Entertainment journalist Mark Boardman has raised the intriguing possibility that Meghan's memoir could ignite controversies and reignite discussions about her association with the royal family, particularly if she decides to unveil undisclosed details.
Boardman contemplated whether revealing her life story might present a considerable challenge for her admirers, especially in the wake of their Netflix series. "Any further revelations or 'bombshells' pertaining to her royal tenure could significantly influence her professional trajectory and public perception in diverse ways, potentially making a comeback exceedingly challenging," the reporter remarked. "Nonetheless, such a memoir undoubtedly possesses the potential to yield substantial financial gains, both in terms of book sales and potential media deals."
It is worth noting that Prince Harry's book, "Spare," achieved record-breaking first-day sales for a non-fiction title published by Penguin Random House. Boardman believes that Meghan's narrative could mirror this success, stating, "Meghan Markle stands to amass a significant sum from her memoir, with an advance ranging from several million dollars to potentially tens of millions, encompassing royalties, international rights, and ancillary opportunities. Public figures of her stature often secure substantial advances from publishers."
Beyond the prospect of her memoir, previous reports from OK! have suggested that the Sussexes might explore a collaboration with the Kardashian family to expand their reach.
Nonetheless, there is a degree of skepticism within the industry regarding this partnership. A source cautioned, "Venturing down this path could dilute their individual brand, potentially eroding the unique allure they once possessed upon entering the public eye." The commentator did acknowledge that the financial benefits could outweigh Meghan's reservations, noting, "Why not align with one of the most successful brands globally to mold your own narrative? It's a strategic move."
Intriguingly, an insider with connections to the Kar-Jenner clan has hinted at Kris Jenner's hopes for a possible royal cameo on "The Kardashians." "It's no coincidence that the Kardashians share social circles with Meghan's new connections," the source divulged. "A collaboration between these two influential families seems promising, but Kris is treading cautiously, not wanting to push too forcefully, too soon."
"Even if it results in a brief appearance, it would be a significant win for Kris. The business aspects are already in motion and appear highly lucrative," they added.
