idea in which he would interview Pope Francis about religion, another that dealt with fatherhood, and one on climate change, the outlet reported.

While none of Harry’s podcast ideas ever got off the ground, his wife Meghan Markle ended up doing one season of her podcast “Archetypes,” the outlet noted. Harry and Markle’s company, Archewell Audio, produced 12 episodes, which aired from August to November 2022.

A description of the show read, “a podcast where we investigate, dissect, and subvert the labels that try to hold women back.”

Earlier this month, Spotify and the royal couple released a joint statement saying that they “have mutually agreed to part ways” after the coupled signed an agreement in 2020 for $20 million, Page Six noted.

A representative for WME, a talent agency that recently hired Markle, previously said, “Meghan is continuing to develop more content for the Archetypes audience on another platform.”

Shortly after news surfaced that the podcast deal was canceled, Spotify executive Bill Simmons slammed the Sussexes, labeling them “f***ing grifters.”

“I gotta get drunk one night and tell the story of the Zoom I had with Harry to try and help him with a podcast idea,” he added. “It’s one of my best stories.”

The effort to rescue the passengers on the Titan, the submersible whose debris was found at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, likely cost millions of dollars — and OceanGate Expeditions, the company responsible for the expedition, likely will not pay for it.

Over the four days the rescue effort was conducted, airplanes, boats, and submersibles were utilized in the attempt, including Canadian P-3 Orion, P-8 Poseidon, and CP-140 Aurora aircraft as well as their vessels Horizon Arctic and Glace Bay. The French ship L’Atalante joined in the effort, as did three C-130 aircraft and three C-17 transport planes from the U.S. military.

Chris Boyer, the executive director of the National Association for Search and Rescue, said the rescue mission would “probably cost millions.”

“It’s no different than if a private citizen goes out and his boat sinks,” retired Admiral Paul Zukunft, who led the U.S. Coast Guard from 2014-2018, stated. “We go out and recover him. We don’t stick them with the bill after the fact.”

“The Coast Guard’s default,” he added, “is we will always launch for safety of life at sea — and always holding out hope that they do rise to the surface, we launch a rescue swimmer, and they’re all recovered and live to see the next day.”

The U.S. Navy also sent a winch system named the Flyaway Deep Ocean Salvage System (FADOSS) to the area of the sunken submersible; it is capable of retrieving objects as deep as 20,000 feet, but the system had to be welded onto a boat, which could take 24 hours.

In the end, the extra time needed may not have mattered, as reports on Thursday indicated that the passengers may have died early in the expedition when the submersible imploded, killing them instantaneously.

On Thursday, the United States Coast Guard announced that a remote-controlled vehicle deployed by the Horizon Arctic had found debris from the Titan. “A debris field was discovered within the search area by an ROV near the Titanic,” USGC Northeast said in a statement. “Experts within the unified command are evaluating the information.”

“A debris field implies a break-up of the submersible … that really sort of indicates what is the worst-case scenario, which is a catastrophic failure and generally that’s an implosion,” marine scientist and rescue expert David Mearns told Sky News.

“The only saving grace is that it would have been immediate — literally in milliseconds — and the men wouldn’t have known what was happening,” Mearns added.
