The British royal reportedly discussed multiple podcast ideas with American producers, though none bore fruit
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, said he wanted to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin – as well as former US president Donald Trump and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg – for a podcast about childhood trauma and upbringing, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.
The series would have featured lengthy interviews with these “controversial” figures, examining how events in their childhood shaped the adults they ultimately became, several insider sources told the news outlet.
While the royal allegedly shopped this idea around to multiple producers and production houses in the US, members of his podcast production team said they raised concerns about the practicality of securing interviews with the desired VIPs, who are not known for publicly dishing about their childhood, or indeed much else about their personal lives.
