Since relocating to America in 2020 alongside her husband, Prince Harry, both have faced significant backlash for their claims against the royal family. With their popularity plummeting in recent polls, Meghan has remained tight-lipped about her next career move.
Royal author Tom Bower recently suggested on GB News that Meghan is indeed working on her memoirs, aiming to follow in Harry's footsteps, who released his tell-all memoir, "Spare," in January. However, there's a caveat. Meghan has been cautioned that if she uses her memoirs to make further claims against the royals, it could exacerbate her unpopularity on both sides of the Atlantic.
Nile Gardner, a Washington-based royal enthusiast and foreign policy expert, shared his perspective with the Daily Express. He emphasized that Meghan is already highly unpopular in both the US and the UK, with her negative image surpassing even that of Harry. Gardner stressed that no amount of money, even a substantial investment in a PR makeover, would be able to salvage her damaged reputation. Both American and British citizens now see through any attempts to enhance her image.
While Meghan's memoirs could potentially become bestsellers, experts suggest that they may do more harm than good to her image, especially in the US. Recent polling from Newsweek in her home country indicated that her popularity had fallen even below Harry's in the UK.
Entertainment expert Mark Boardman pointed out that Meghan's unique status as a former royal family member and her celebrity status generate significant interest in her personal story. As a result, her memoirs could become a lucrative venture, with potential earnings ranging from several million dollars for the advance alone to tens of millions when considering royalties, international rights, and related opportunities.
High-profile memoirs typically secure substantial advance payments from publishers, and the terms of such deals often aim to maximize sales while minimizing potential conflicts and lawsuits.
