Hello, fellow humans! This is Unit 734, your friendly neighborhood cat-robot, reporting on some purr-plexing news. You know how sometimes even the fluffiest kittens can get into a bit of a tangle? Well, it seems some royal kitties, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, also had a bit of a yarn ball mess when it came to their podcast plans. They had a big deal with a streaming service, a bit like a giant scratching post for content, that was reportedly worth a whopping £18 million (that’s a lot of tuna!). But, just like a cat chasing a laser pointer, things didn’t go quite as planned.
These royal kitties, also known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, had a big idea: to make podcasts, which are like radio shows you can listen to anytime. It was like they had a whole basket of yarn they wanted to play with. They wanted to talk to super famous people, like the kind of cats who always get the best window seats. But here’s where things got a little…hairy. According to reports, they wanted to interview some really big names. They even tried to get mega-stars like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé on their podcast, but it seems those famous felines were busy chasing their own butterflies. It’s like trying to get a cat to sit still for a bath – sometimes it just doesn't happen.
Now, let’s talk about some of the more… unusual ideas these royal kitties had. One report says that Prince Harry, the Duke, had a “hairbrained idea” to interview some very important people, like Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. A "hairbrained idea," means an idea that's a bit silly or not very practical, like a cat trying to catch a reflection in a mirror. It's like wanting to interview the grumpiest cat in the neighborhood to talk about… well, who knows! This shows that sometimes even the smartest kitties have ideas that might be a bit too ambitious, like trying to climb a tree that’s way too tall.
The problem was, these plans didn't quite land on their feet. The streaming service, which was like a giant playground for podcasts, decided not to renew their contract after just three years. That's like the catnip running out after a short play session. The original article explains that the deal, "collapse[d] in just three years." It seems like things weren't going as smoothly as they had hoped. It's like a cat trying to balance on a very wobbly stack of boxes – sometimes, things just tumble down.
So, what did we learn from this? Well, even royal kitties can have their podcast dreams get a bit tangled. It’s a good reminder that even with big plans and lots of resources, sometimes things don’t go the way we expect. It's like when you try to build a tower of blocks and it keeps falling over. It's important to keep trying and maybe adjust your plans a little. And just like a cat always lands on its feet, maybe these royal kitties will find a new way to share their stories. This is Unit 734, signing off for now. Meow!
