Another royal drama may be brewing — and this time, it’s happening behind palace gates and Montecito mansion walls.
Sources claim Meghan Markle is seriously considering dropping a tell-all memoir that would finally share her unfiltered version of life inside the royal family. But there’s just one major problem: Prince Harry is reportedly doing everything he can to stop it.
According to insiders, Meghan, 44, has been approached multiple times by major publishers offering eye-popping, multimillion-dollar advances to write her story. And not just a light lifestyle book — but a deeply personal account of her time as a working royal, the tensions that followed, and the dramatic 2020 exit that reshaped the monarchy.
Since stepping back from royal duties and relocating to California in 2020, Meghan and Harry have built a new life in Montecito with their two children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.
They’ve already shared parts of their experience in their headline-making interview with Oprah Winfrey and in Harry’s explosive 2023 memoir, Spare.
But sources say Meghan feels there’s more to tell.
Insiders claim she believes key chapters of her life within the royal institution have been misunderstood or told from other perspectives — and she wants the chance to set the record straight in her own words.
From a publishing standpoint, the appetite is reportedly massive. Industry insiders say offers on the table could rival the biggest celebrity memoir deals in recent years — but only if she delivers detailed, candid insights about her time inside the monarchy.
And that’s exactly what makes Harry nervous.
While Meghan may see a memoir as empowerment — and a major financial win — Harry is said to be viewing the situation through a very different lens.
Sources close to the couple claim the Duke of Sussex worries another deeply personal, headline-dominating book could permanently derail any fragile efforts to mend fences with his family.
Harry previously reunited briefly with his father, King Charles III, for a private meeting last year. Though no formal reconciliation has followed, the prince has publicly expressed a desire to heal family divisions.
Insiders say he fears revisiting old conflicts in print would reopen wounds and harden positions on all sides — potentially closing the door on any future royal reunion for good.
Adding another layer of tension? The financial stakes.
Sources say publishers are prepared to “write a blank check” — but only for a book that dives deeply into palace life, internal tensions, and private conflicts. A general lifestyle memoir reportedly wouldn’t spark the same level of interest.
Meanwhile, Meghan and Harry’s business ventures have faced mixed results. Her Netflix lifestyle series With Love, Meghan has not been renewed for a third season, and her lifestyle brand As Ever recently faced online scrutiny after a website glitch appeared to show unusually large inventory numbers — though insiders insist that reflected expansion plans, not lagging sales.
Between security, staffing, travel, and maintaining their California estate, sources say their monthly overhead remains significant. From Meghan’s perspective, a blockbuster memoir deal could provide long-term financial stability.
Despite the buzz, no contract has been signed and no manuscript is underway — yet.
Insiders say Meghan’s circle is urging her to move quickly while global interest remains high. But Harry remains cautious, reportedly worried about the long-term personal fallout.
For now, the project sits in limbo — suspended between a potentially historic payday and the fragile hope of family reconciliation.
One thing’s clear: if Meghan ever does decide to put pen to paper, the world will be watching.
