Harry's bombshell Spare memoir criticised the royal family

Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, Royal Correspondent at 5 News, Simon Viger, said Netflix will be wanting Prince Harry to spill some juicy information.
He shared: 'My issue with Netflix is Harry has said there's stuff he's kept back that he hasn't put in the book, that he didn't put in the documentary.
'And he's never going to talk about it.
'If the Netflix deal is continuing, they're going to say, 'look, so much for behind the scenes at Polo and flower sprinkles, we actually want to know what else there is.''
When the Duke of Sussex released his 400-page Spare memoir, he claimed there were initially 800 pages written.
He explained: "It could have been two books, put it that way. And the hard bit was taking things out.
"But there are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to some extent between me and my father, that I just don't want the world to know. Because I don't think they would ever forgive me.
'Now you could argue that some of the stuff I've put in there, well, they will never forgive me anyway.'
News.com.au Royal Reporter Bronte Coy agreed that we could learn more royal secrets.
She pointed out that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have years ahead of them to fund their new lavish lifestyle in California, with Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four.
Harry and Meghan are the world's most boring and unprofitable couple - everything they do is so hilariously bad
She added: 'They have a young family. They've got decades ahead of them needing to maintain this lifestyle.
'As you mentioned, it's a California lifestyle.'
A-LIST LIFESTYLE
The royal reporter added that the couple are 'by no means poor', thanks to Harry's inheritance from his great grandmother, the Queen Mother, and money from Diana's estate.
However, she added: 'But their security costs, as you mentioned, I think it's like two million pounds a year.
'Their mortgage would be high.
If the Netflix deal is continuing, they're going to say, 'look, so much for behind the scenes at Polo and flower sprinkles, we actually want to know what else there is
Simon Viger
'These deals were big deals - the Netflix one, the Spotify one, which has been over I think for two years - and the new one that Megan would be on with a much smaller streaming service, it wouldn't be anything like those numbers, you'd have to assume, that they had with Spotify.
'But for all these reasons, I think that you are talking about huge overheads every year, and especially with staffing costs, and that has to be maintained.
'So I think you are looking at a huge amount of money every year that they're needing to spend.'

FUTURE REVELATIONS
She added: 'So, yes, I think that you are looking at a scenario where maybe there will be more books.
'I don't know. We don't know what they'll do in the future.'
Simon Viger said that he wishes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle success in their new post-royal life, following stepping down from duties in 2020.
He added: 'I mean, they do have a lot of loyal fans, as we know, especially in America.

'So I'm sure they'll be able to monetize stuff for a long time.
'I hope it all works out. But I don't know how long you can keep stringing along some of those deals.'
Along with Prince Harry's ventures, Meghan has also kept busy, including this year launching her As Ever brand and her Netflix cooking show, With Love, Meghan.

An AI-generated band got 1m plays on Spotify. Now music insiders say listeners should be warned
They went viral, amassing more than 1m streams on Spotify in a matter of weeks, but it later emerged that hot new band the Velvet Sundown were AI-generated – right down to their music, promotional images and backstory. The episode has triggered a debate about authenticity, with music industry insiders saying streaming sites should be legally obliged to tag music created by AI-generated acts so consumers can make informed decisions about what they are listening to. Initially, the 'band', described as 'a synthetic music project guided by human creative direction', denied they were an AI creation, and released two albums in June called Floating On Echoes and Dust And Silence, which were similar to the country folk of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Things became more complicated when someone describing himself as an 'adjunct' member told reporters that the Velvet Sundown had used the generative AI platform Suno in the creation of their songs, and that the project was an 'art hoax'. The band's official social media channels denied this and said the group's identity was being 'hijacked', before releasing a statement confirming that the group was an AI creation and was 'Not quite human. Not quite machine' but living 'somewhere in between'. Several figures told the Guardian that the present situation, where streaming sites, including Spotify, are under no legal obligation to identify AI-generated music, left consumers unaware of the origins of the songs they're listening to. Roberto Neri, the chief executive of the Ivors Academy, said: 'AI-generated bands like Velvet Sundown that are reaching big audiences without involving human creators raise serious concerns around transparency, authorship and consent.' Neri added that if 'used ethically', AI has the potential to enhance songwriting, but said at present his organisation was concerned with what he called 'deeply troubling issues' with the use of AI in music. Sophie Jones, the chief strategy officer at the music trade body the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), backed calls for clear labelling. 'We believe that AI should be used to serve human creativity, not supplant it,' said Jones. 'That's why we're calling on the UK government to protect copyright and introduce new transparency obligations for AI companies so that music rights can be licensed and enforced, as well as calling for the clear labelling of content solely generated by AI.' Liz Pelly, the author of Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist, said independent artists could be exploited by people behind AI bands who might create tracks that are trained using their music. She referred to the 2023 case of a song that was uploaded to TikTok, Spotify and YouTube, which used AI-generated vocals claiming to be the Weeknd and Drake. Universal Music Group said the song was 'infringing content created with generative AI' and it was removed shortly after it was uploaded. It is not clear what music the Velvet Sundown's albums were trained on, with critics saying that lack of clarity means independent artists could be losing out on compensation. Pelly said: 'We need to make sure that it's not just pop stars whose interests are being looked after, all artists should have the ability to know if their work has been exploited in this way.' For some, the appearance of the Velvet Sundown is the logical next step as music and AI combine, while legislation is fighting to keep up with a rapidly changing musical ecosystem.

Every genre, every era, every week after newsletter promotion Jones said: 'The rise of AI-generated bands and music entering the market points to the fact that tech companies have been training AI models using creative works – largely without authorisation or payment to creators and rights-holders – in order to directly compete with human artistry.' Neri added that the UK has a chance to lead the world in ethical AI adoption in music but said there needed to be robust legal frameworks that 'guarantee consent and fair remuneration for creators, and clear labelling for listeners'. 'Without such safeguards, AI risks repeating the same mistakes seen in streaming, where big tech profits while music creators are left behind,' he added. Aurélien Hérault, the chief innovation officer at the music streaming service Deezer, said the company uses detection software that identifies AI-generated tracks and tags them. He said: 'For the moment, I think platforms need to be transparent and try to inform users. For a period of time, what I call the 'naturalisation of AI', we need to inform users when it's used or not.' Hérault did not rule out removing tagging in future if AI-generated music becomes more popular and musicians begin to use it like an 'instrument'. Deezer recently told the Guardian that up to seven out of 10 streams of AI-generated music on the platform are fraudulent. At present, Spotify does not label music as AI-generated and has previously been criticised for populating some playlists with music by 'ghost artists' – fake acts that create stock music. A spokesperson for the company said Spotify does not prioritise AI-generated music. 'All music on Spotify, including AI-generated music, is created, owned and uploaded by licensed third parties,' they said.
