In light of the ongoing health challenges faced by the royal family, Harry has asked Meghan to shelve the book, aiming to alleviate tensions within the family both in the UK and across the pond. A source from a reputable magazine revealed that Harry had openly discussed having enough material for a potential follow-up to his memoir, "Spare." However, these plans have now been scrapped, and he has also put an end to Meghan's book, which became the fastest-selling non-fiction book upon its release on January 10th last year.
In "Spare," Harry made a series of allegations against members of the royal family, including Prince William. He also claimed to have killed 25 enemy combatants during his military service in Afghanistan and accused Queen Camilla of leaking stories about him and his brother. The book sparked a backlash among some members of the public, who rallied in support of the royal family. Since then, the Sussexes have reportedly been working on rebuilding bridges with the Windsors.
While Meghan has long been rumored to be planning her own memoir, a source from the magazine stated that the couple has reached a compromise. Instead of taking another swipe at the Windsor family, Meghan will focus on penning a book about female empowerment. Initially, Harry's suggestion did not sit well with Meghan, but eventually, they found common ground and agreed on the new direction. The insider shared that Meghan is excited to work on a project that promotes female empowerment.
However, achieving reconciliation between the Sussexes and the royals may prove challenging, as Prince William and Catherine are said to be deeply estranged from Harry and Meghan. Royal expert Duncan Lham commented on Meghan's potential memoir, stating that it would not be well received and would cause further distress within the royal family. He added that while "Spare" generated substantial profits, it came at a significant personal cost to Harry. Another memoir would complicate the process of healing the rift within the family.
Both Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace have chosen not to comment on the claims and allegations made in "Spare." Despite the Netflix series and the Oprah Winfrey interview, experts suggest that the royal family has weathered the storm of Harry and Meghan's claims. Lyn Carratt from pressbox PR expressed the belief that King Charles and other senior members of the royal family would not be overly concerned about a potential Meghan Markle memoir. She added that they would be more saddened than anything else, adhering to their infamous motto of never complaining, never explaining, and carrying on with their royal duties as usual.
