Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have only released just 35 minutes worth of content as part of their £18million Spotify deal in six months.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, aged 36 and 39 respectively, signed the big-money deal with the streaming giant last year, with the service "looking forward to a full-scale launch of shows."
However, the couple – who welcomed their second child, daughter Lilibet, earlier this month – have only released two audio clips, totally to 35 minutes.
On 15 December 2020, the pair were heard talking in a two minute long clip introducing fans to their Archewell Audio platform.
They then returned on 29 December to release a "holiday special" of their podcast, featuring a "special collection of inspiration, reflection, and perspective from guests around the world."
Royal journalist Phil Dampier has now spoken to The Sun about the deal, explaining the pair are now on parental leave following the birth of their daughter.
He said: "We're being told they're having up to five months off and people who are paying them a lot of money will expect something in return.
"They seem to be using up a lot of ammunition very early and putting a lot of stuff out there in terms of deals and agreements with lots of firms.
"The question might be asked whether they have too much on their plate," he continued.
However, PR expert Mark Borowski says the deal is a "win-win" for Spotify to be linked to the Sussex despite the lack of content, but added: "Harry and Meghan will be under scrutiny to deliver. What are these guys going to produce? What do they stand for?"

Harry and Meghan have also signed a deal with Netflix, with it being announced in April they will be producing a documentary series based on the Duke's Invictus Games.
The dad-of-two has also starred in Apple TV+ series The Me You Can't See, where he said he had suffered "genetic pain" as part of the Royal family.
Stewart Pearce, the author of biography Diana: The Voice of Change, has now said 72 year old Prince Charles will have "retreated" from his youngest son Harry following the claims.

The expert told Us Weekly: "Prince Charles is a very, very shy man, a very sensitive and delicate man, but we see his public personality, but in private, he's immensely sensitive.
"When we're sensitive, if we're dealing with very strong, combustible emotion on the outside of us, people tend to go into fight or flight."
Stewart added: "He can't deal with it because of his sensitivity, so he hides. And what Harry's trying to do is to heal that.
"Not out of umbrage, not out of anger or revenge or criticism or accusation…I felt that he was just somebody saying, 'This is the way that it is, and this is why we want to make change'."
