Meghan Markle starts 2024 with a humiliating bombshell. And the self-assured Duchess of Sussex might need to develop a taste for humble pie. Because a new report reveals that publishers won’t give Meghan an advance just on the basis of her name and title.
And instead, Meghan must produce a tell-all memoir draft worthy of an advance. But will she do so at the risk of her privacy?
Meanwhile, Prince Harry happily left his sulking Duchess at home while he hung out at a bar with a famous TV cast. Get all the details below.
Duchess Of Sussex ‘Red-Faced’ With Embarrassment
Because Meghan Markle thought that the power of her name and title would get her an instant advance from publishers, the Duchess of Sussex felt shocked to discover her error.
And a royal commentator has revealed that Meghan Markle feels “humiliated” over the situation. Publishers have demanded that the Duchess of Sussex submit her tell-all book draft in order to get paid.
But to keep the publishers happy, Meghan must include some intimate bombshell details. And that means she must choose between getting paid for her memoir or holding onto her privacy, per the Express.
Experts feel that in order for Meghan’s memoir to succeed, she must follow Prince Harry’s lead. And that means dropping bombshells such as the Duke of Sussex did in his memoir Spare. As a result of the couple’s publishing deal, they need to pen several books.
And Meghan does plan to write a memoir, say insiders. However, royal commentator Neil Sean revealed that the Duchess of Sussex must submit three chapters before receiving any payment. As a result, Meghan reportedly feels humiliated that the power of her own name doesn’t suffice to make money up front with her memoir.
Publishers Want To Profit From Meghan Markle
And the royal commentator shared that publishers will make their decision on how much money the book can make versus the advance they would need to pay. “Can you imagine the humiliation when they said they’d like to see at least three chapters first to see how the story pans out. In the world of publishing, this means one thing. They want to see if you’ve got a worthwhile story,” summed up Sean.
Meanwhile, while embarrassed Meghan faces the reality, where’s Prince Harry? Rather than get mad at publishers on behalf of his wife, this lad has decided to hang out with TV stars. And on an outing that left Meghan sulking at home, Harry happily spent time with the cast of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia at a bar. Photos that went viral via the Sun showed actor Rob McElhenney, star of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, posing with his co-star Glenn Howerton and the Duke of Sussex.
And Prince Harry, 39, grinned cheerfully as he stood with Rob, 46, and Glenn, 47 in a bar. The trio also went to a football match between Inter Miami CF and Los Angeles at the FC BMO Stadium in LA. And the Duke of Sussex mingled with an A-list crowd including Leonardo DiCaprio, Selena Gomez, Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis at the game.
Tell us what you predict. Will Meghan Markle satisfy her publishers by penning enough shocking details to make money?
