Meghan Markle could soon release her own memoir following Prince Harry's 'Spare'

Meghan Markle could soon give fans further insight on her life as a royal with husband Prince Harry with her very own autobiography, according to the Express. It comes after Harry released his memoir, Spare, earlier this year - which was packed full of bombshell allegations about his life growing up in the royal family.

As Harry will be travelling to the UK alone next month to attend his father King Charles III's coronation on May 6, while Meghan stays at their LA home with the kids, some royal experts expect her to write her own book in a bid to still stay relevant. Commentator Bronte Coy has argued that the Duchess of Sussex may put pen to paper once the enthusiasm for the Coronation has passed.

Speaking to Sky News Australia, Coy claims Meghan 'will need to recount her experiences in a book in a bid to stay relevant'. She added: "They've absolutely been in the media and in the spotlight but after the Coronation, where does that go?

"What's next for them? I will say I'm hesitant to say they've surely fired all their shots at the royals because whenever I said that in the past they seemed to have more. But I do believe the memoir was Harry's final shot, it seems.

"But then, of course, will Meghan be left with the only option to release a memoir of their own? I don't really know what comes next for them and it does seem like there's not really a clear strategy in place. Nor has there been for some time."

Harry and Meghan's PR strategy has been questioned lately following the repeated attacks they've launched on the royal family - and how this could impact public perception.

Speaking to the Express, reputation management expert and Go Up founder Edward Coram James said: "In crisis comms, when someone comes to us and says, 'I'm in a spot of bother, this has happened, this has happened, people on social media are saying really nasty things about me. Help.'

"One of the most basic tenets of reputation management is to show humility in the face of adversity – you show humility and you show introspection. If, on the other hand, you take the approach of, 'I'm not responsible for any of this, this is all one giant smear campaign against me, none of this is my fault, everyone else is lying, I'm completely innocent.

"It's us two who are right and the score of other people who are totally wrong,' you rarely build sympathy that way. And without sympathy, you don't get an audience on board with your attempts at crisis management and it actually ends up making the other side much more believable than you."

Coram James added: "I would argue that their lack of introspection will come back to hurt them from a reputational point of view. From a PR point of view, that is so basic that the lack of it feels deliberate."
