Meghan Markle is not one to back down even when it comes to her husband, Prince Harry.
In its Dec. 27 issue, Heat UK claimed that Markle recently decided to write a memoir so that she could compete with Prince Harry.
A source claimed that Markle is a talented writer so she doesn’t need to allot so much time before she can have her book published. Prince Harry, on the other hand, needs an entire team to help him out.
“The thinking is that Meghan can release her own memoir several months earlier because she’s a quick writer and will take a different tone to Harry. She’s well aware of other biographies and documentaries being made about her and wants to control the narrative. It’s a question of when not if – and she won’t be afraid to ruffle a few feathers in the royal family with it,” the source said.
Other than her competition with Prince Harry, Markle also wants to release a memoir to answer all the questions that royal fans have about her.
The Duchess of Sussex is aware that other royal authors are writing stories and documentaries about her. But she believes that the best source for the most accurate information about her life is herself.
Markle is also allegedly tired of all the criticisms that she’s been receiving. So, she wants to correct the narrative in the hopes that the public’s perception of her would finally change.
“She wants to defend herself and state the facts as she sees them. Besides, she has great confidence in her ability as a writer. She has a crisp and articulate style that is a publisher’s dream,” the source said.
Even though there’s a possibility for Markle’s memoir to be released before Prince Harry’s book, the latter couldn’t allegedly care less. In fact, the Duke of Sussex is supportive of his wife and whatever it is that she wants to do.
However, one should still take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt because there’s no indication that Markle wants to compete with her husband.
And even if she will release her own memoir, it will be different from Prince Harry’s book because they have different life experiences.
Even Barack Obama and Michelle Obama released their memoirs just months apart from each other. But it never caused problems in their marriage.
