Meghan Markle could be set to follow in her husband Prince Harry’s footsteps by releasing a tell-all memoir about her time in the Royal Family, according to a royal expert
Meghan Markle has a “weapon in her back pocket” that she could use for potential “revenge” against the Royal Family, according to an expert.
It has been over four years since she and Prince Harry stepped down as senior Royals, with both being vocal about their struggles within The Firm – highlighted by their bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview and a revealing Netflix series.
Subsequently, Prince Harry published his tell-all book ‘Spare’ last year, shedding light on tensions within the Royal Institution, particularly with King Charles and Prince William. Post-Netflix revelations, Meghan has kept mum regarding any further disclosures about the Royals.
Nonetheless, whispers of Meghan penning her personal memoir have surfaced, spurred by hints dropped in an interview from two years ago; Meghan alluded to maintaining a diary during her Royal role. Veteran former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond said that such a journal suggests an expose could be “in her back pocket.”
Jennie Bond told OK!: “It’s more than two years since she gave that interview, and she has steered clear of controversy about the Royal Family since.

“Obviously, the journal she mentioned will remain a potential weapon in her back pocket if she ever feels the need to seek some sort of revenge.
“But she has behaved with discretion and dignity ever since Oprah and the documentary series. I think she is looking forwards, not backwards and is moving on with her life. So I don’t think we should be raising false alarms about any potential memoir.”
Last year, Meghan opened up to The Cut about her Californian family life post-royal exit and her podcast Archetypes. She revealed that no NDA was required upon her departure from ‘the firm’ and recounted finding a journal at Frogmore Cottage, saying: “You go back, and you open drawers, and you’re like, ‘Oh my gosh. This is what I was writing in my journal there.”

Following Meghan’s disclosures, Sunday Times Royal Editor Roya Nikkhah expressed on True Royalty TV’s The Royal Beat that some remarks were quite revealing.
Nikkhah observed: “The thinly veiled threats that came in [Meghan’s interview with The Cut] …I think [she] probably hopes it does [feel threatening] to the Royal Family… [But] I think there’s a lot of eye-rolling, going, ‘We’re used to this by now’… [But] that phrase, ‘I have a lot to say until I don’t’ and, ‘I’ve never signed anything that restricts me from talking’… there was a very strong inference there.”
She added, “And, of course, the reminder that she keeps a journal, and [her] revelation that, ‘when we came back to Windsor, to Frogmore Cottage for the Jubilee, I rediscovered my journal that I’d left there’ – I was astonished to discover that she had left a highly private diary behind in Windsor, rather than taking it back.
“She’s mentioned a couple of times in the last year or two that she kept a journal, and I think there is a very strong inference that Meghan could write her own memoir.”
