Will Meghan Markle Write Prince Harry's Upcoming Memoir?
Since Meghan Markle has one children's book under her belt, will she help her husband, Prince Harry, with his upcoming memoir?
"It will be interesting to see if his wife, Meghan, writes most of this book — as she seems to write everything else he puts out almost on a daily basis," British photographer Arthur Edwards said.
Phil Dampier — who writes a weekly column for The Royal Observer — also had similar thoughts.
"It makes you wonder what’s coming next. Who knows, Meghan will probably write her memoir as well," he said.
On Monday, July 19, the red-headed royal, 36, announced the big news.
"I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become. I’ve worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story — the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned — I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think," the red-headed royal said in a press release. "I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to share what I’ve learned over the course of my life so far and excited for people to read a firsthand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful."
The dad-of-two said that he was donating the proceeds, but it's unclear if he will keep the advance of $20 million.
"Although Harry’s giving the money from this one to charity, obviously a lot of the other things he and Meghan have been doing have been money-making exercises," Dampier noted. "[Meghan's] already tried to cash in with her children’s book — we were never told the money from The Bench, was going to charity — so there is definitely still that option for her to do a book."
Now that Harry has revealed his latest endeavor, it seems like his brood is bracing for what's to come.
“The royal family is shaken up about the book,” a source told Us Weekly, adding that Prince Charles and Prince William are “particularly concerned about what Harry will reveal."
The insider added, “They haven’t received a copy yet so and don’t know what to expect. It’s making them nervous.”
