Meghan Markle has been warned against publishing a tell-all memoir because it would exude a "negative sentiment" and in turn worsen her connection with the Royal Family, it has been claimed.
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, is rumoured to be considering putting pen to paper for a tell-all memoir. The rumours started swirling last year after her husband released his book Spare at the start of 2023.
Harry and Meghan signed a lucrative book deal with Penguin Random House following their departure from the British Royal Family in 2020 when they stepped down as senior working members. The deal is said to see the couple release four books as part of their contract, with two already on bookshelves and two more said to be in the works.

But there have now been claims that Prince Harry wants to "put an end to her plans" to pen a memoir so that he can reconcile with his family in the UK, whom he has been estranged from for several years now.
PR expert Ryan McCormick spoke exclusively to The Mirror: "From a PR perspective, I think Harry made the right decision in kiboshing Meghan's new book which could have strained the relationship with his family even further."
He added: "Would another book by Meghan revealing new tales from Buckingham Palace be successful? I think it will be in the short term. However, in the long term, I can see it fanning the flames of negative sentiment towards Meghan."
Speaking to New magazine, the source explained: "They eventually compromised so that Meghan could work on a book about female empowerment." The source said Meghan's book will focus on her work championing women, instead of "taking fresh swipes at the Royal Family."
