PRINCE Harry is under pressure to end his £18million Spotify deal after the streaming giant was accused of promoting anti-vaxxer content.
Harry, 37, is set to release podcasts on the same platform as Covid jab sceptic Joe Rogan.
Yet just four months ago the Duke of Sussex hit out at news and social media outlets for “peddling lies” about vaccines.
He claimed the only way to “overcome” Covid-19 was to “break the system” of misinformation.
The Joe Rogan Experience is Spotify’s most listened to podcast — but the American has suggested young people don’t need the Covid vaccine.
Last night a source said of Harry: “Refusing to cut ties with Spotify after they’ve aired anti-vaxxer material is incredibly two-faced.
“If he was that principled, and meant what he said, he’d cut ties, even if at a personal financial cost.”
Rock veteran Neil Young, 76, has demanded that Spotify — which has 172million subscribers — withdraw all his music over its ties to Rogan, 54.

In an open letter, since deleted, he slammed the giant for “spreading fake information about vaccines”.
Harry and wife Meghan previously caused a stir by signing a £112million deal with Netflix — despite anger over the way his mum Diana was portrayed in its hit drama series The Crown.
