Unfortunately, this partnership may not bode well for Meghan's literary aspirations. Sales figures from the Daily Mail indicate that "Endgame" sold fewer than 6,500 copies in Britain. Beyond the UK, the book struggled on Amazon, with reviewers criticizing it for rehashing material that seemed similar to Prince Harry's own memoir. Rumors that Meghan encouraged Omid to name Princess Catherine and King Charles as so-called Royal discriminators in his book have further fueled backlash and skepticism surrounding her upcoming memoir. A source close to an insider has suggested that Meghan's approach to the memoir involves heavy reliance on AI tools and keywords, leading to concerns that the content may lack authenticity.
Critics argue that Meghan's memoir will likely rehash old news without offering any genuinely new insights. They also point out manipulated photos that appear to place her in Beyoncé's inner circle, walking with Kevin Costner in her gardens, and even observing Harry undergoing a hair transplant procedure. Some find it disconcerting that Meghan is still capitalizing on her brief time as a working royal, with seemingly contradictory narratives.
In contrast, Royal commentator Richard Eden suggests a path for the Sussexes to mend the ongoing feud with the Royal Family. He believes that for Harry and Meghan to find a way back into royal life, they must first apologize to those they've offended and betrayed. Eden emphasizes that Christmas, a time associated with forgiveness, offers an opportunity for reconciliation. However, he notes that until the couple shows genuine contrition and demonstrates a willingness to make amends, their return to royal life remains uncertain.
This context arises as Sarah, the Duchess of York, recently joined the royal family at the Sandringham Christmas service, marking a significant gesture of forgiveness and reconciliation. While the situations are distinct, Eden points to this as a potential model for the Sussexes to follow in their quest to mend relations within the royal fold.
