Now, I don't know about you guys, but just the thought of Meghan's book is exhausting. You can almost guarantee it'll be 400 pages of "woe is me, the world was so mean, why doesn't everyone love me" nonsense. As always, Meghan will cast herself as the innocent victim and heroine of her own story, with plenty of veiled digs at the Royals for not letting her shine as bright as she believes she deserves. Oh, and brace yourselves for lots of celebrity name-dropping – groundbreaking stuff, literally.
Expectations will be sky-high after Harry's book performed well, but let's be real – Meghan's writing is nowhere near that level. "The Bench" was truly painful to get through. Some experts claim Meghan sees the memoir as the next evolution, but she ditched the book for a leading role in an Oscar bait film without hesitation. Hollywood might not be clamoring for the Meghan Markle show right now, given the disaster that was "Pearl."
I can imagine Meghan attempting to pull an Angelina Jolie and go for somber, serious roles to be taken more seriously as an artist, but that requires actual talent. Anyway, the point is, Meghan aims to reinvent herself in 2024 as a worldly, important memoirist and sage, attempting to be seen as a graceful, inspiring role model.
Here's my prediction – it'll be a bunch of rambling, self-important drivel that even the most devoted fans will struggle to get through. Meghan lacks the depth or honesty required for a truly compelling memoir. It'll likely be 300 pages too long, bloated, and self-aggrandizing. At the end of the day, she's just not that fascinating.
I'd love to be proven wrong and see her book turn out vulnerable, witty, and insightful, but let's just say I won't be pre-ordering my copy anytime soon. Brace yourselves, royal watchers – it's going to be a bumpy ride. Maybe we can turn it into a drinking game – take a shot every time Meghan praises herself or throws shade at someone. Let's hope Harry brings his heavy editing hand again to trim it down from an over 8,000 pages to a more manageable 300. I believe in you, Harry – give us an abridged version.
Ultimately, Meghan seems unable to quit chasing fame and attention, even after claiming to leave the royals for peace and privacy. I guess Hollywood Meghan is here to stay.
