Meghan Markle plans to expand on royal struggles in explosive tell-all memoir: report

Meghan Markle is set to expand on the mental health struggles she endured during her time in the palace in an upcoming tell-all memoir, according to a report.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, previously revealed she had battled suicidal thoughts during life as a royal in the UK, and briefly touched on her experience again in a CBS interview earlier this month.

According to sources, the “Suits” alum is planning to say more once the time is right.

“The talk among their friends is that it’s time to take the gloves off and do away with the diplomacy,” a source told Closer.

“There’s so much demand for Meghan to speak out, whether that’s in the form of another sit-down interview or even her own memoir. She has the potential to make an absolute fortune and clear up a lot of questions.”

The insider said the royal family’s decision to snub the Sussexes from this year’s summer retreat at Balmoral serves as a catalyst for Markle’s burning desire to release a written project.

While the source claims the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are “not shocked” to have been excluded from the meet-up, it was certainly not welcome news.

“They’re now being forced to figure out a strategy to fight back, and one option on the table is to go all-out with a big tell-all from Meghan where she completely lays out her side of the story,” the insider added.

However, despite the reports, a source familiar with the couple’s deals has denied the claims.

Rumors of Markle’s tell-all book have been swirling ever since Harry’s bombshell memoir “Spare” hit the shelves in January 2023.

The explosive book, which left no stone unturned about the duke’s time at the Firm, became the fastest-selling nonfiction book of all time.

The Sussexes signed a lucrative four-book deal with Penguin Random House in 2021.

Markle became a published author after releasing her children’s book, “The Bench,” in 2021.

Since then, she’s gone on to launch a now-defunct podcast, “Archetypes,” as well as a lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, which has yet to be launched.
