Now ‘isn’t the right time’ for a tell-all memoir from Meghan Markle as the public are ‘overloaded with stories’ about Duke and Duchess of Sussex
Now 'wouldn't be the right time' for Meghan Markle to release a tell-all memoir about her royal life, a PR expert has warned the Duchess of Sussex.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have repeatedly shared insights into their lives since moving abroad in early 2020, most recently with Prince Harry Spare's memoir.
The book, released in January 2023, made a number of bombshell claims about the royal family, with the Daily Mail's royal editor Rebecca English pointing out that it was a clear 'villain' of Prince William.
There is widespread speculation that Meghan, 42, could be considering a story of her own after the couple reportedly signed a four-book deal with Penguin Random House.
So far, Meghan has published the children's book The Bench, Harry has written Spare and it's rumored that the third book could be a co-authored wellness guide.

This leaves a fourth, and there is much speculation that Meghan could be planning a memoir of her own.
But Lynn Carratt, of Press Box PR, has warned that early 2024 would not be the right time for its publication as the public is “overloaded with stories” about the Duke and Duchess.
Asked about the rumored publishing plan, Ms. Carratt said The mirror: 'I'm sure this is still the plan and it will be part of their deal with Penguin, but timing is everything and 2024 wouldn't be the right time for its release.
“There are a lot of things Meghan wants to say and give her opinion on.
'She'll want to [to] conversation [about] her marriage to Harry, her relationship with King Charles and Camilla, Kate and William. I'm sure fans would like her to talk about her relationship with her father Thomas, but she's not very open about that side of her life.”
The expert said that if Meghan is “wise,” she will “look for a quieter time in 2024” to allow a rift created by Spare and Obie Scobie's Endgame to “peacefully heal.”
It comes as the Daily Mail's royal editor said the Duke of Sussex, 39, surprised audiences by portraying the Prince of Wales, 41, as a vile figure in his memoir Spare.
“We thought it might be the king and queen who were the villains of the piece, but it turned out it was actually his older brother,” Rebecca said.

Speaking to Daily Mail diary editor Richard Eden and presenter Jo Elvin, Rebecca drew a link between William's vile portrayal and Harry's details of an explosive brotherly argument described in the book.
Harry claimed he was left with visible 'scrapes and bruises' after he was allegedly attacked by his brother. He claimed: '[William] grabbed me by the collar, tore my chain and knocked me to the ground.'
The father-of-three's long-awaited memoir hit bookshelves around the world in January this year, becoming the biggest-selling memoir ever in its first week of publication, according to publisher Transworld, the UK division of Penguin Random House.

From colorful revelations about Harry's frozen penis to more serious topics of a fraternal rift and intricate details of a private feud between Kate Middleton, 41, and Meghan, the book raised eyebrows around the world.
For Rebecca, it was information about a specific feud between William and Harry, in which the Prince of Wales was portrayed as a 'bad guy'.
“They did everything together, so to see that blow up like that once and for all was actually really sad to see,” Rebecca said.
She added that the explosive details in Spare have resulted in William's radio silence on Harry – a reality that the royal editor said is unlikely to change anytime soon.
