Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been cautioned against releasing a tell-all memoir in 2024, despite having a wealth of experiences and stories to share.
Speculation has been rife about Meghan’s intentions to pen a revealing book, particularly following the publication of Prince Harry‘s memoir, Spare, earlier this year.
The royal couple has a book deal with Penguin Random House for a total of four books, with Meghan having already authored The Bench in June 2021.
Reports suggest that they are also collaborating on a wellness book, leaving room for Meghan’s potential memoir to be the fourth installment.
PR expert Lynne Kerratt from Pressbox PR weighed in on the ongoing rumors surrounding Meghan’s literary endeavors, indicating that there have been persistent whispers about her memoir project.
“I am certain that it remains part of their agreement with Penguin,” Kerratt shared with the Mirror.
However, she emphasized the significance of timing in the release of such a personal account, suggesting that 2024 may not be the most opportune moment.
Kerratt pointed out that the public could be experiencing saturation with narratives concerning the Sussexes, potentially leading to fatigue among audiences.
Commenting on the possible themes that Meghan might address in her memoir, Kerratt highlighted that there are numerous aspects of her life that she may wish to shed light on.
From her marriage to Prince Harry to her interactions with other members of the royal family such as King Charles, Camilla, Kate, and William, Meghan is likely to delve into a range of topics.
Kerratt noted that while fans may be eager to hear about Meghan’s relationship with her father, Thomas Markle, she has historically been more reserved about that aspect of her personal history.
Moreover, Kerratt acknowledged that discussions surrounding Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare, had left a lasting impact on readers and commentators alike.
The revelations contained within the best-selling book had sparked renewed interest in the couple’s story, setting the stage for potential revelations in Meghan’s own memoir.
