Prince Harry’s decision to publish his memoir is expected to have long-lasting consequences, according to a royal commentator.
Meanwhile, there are reports that Meghan Markle may also be considering releasing her own tell-all book.
Speaking to Sky News Australia, Russell Myers, the Mirror’s royal editor, described Harry’s memoir as a bombshell that has had a significant impact on the royal family.
The book has strained Harry’s relationship with his father, King Charles, and his brother, Prince William.
Myers believes that the repercussions of this publication will continue to be felt in the coming years, and it remains uncertain whether Harry can mend his ties with the family.
However, spare is unlikely to be the last book from the Sussexes, as several experts suggest that Meghan might be planning to publish an autobiography in the future.
A Hollywood agent shared with the Mail on Sunday that it would be surprising if Meghan didn’t share her own story, given the compelling nature of her experiences, including marrying a prince.
If Meghan has political ambitions, it would make even more sense for her to release a book.
PR guru Matt Yanofsky predicts that Meghan’s book would likely be a huge success, but he cautions that it may not be a wise move for the Duchess.
He suggests that Meghan could follow Princess Diana’s example and collaborate with an authorized biographer, as Diana did for her book in the 90s.
Yanofsky also points out that there are many avenues for Meghan to capitalize on her connection to the royal family, given her celebrity status.
If the fallout from Harry’s memoir wasn’t damaging enough to the Sussexes’ relationship with the Firm, another blow came from Meghan’s former biographer, Omid Scobie.
His book, “Endgame,” brought up past scandals and issues that the House of Windsor, including Harry and Meghan, would have preferred to keep out of the spotlight.
Rebecca English, the Daily Mail royal editor, explains that these revelations have created uncomfortable situations that the family had hoped to bury.
English recalls a member of the Sussexes’ team declaring that they were moving on from projects related to the royal family after the controversies surrounding Harry’s memoir and the Netflix documentary.
However, they have not pursued any royal family-related projects since then.
English suggests that the couple’s hopes of moving forward may have been overly optimistic.
In conclusion, Prince Harry’s memoir has had far-reaching consequences for his relationship with his family, and it is expected that these repercussions will continue for years to come.
The possibility of Meghan Markle publishing her own book adds to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding the Sussexes.
While the success of such a publication is likely, experts caution that it may not be the best decision for Meghan.
The release of Omid Scobie’s book further strained the Sussexes’ ties with the royal family, unearthing past scandals and issues that they had hoped to leave behind.
Despite their intention to focus on their own projects, the couple’s attempts to move forward have faced challenges.
Only time will tell if they can find a way back into the fold.
