The disappearing Duchess | Daily Mail Online

Meghan Markle was “more cautious” about the release of Prince Harry’s memoir, the sources claimed, as the Duchess was conspicuously absent from her lengthy media tour.

The royal couple usually present a united front, with Prince Harry appearing at the end of his wife’s interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.

She’s made a number of cameos since then, from sitting in the audience with schoolchildren in New York while Meghan promoted her book The Bench, to window juggling at the end of her 40th birthday video.

“We are like salt and pepper,” Meghan once said. We always move together.

But when Harry released his explosive Spare memoir, Meghan has been conspicuously absent.

The royal couple usually bond, with Prince Harry appearing at the end of his wife’s interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.

The memoirs include claims that the Prince of Wales physically attacked and taunted him for his panic attacks, and that the King put his own interests above Harry’s and was jealous of the Duchess of Sussex and Princess of Welsh.

The prince has been involved in a number of high-profile media engagements since the book’s release on January 10, including an interview with Anderson Cooper for CBS’s 60 Minutes.

He also appeared on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Very Lonely.

sources have said the Telegraph that if Meghan had been involved in any aspect of the book’s promotion, she may well have been accused of trying to steal the spotlight.

Others have suggested that Meghan’s absence sends a message: This is Harry’s project.

A source close to the couple said Meghan was “more concerned” about the extremely personal memories than the prince, adding that she might have raised “mild concerns”.

But, the newspaper reports, once Harry made the decision to go ahead with the two-year project with ghostwriter JR Moehringer, the Duchess continued to support him.

‘Is this the way she would have approached things? Possibly not,’ said a source.

“But she will always support him and would never have gotten involved in promoting such a personal project. It’s about her own life, her own journey and her own perspective.’

It was claimed last week that Spare has become the best-selling nonfiction book since records began in 1998.

The Duke of Sussex’s autobiography has sold 750,000 copies in all formats (print, audio and e-book) in the UK since its publication on January 10.

This makes it the best-selling memoir in its first week of publication, according to publisher Transworld, the British division of Penguin Random House.

Official figures from Nielsen BookData showed that the book, which was written by notorious ghostwriter JR Moehringer, sold 467,183 copies in print in its first week alone.

In an American broadcast promoting the play, Harry called the Duchess of Cornwall a “villain” and “dangerous”, accusing her of rehabilitating her image at the expense of his.

As the duke continued a series of high-profile promotional interviews, he said he would “like nothing more” for his sons to have relationships with the royal family.

His comments about his son and daughter came despite criticism he has leveled at his brother William, father Charles and stepmother Camilla.

He also described his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, as his “guardian angel” and said that she is with him “all the time”.
