Would you buy Meghan’s version of Spare?
Meghan Markle could be in line for a payout of MILLIONS if news and rumours about a memoir come true.
According to a report, the Duchess of Sussex could shock the world if she follows the example set by husband Prince Harry and shares her own bombshells in book form.
Bookies have also predicted that Meghan could “outsell” Harry’s book Spare with her own memoir.
Meanwhile, one writer who has experience of helping stars get their words down on the page reckons Meghan Markle could be in for a huge windfall with her own published account. However, she may need to take a unique approach to pulling it off…

Meghan Markle memoir could earn her ‘millions’
Prince Harry’s own memoir Spare was published in January 2023. It contained eye-opening claims about drugs – and astonishing passages concerning his relationships with his brother Prince William, father King Charles and stepmother Queen Camilla.
Among the more surprising secrets to be spilled were the claims the brothers begged Charles not to marry Camilla, and William and Kate Middleton’s first reaction to hearing about Meghan.
No doubt a similar tome would have Meghan laughing all the way to the bank.
Odds on Meghan releasing a book
According to Casino Beats, Meghan has odds of 1/3 to publish a memoir.
Chavdar Vasilev, spokesperson for Casino Beats, said: “If Meghan Markle does decide to put pen to paper, the public interest for her story would be enormous – and the odds reflect that. Should Markle publish a memoir, it’s heavily backed at 1/5 to outsell Prince Harry’s Spare.
“While 2026 is the current favourite year for a release at 6/4, punters clearly believe it’s a matter of when, not if, Meghan’s memoir hits the shelves. It’s 4/1 that it’ll be released in 2027 and a longer 6/1 for 2028 or later. Being already halfway through the year, a 2025 release is a longer shot at 8/1.”

What might a Meghan Markle memoir include?
Elsewhere, celebrity ghostwriter Joshua Lisec advised she should go about sharing her stories in a different manner.
Speaking to the US Daily Express website, Joshua Lisec suggested Meghan may be best served by penning a “memoir mashup”.
That involves an author relating experiences from the life. However, it is formatted “in the service of a self-help category, a how-to, a personal development”.
He also said it is possible Meghan could write about “finding your own identity as a woman who’s potentially overshadowed by previous relationships”.
The selling point is it’s Meghan’s memoir.
“It’s sort of a find-your-voice, claim-your-identity-as-a-woman,” he added. “And so the selling point is it’s Meghan’s memoir and it has more broader appeal behind her super fans.”

How much would a Meghan memoir be worth?
Additionally, Josh pondered how Meghan could write about her marriage to Prince Harry, suggesting it might make a self-help book titled “How to have a feminist marriage”.
“I’m sure there are a number of people in the world who would be curious how to cultivate a relationship like that and how to raise children like that and travel,” he added.
Josh also indicated he felt there was a 60-70% chance a Meghan memoir will come along in the next three years.
How much might she earn from it? Even if critics don’t like it, Josh believes her fans would love to read all about Meghan’s exploits. And that could mean commanding an advance of between £4million to £9million ($5m to $12m), in his opinion.
