Public relations expert Lin Carrata has stepped into the swirl of rumors surrounding Meghan Markle's potential memoir, advising caution in choosing the right time for its release.
With 2024 looming, Carrata suggests that despite Meghan having much to share, the timing may not be optimal, considering the saturation of stories about the couple this year.
Rumors abound that the Duchess of Sussex is contemplating a revealing book, especially in the wake of Prince Harry's publication of his own memoir earlier this year. The couple has a four-book deal with Penguin Random House, with Meghan's book about female empowerment released in June 2021 and Prince Harry's memoir in the works. There are also speculations of a joint well-being book, with the fourth potentially being Meghan's memoir.
Lin Carrata, from debox PR, acknowledges the persistent rumors about Meghan's memoir plans, emphasizing that the intentions likely remain part of her agreement with Penguin. However, she underscores the importance of timing, cautioning that 2024 may not be the right moment for its launch.
Carrata suggests that the public could be fatigued by the deluge of private stories about the couple, signaling that Meghan, with her desire to express opinions and share personal aspects, might need to consider a more opportune time. The public relations expert notes that topics such as Meghan's marriage to Harry, her relationship with King Charles and Camilla, and interactions with Kate and William could be potential content.
While fans may be eager to hear Meghan's perspectives on various aspects of her life, Carrata advises prudence, highlighting that discussions about the content of Prince Harry's memoirs are still ongoing. Considering the intense year the couple has had, marked by revelations from Omid Scobie's book, Carrata suggests that Meghan, if sensible, should seek a quieter time in 2024.
This would allow her to step back from the royal family partnership, providing a period for healing in silence before delving into her philanthropic work. According to Carrata, there will be a future moment when an autobiography becomes relevant, but that moment may not be now.
