Since stepping away from their royal roles, tensions between the Sussexes and the rest of the royals have persisted. While Harry and Meghan have profited from sharing their version of events, the royal family has remained mostly silent on the matter.
Though it may seem that the dust has settled on Harry and Meghan's narrative, there are whispers within the palace that Meghan's other business ventures might not pan out, leading her to contemplate writing an autobiography. The allure of a royal tell-all book, with its potential financial gains, remains a concern for the family.
Reports suggest the royal family's worry regarding Meghan Markle's potential autobiography. Prince Harry's memoir, titled "Spare," garnered him approximately $20 million. While the revelations in the memoir posed challenges for the royals, constrained by their longstanding motto of "never complain, never explain," they refrained from directly addressing the accusations and incidents detailed in the book.
Now, insiders within royal circles are raising the alarm about the prospect of Meghan penning her autobiography. Such a book could delve into her rise to fame as an actress and also shed light on her experiences within the royal family, including the controversial allegations about Archie's skin color. A source shared with The Telegraph that if Meghan and Harry's upcoming Netflix project, a film adaptation of "Meet Me at the Lake," doesn't fare well, Meghan might contemplate another book endeavor. The insider expressed concerns that Meghan might reveal the identity of the 'royal racist' if she goes ahead with an autobiography.
In response to the claims about Archie's skin color, the royal family issued an unusual statement. The family appeared to downplay the situation and suggest that there were differing recollections of events. While they acknowledged the seriousness of the issues raised, they implied that they would address them privately.
The language used in the statement indicates a desire to minimize and perhaps contradict Harry and Meghan's account. Despite this, insiders suggest that the royals are anxious that Meghan might take her storytelling a step further by naming the royal allegedly involved in the racial comment and recounting her own perspective on her time within the royal family. While the possibility of a memoir exists, Meghan's focus for now appears to be on building her brand alongside Harry in the United States before considering any autobiographical ventures.
