Meghan Markle could potentially pen a memoir
Meghan Markle has been warned against publishing a tell-all memoir as it would involve including a “negative sentiment” and, in turn, worsen her already frosty connection with the Royal Family, it has been claimed.
According to reports, the Duchess of Sussex, 42, is rumoured to be following her husband and putting together a tell-all memoir. The rumours started swirling last year after Harry released his book Spare in January 2023.

The deal is said to include four books as part of their contract, with two already on bookshelves and two more said to be in the works, writes The Mirror.
In June 2021, Meghan’s first book, children’s book The Bench, was released and Prince Harry has already penned his shocking and scathing memoir Spare.
Rumours are also swirling that the pair are working on a third book together, a wellness book, with the fourth rumoured to be a memoir by Meghan – although this has not been confirmed.

However, there have been claims that Prince Harry wants to “put an end to her plans” for a memoir so that he can reconcile with his family in the UK, whom he has been estranged from for several years now.
PR expert Ryan McCormick spoke exclusively to our sister paper The Mirror, he said: “From a PR perspective, I think Harry made the right decision in kiboshing Meghan’s new book which could have strained the relationship with his family even further.”
He added: “Would another book by Meghan revealing new tales from Buckingham Palace be successful? I think it will be in the short term. However, in the long term, I can see it fanning the flames of negative sentiment towards Meghan.”
Speaking to New magazine, the source explained: “They eventually compromised so that Meghan could work on a book about female empowerment.” The source said Meghan’s book will focus on her work championing women, instead of “taking fresh swipes at the Royal Family.”
