However, the Duchess of Sussex appears to be in no rush to pen her memoir just yet. Commentator Kinsey Scoffield, a royal expert, pointed out that Meghan doesn't currently have a happy ending to her story. Scoffield drew parallels with Britney Spears's book, highlighting how the singer discussed her conservatorship and moments of personal triumph. In Meghan's case, there hasn't been a positive climax to her narrative as of now.
Sources close to the couple have suggested that Meghan is biding her time to gather more material about the royal family before writing her memoir. Additionally, delaying the divorce from Harry could potentially be financially advantageous for Meghan. Speculation arose from a blind item indicating that Meghan's deal with WME, a talent agency, involved an upfront payment, akin to a retainer. This agreement suggests that WME will represent Meghan until the funds run out, particularly during the period post-divorce when she may seek to monetize her story.
However, there are alleged under-the-table threats to reveal sensitive information about Meghan, which could be contributing to the delay. Samantha Markle's lawsuit, if it goes into discovery, might bring to light additional documents, texts, and depositions, adding to the public record. This situation appears to have left Meghan in a somewhat precarious position.
It's important to note that Meghan's primary asset in the public eye has often been her portrayal of victimhood. If she were to strike out on her own and attempt to position Harry as an aggressor, it could potentially lead to the release of more damaging information about her. Meghan's situation is further complicated by dwindling financial resources, as her available funds have reportedly been depleted.
While Meghan may aspire to emulate the trajectory of Princess Diana, whose popularity grew after her divorce, the prevailing sentiment suggests that Meghan's path may differ. Some observers believe that Meghan's divorce from Harry would further erode her social standing. Her reported orchestration of a Beyoncé concert as a date night for Harry, only for him to realize the calculated nature of the event, has added to the tensions in their relationship.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Meghan's memoir plans, her relationship with Harry, and potential revelations about her life in the public eye will intersect and impact her future.
