Meghan Markle is aware that a major move could potentially earn her 'millions', but the idea reportedly fills King Charles with 'horror'. According to a royal expert, the Duchess of Sussex is fully aware that a memoir detailing her time as a member of the British Royal Family would be a bestseller.
However, royal author and commentator Tom Quinn told The Mirror that the thought of Meghan writing a tell-all memoir - possibly with contributions from Prince Harry - reportedly horrifies the King. Tom stated that Charles "is not in a forgiving mood" and Harry is "in no mood to apologise".
Following the release of his memoir Spare in January 2023, where Harry confessed to leaving out enough content for a second book, tensions have escalated. Tom revealed: "For all her efforts to make a success of her new online business, America Riviera Orchard, Meghan knows that a personal memoir of her time in the UK as a working royal would sell millions of copies and make her the sort of money she craves."
The royal insider continued: "She is also acutely aware that such a book would only boost traffic to her new online business. All this fills King Charles with horror because Harry is bound to be a major contributor to the book. And we know there is a lot more material. After the publication of Spare, Harry himself said he had enough material for two books. With all this hanging over his head, Charles is not in a forgiving mood.
"If Harry were to say to his father and brother, 'Look I've gone too far. I'll stay quiet now and there will be no more embarrassing revelations,' it might be different. But Harry is in no mood to apologise like his wife, he still believes that all the apologies need to come from his family."
These comments from the royal expert came as Harry's visit to the UK for the 10-year anniversary celebration of the Invictus Games wrapped up, during which he did not have a meeting with his father or Prince William. During the Invictus Games service at St Paul's Cathedral in London, Harry shared warm embraces with his late mum, Princess Diana's siblings, Earl Spencer and Lady Jane Fellowes, despite none of the senior royals being present at the ceremony.
Not far away, the Prince of Wales was busy attending his first garden party of the year at Buckingham Palace. Initially, it seemed like Harry and Charles might cross paths, but a spokesperson for the Duke quashed this in a statement: "It unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty's full programme."
Though, rumours of a future royal reunion haven't been completely shut down; the statement subtly suggested that a catch-up could happen soon. It added: "The Duke of course is understanding of his father's diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon."
Post Harry's express England visit, he and Meghan made their way to Nigeria for discussions about the Invictus Games. They engaged with local charities, joined a fundraiser for Nigerian soldiers wounded in battling Islamic extremists, and even paid a visit to the Lagos State Government House.
