What a difference a week makes. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were all smiles at the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf not so very long ago – the perfect loved-up power couple making touching speeches, mingling with competitors and packing on the PDAs. But a potential new project that Meghan’s working on threatens to overturn their rekindled popularity.

Rumours are growing that the 42-year-old is secretly writing her own explosive memoir, in the same vein as Harry’s Spare. And the controversial book could well be a “career breaker” for the former actress, according to a bigwig in the entertainment industry. So much so that she needs to think very carefully about her next move.

Entertainment commentator Mark Boardman told new, “Meghan’s facing a dilemma over her future. This is going to be the most challenging 12 months for her as she works out where she sits in the entertainment world. There are big challenges ahead and everyone’s looking to see what she does next.”

Mark claims a tell-all book from Meghan would undoubtedly be a “massive seller worldwide”. But he believes she could also receive the same backlash Harry, 39, did following the publication of his autobiography.

“I think she’ll have learned and taken all the feedback from Spare and will definitely know the direction her memoir will go in,” Mark said. “But the publishers will want juicy gossip to make it an interesting read.
