Meghan Markle’s debut memoir is reportedly on the way.
And those with inside knowledge of the project say the duchess is not planning to go easy on her in-laws.
In fact, a source close to the situation tells Closer that Meghan is planning to expose the royals like never before.

Meghan Markle to Lash Out at Royals In Tell-All Memoir, Source Claims
Perhaps inspired by the success of Prince Harry’s memoir, Meghan reportedly plans to tell her side of the with little concern for the egos she might damage.
“The talk among their friends is that it’s time to take the gloves off and do away with the diplomacy,” said the insider.
“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.”

What Prompted Meghan to Take This Step?
The source went on to claim that Meghan was furious upon learning of a royal snub:
The royals had not invited Harry and Meghan to their annual summer getaway at Balmoral.
While Harry and Meghan were “not shocked” at being excluded, they were nonetheless hurt.
And the incident might have been the final straw that inspired Meghan to launch her literary career.

The snub amounted to a public humiliation for Harry and Meghan. And it reportedly left the Sussexes with the feeling that they need to respond.
“They’re now being forced to figure out a strategy to fight back. And one option on the table is to go all-out. A big tell-all from Meghan where she completely lays out her side of the story,” says the insider.

If the rumors are true, then the book would come during what is already a very busy time for Meghan.
Earlier this year, Meghan launched a new company, a lifestyle brand called American Riviera Orchard.
The rollout is happening slowly, but insiders say it’s all going according to plan.

It also comes at a time when the Duchess of Sussex is being more candid than ever.
In a recent interview with Jane Pauley, Meghan revealed that she’s battled suicidal thoughts.
Fans speculated that Meghan was on the verge of expanding on the pain she’s endured in recent years.
And it looks as though that prediction might soon come true.
