Meghan Markle’s Alleged Divorce Book Deal Rumors Denied by Sources
Recent rumors suggesting that Meghan Markle was approached for a book deal detailing a hypothetical divorce from Prince Harry have been firmly denied by those close to the Duchess of Sussex. These claims, which surfaced in a Vanity Fair article, suggested that Meghan was in talks for a project that would explore her life post-divorce. However, insiders close to the Duchess have dismissed these allegations as baseless.
Debunking the Rumors
The proposed book was reportedly unrelated to Meghan’s first marriage to film producer Trevor Engelson but instead focused on a speculative narrative involving a potential separation from Prince Harry. Sources close to Meghan have clarified that such a project was never initiated by her team. “If there were any truth to this, Meghan would have been approached, not the other way around,” said a trusted confidant of the Duchess.
This denial comes amidst ongoing speculation about the state of Harry and Meghan’s relationship. In recent months, rumors of tension emerged as Harry undertook several public engagements without Meghan by his side. These included solo trips to New York and the UK, while Meghan remained in their Montecito home.
Criticism from Montecito Neighbors
The Vanity Fair article also highlighted criticism from the couple’s Montecito neighbors, who reportedly labeled Harry and Meghan as “entitled” and “disingenuous.” Some locals questioned the couple’s decision to leave the UK to escape media scrutiny, only to seemingly seek media attention in the US.
“They moved to escape the press but continue to court media attention here,” one neighbor remarked. Critics also accused the Sussexes of trying to cherry-pick the benefits of fame while avoiding its downsides, a sentiment echoed by celebrity commentator Lainey Gossip.
Harry’s Deep Fears and Meghan’s Role
The article delved into Prince Harry’s fears of history repeating itself, drawing parallels between Meghan’s media experiences and the tragic fate of his mother, Princess Diana. In a 2019 statement, Harry expressed concern about his wife’s treatment, writing, “I lost my mother, and now I watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces.”
However, those who have worked closely with the couple have described Meghan as a strong and nurturing presence in Harry’s life. One insider shared, “Meghan’s role has been less about being a victim and more about being Harry’s caregiver and support system. She brings a sense of stability and calm to his life.”
Public Perception and Challenges
Despite the ongoing criticism, Harry and Meghan remain polarizing figures. While some admire their efforts to carve out a life independent of the British royal family, others accuse them of seeking fame while rejecting the responsibilities that come with it.
For now, Meghan’s friends and representatives have unequivocally dismissed the rumors about a divorce-themed book deal. These claims, like many before them, appear to be part of the relentless media scrutiny the couple continues to face.
