Royal Expert Advises Meghan Markle to Hold Off on Memoir Amid Public Fatigue
Speculation is rife that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is contemplating the release of her own tell-all memoir, following the success of Prince Harry's memoir, “Spare.”
However, one royal expert cautions that the timing may not be ideal amidst public saturation with stories about the couple.
According to Lynne Couratte from Pressbox PR, 2024 might not be the most opportune moment for Meghan Markle to unveil her memoir.
Couratte expressed concerns that the public could be experiencing fatigue from the plethora of revelations in both “Spare” and Omid Scobie's book, “Endgame,” which have already shed light on various aspects of the Royal Family dynamics.
Couratte highlighted that while there are undoubtedly numerous topics that Meghan Markle would want to address in her memoir, such as her marriage to Prince Harry, her interactions with other royals including King Charles, Camilla, Kate, and William, there remains a certain reticence when it comes to discussing her relationship with her father, Thomas.
In addition to the potential memoir, the Sussexes' book deal with Penguin Random House also encompasses “The Bench,” a children's book penned by Meghan Markle and released in 2021.
Reports from The Mirror suggest that the couple may be collaborating on a wellness book as part of the agreement.
Despite the buzz surrounding Meghan Markle's potential literary endeavors, Couratte suggested that it might be prudent for the Duchess to take a step back from her royal ties before delving into her memoir.
She emphasized the importance of allowing some time to pass before embarking on such a personal project, in order to distance herself from the immediate aftermath of royal disclosures.
Looking ahead, Couratte hinted that there could indeed come a time when an autobiography from Meghan Markle would be met with more enthusiasm and relevance.
However, she cautioned that the present moment might not be conducive to the release of such intimate reflections, urging patience and strategic timing in the unveiling of the Duchess's memoir.
