Word on the street—or rather, in Vanity Fair—is that Meghan Markle’s team once floated the idea of a juicy memoir about her life after divorcing Prince Harry. And no, we’re not making this up! This alleged pitch reportedly went down a couple of years ago while Meghan and Harry were still playing house in Montecito. Awkward much?
According to sources, the duchess’s team allegedly approached a publishing house with a hypothetical book idea. “Hypothetical,” as in, “Let’s just say, if Meghan and Harry were to uncouple consciously (or not so consciously), would you guys be down to slap a seven-figure deal on it?” The timing of this bold pitch remains fuzzy, but the gist was clear: a potential tell-all about life post-Harry. Not “life after her first husband, Trevor Engelson,” mind you, but the next-level breakup book. Apparently, it was all about future-proofing that royal tea, just in case the kettle ever boiled over.
Now, we know what you’re thinking: “Why in the Windsor castle would you pitch a divorce book when the royal lovebirds are still cooing over each other?” Great question! The source didn’t spill the exact rationale, but we can all agree it raises an eyebrow—or two. Were there cracks in the crown’s foundation even back then? Or was this just a case of Meghan’s team getting their hustle on in the world of “what if”?
To make things juicier, another source chimed in with a cryptic response that can be summarized as: “Well, IF this happened, Meghan herself wouldn’t have initiated it—someone would’ve approached HER.” Translation: Even if this book pitch existed, Meghan might’ve just been casually sipping her matcha latte when the idea landed on her lap. Plausible? Sure. Weird? Absolutely.
Ultimately, nothing came of the alleged pitch. No manuscript. No deal. No tell-all chapters about who got custody of the Netflix password. But let’s be real: if Meghan and Harry ever do go their separate ways (knock on royal mahogany), publishers will be throwing offers at her like wedding confetti.
So, what’s your take? Was Meghan Markle’s team really scouting for potential post-Prince book deals? Or is this just another chapter in the tabloid fantasy novel?
