Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped away from their royal duties in 2020, their lives have been a whirlwind of controversy, drama, and public feuds.
The term "Megxit," which marked their exit from the British Royal Family, continues to stir public intrigue. Now, it appears Meghan may be preparing her ultimate "revenge move" in the form of a tell-all memoir. However, reports suggest that this alleged plan may be a desperate attempt to stay relevant, as some publishers are said to be hesitant about signing her on.
Insiders, speaking to Closer magazine, claim Meghan is attempting to land a lucrative book deal, with figures reaching astronomical heights. Rumors of a potential deal worth up to $100 million have been circulating, with speculation that it could also include a biopic about her life. Yet, this raises a crucial question—what does Meghan truly have to reveal that would justify such a staggering payout?
Recent reports have painted Meghan in a less-than-flattering light, with allegations of her being difficult to work with. Claims that she mistreats staff and exhibits a controlling demeanor have earned her the nickname "Duchess Difficult" in some circles. With such allegations swirling, it’s hard to imagine how she could credibly "spill the tea" on the Royal Family while battling these controversies in her own household. The question remains: would her memoir be taken seriously when her personal conduct is under such scrutiny?
Sources suggesting that Meghan has had an "extraordinary journey" seem a bit far-fetched. While she’s undoubtedly had unique experiences, Meghan has often been accused of crafting narratives that may not withstand close examination. After all, she has been distanced from royal life for several years now and is unlikely to possess many new insights into the monarchy’s inner workings. If she’s banking on a payday based solely on her brief stint as a royal, she may be setting herself up for disappointment.
Public memory holds that Meghan spoke openly about her mental health struggles during her pregnancy with Archie, even claiming that the Royal Family did not support her during this time. These remarks were surprising to some, considering that the monarchy had, at various points, offered her considerable support. Meanwhile, Prince Harry’s apparent longing for his former life has led to increased speculation about their strained relationships with the Royal Family, particularly Prince William and Kate. With so much tension still unresolved, many are left wondering if now is the right moment for Meghan to release a memoir.
Some insiders believe Meghan is waiting for the perfect opportunity to reveal her version of events, claiming that she has an incredible story to tell. However, there are questions about how many "remarkable" stories one person can share. Will her memoir delve into her struggles as a biracial actress in Hollywood, the fairy tale of her royal wedding, or the challenges she faced in the royal spotlight? For someone who claims to have endured so much, the concern is that her approach may veer toward sensationalism rather than substance.
As for the rumored book deal, the idea of Meghan attempting to sell her story has elicited some amusement. Her past actions suggest a pattern of walking away when circumstances no longer suit her, raising doubts about whether this memoir is simply another bid to reclaim lost status. There’s also the issue that this book could further damage Harry’s already fragile relationship with the Royal Family, complicating his efforts to rebuild those ties.
Whether or not Meghan secures a massive book deal remains to be seen, but the narrative she seems poised to tell feels a bit worn. With Harry's memoir Spare already on shelves, the public is left wondering what's real and what’s been fabricated. If Meghan hopes to make a significant impact with a memoir filled with half-truths or embellished stories, she may need to reconsider her strategy.
