According to the Hollywood gossip columnist Janet Charlton, there are swirling rumors that Megan Markle is secretly penning her autobiography.
Despite the absence of official confirmation from the Duchess herself, a reliable source claims that she has already crafted approximately one-third of the manuscript. What's even more intriguing is her proposed title for the memoir – "Shade." The choice of this word holds significant symbolism, as it used to carry derogatory connotations towards Black individuals.
The source hints that it's a direct response to alleged instances of shade thrown at Megan by a member of the royal family, who questioned the potential skin tone of her and Prince Harry's unborn son, Archie.
Biographer Tom Bower, renowned for his work on Megan and Harry's book "Revenge," shared insights on GB News in September, suggesting that Megan's memoir could be a lucrative venture. This literary endeavor appears to have roots dating back, as a source mentioned in 2021 that Prince Harry's memoir was part of a four-book deal, which initially included a wellness guide by Megan.
Interestingly, Megan's children's book, "The Bench," was published by Random House Children's Books, owned by the same publisher as Harry's works, Penguin Random House. While speculations hint at a potential third book, the contractual details remain ambiguous.
In the intricate world of publishing, there are claims that Megan has been asked to produce three chapters before receiving any payment. Neil Sha, a royal commentator, sheds light on the cautious approach of publishers, emphasizing the need for top-level security to prevent leaks that could jeopardize the entire deal. The industry's interest is undeniable, but the negotiation process is evidently meticulous.
On the flip side, Lady Colin Campbell asserts that Megan Markle should refrain from writing a memoir, citing public disillusionment with their constant antics and alleged fabrications. Lady C expresses skepticism, suggesting that people might not be inclined to buy Megan's book, drawing parallels to the underwhelming reception of the book "Endgame." While opinions on Megan's potential literary venture remain divided, the speculation surrounding the contents of her autobiography and its potential impact on her reputation continues to fuel discussions.
