Meghan Markle's Greatest Hits: Duchess of Sussex Retelling of Past Troubles 'Could Play Very Badly' for New Projects

For many, Meghan Markle's big revelatory moments during the August 4, CBS Sunday Morning interview with Prince Harry involved issues she already recounted to Oprah Winfrey 3.5 years ago.

"You know, these comments by Meghan do feel a bit like there could be an appetite among Harry and Meghan for telling at least some elements of this story again," royal correspondent Jack Royston said on a recent episode of "The Royal Report" podcast.

"We know that Meghan did not like being told she couldn't talk," he added. "You know, it was one of the big lines from the Oprah interview, was Oprah saying, 'Were you silent or were you silenced?' And she's talked lots of times about losing her voice when she joined the monarchy, and wanting to get her voice back, and wanting to be able to talk."

"But honestly, if I was advising Meghan, I would tell her not to revisit this issue," Royston continued when highlighting how it could look weaponized in light of the Duchess' new initiatives. "You know, this project about social media and mental health is an area that really genuinely concerns parents right up and down the age range of young kids."

"It's a massive issue and I think Harry and Meghan's focus here needs to be on turning this project towards creating actual solutions and advice and resources for parents so that they can have some sense that they know what to do when their kids hit that age when they want social media but are also extremely vulnerable to its darker side," Royston further observed.

"If they can get on kind of a positive footing here and have a positive message about making things better, improving the situation for parents, then I think it could be a fantastic project. You know, if they can give parents something they really, truly need, then Americans will thank them for it. And actually, all over the world as well, because this is an issue all over the planet," the correspondent explained.

"But," he pointed out, "If they wind up getting too far into their royal beef and all of that negative history that people have heard before anyway, then they will come out looking like they've potentially politicized, certainly if it's in the context of this project, that they've politicized a really important issue that actually deserves to be viewed in a nonpartisan way."

This insight comes amid reports suggesting the Montecito Duchess could be currently writing her memoirs after a recent stall in her new Netflix programs and lifestyle brand were shared.
