The emails, the calls, the quiet lunches in discreetLos Angeleshotels — by now,Meghan Markleknows exactly what a publishing courtship feels like. The Duchess of Sussex is being wooed with the kind of money that makes evenHollywoodveterans blink.

'She believes a memoir would finally allow her to speak without filters and clarify the narrative in her own words.'
The publishing world has heard that hunger and responded with chequebooks. Executives know exactly what they are buying: the woman who helped crack open the carefully varnished image of the House of Windsor and took the fallout head-on.
