'Harry won't let Meghan tell all'

Another bombshell book could wreck the prince's bid to heal his rift with the royal family, a source tells new

After making some explosive claims in interviews and documentaries, the Duchess of Sussex has been uncharacteristically quiet since the release of her husband's bombshell memoir Spare a year ago.

Now a source has told new that Meghan's plans for her own tell-all book have been scuppered by Prince Harry.

Meghan, 42, was reportedly keen to "set the record straight" about the trials and tribulations of recent years, but our source claims that Harry, 39, has "put an end" to her plans, fearing they could damage his chances of a reconciliation with his family.

"Harry has openly spoken about having enough material to write a follow-up to Spare, but those plans have been scrapped," the source claimed.

"He's also put an end to Meghan's book. The move didn't go down well with Meghan at first, but there now seems to be a clear vision for how the Sussexes intend to build bridges with the royal family."

The duke and duchess signed a four-book deal with Penguin Random House in the summer of 2021, reportedly worth more than £20 million.

After Spare revealed intimate details about the breakdown of the relationship between Harry and his brother Prince William, and the tension between Meghan and her sister-in-law Kate, it prompted more questions about the closely guarded inner chamber of the royal family.

But royal expert Duncan Larcombe claimed throwing another tell-all book into the mix, this time written by Meghan, would "go down very badly".
