'Sitting on a Goldmine': Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Incentive to Attack the Crown Again Would Destroy Reconciliation Hopes
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly "sitting on a goldmine" when it comes to their next potential attack on the British Crown.
About the Duchess of Sussex, royal author Tom Bower told an outlet, "The only thing she has got left — and I think that is her potential gold mine — is her autobiography."
"Eventually, Meghan is going to want to write her memoir, Harry is going to want to update Spare, and they are going to want to sit down and promote themselves on TV," a Sussex insider shared. "They will not shy away from answering questions about the royals... For now, they're biding their time."
Musings about a potential Meghan-penned autobiography have been brewing since shortly after Harry's became a bestseller in January 2023, but some analysts near publishing circles think it's wise the pair have waited on spitting out more books.
"Fans are fickle," one insider stated. "Disappoint them once, and a book can freefall into irrelevance super quickly, even with the momentum of something like Spare behind it. Their team, who are good at what they do, wants to make the angry mobs salivate for it before throwing Meghan's story to the masses because even the bad press is good press for this couple."
They further observed how: "That interview on CBS was all about re-wetting appetites for those who love drama, which is why she brought up all the palace self-harm again."
The Duchess of Sussex's 2022 interview in The Cut is also regaining attention lately thanks to what some analysts are calling the laying of the groundwork for the potential Meghan book.
"You go back and you open drawers and you're like: 'Oh my gosh. This is what I was writing in my journal there?'" the former actress told the publication at that time. "I can say anything... I have a lot to say until I don't. Do you like that? Sometimes, as they say, the silent part is still part of the song."
Penguin Random House inked a four-book deal with the royal rebels of which two tomes have been delivered so far: Spare and Meghan's 2021 children's book The Bench. This has royal analysts nearly certain the last two will be Harry's previously hinted-at sequel to his tell-all, which "destroyed his relationship with his family, possibly forever," and a Meghan memoir.
This led Bower to call the Duchess the "silent weapon in reserve" as the pair's battle with the royals is set to continue.
"We're still waiting for Meghan's own autobiography, which I'm sure she's penning — she's a good writer, and it will be filled with vitriol and filled with lies," he told a publication. "She will not tell the truth because she wants a sensational headline... That is the ultimate weapon she can deploy."
