The Duchess displayed her writing skills recently when she shared the heartbreak of her miscarriage.
Since stepping down as senior royals, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have done a lot to establish themselves as individuals without the tag of being royals. They signed a huge production deal with Netflix, signed with Harry Walker Agency to book speaking engagements, launched their nonprofit Archewell, and also announced plans for a podcast on Spotify.
Now, there's news that Meghan is soon going to try her hand at fiction writing. According to The Daily Mail, a royal source revealed that the Duchess is very excited about publishing a novel. "Fiction is something she has always wanted to try her hand at, and she could be assured that anything she writes would sell well, regardless of its quality. Fiction, be it children's books or adult, would be a powerful way of conveying the messages of their woke brand."
It's not the first time that a royal member has tried their hand at fiction writing. Back in 1980, Prince Charles published a children's book titled The Old Man of Lochnagar. The proceeds from the book were given to The Prince's Trust charity. It is believed that the story was created by Prince Charles for his younger brothers, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward. He's not the only royal to have published a book. Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, ex-wife of Prince Andrew, is also a writer and has many books like Ballerina Rosie under her name.
The outlet also disclosed that one of the clauses in an Archwell filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office "seeks the right to pen 'fiction and non-fiction books on a variety of topics' under the Archewell brand, as well as produce 'general feature magazines and printed periodicals.'"
It's no news that the Duchess of Sussex is great at expressing herself. Turns out, Meghan has a good experience with writing even before she met Prince Harry. The source told The Daily Mail, "Meghan has some experience as a writer and used to have a popular blog called The Tig before she met Harry that covered health, travel, food, and fashion."
We already know that Meghan has a way with words. She beautifully communicated the heartbreak the royal couple went through in the New York Times article titled, The Loses We Share. She revealed the miscarriage the couple had to suffer in July this year and how her normal day turned into a sudden tragedy.
"I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second. Hours later, I lay in a hospital bed, holding my husband’s hand. I felt the clamminess of his palm and kissed his knuckles, wet from both our tears. Staring at the cold white walls, my eyes glazed over. I tried to imagine how we’d heal," she penned. In just these few words, the couples' "unbearable grief" can be felt by anyone who reads it. We cannot wait for the Duchess' first book!
