Even so, royal insiders say there's nothing to indicate that Meghan plans to publish her personal story.
When Meghan Markle joined the royal family, she went dark on social media and shut down her lifestyle blog, The Tig—but that doesn't mean she stopped documenting her life.
New reports suggest that Meghan kept a private diary of her time as a working royal and experts say it could be worth millions if she ever decided to publish.
According to The Mirror, "any memoirs of Meghan’s years inside a monarchy rocked by a rift between William and Harry and Prince Andrew’s damning Epstein sex scandal links and damaging BBC interview could fetch up to $150 million in a bidding war."
"The fact they may exist and could contain material to embarrass the Royal Family is enough to make anyone feel uncomfortable, even though right now there is no reason to believe she has plans to publish," a royal source said. "Meghan has always been a tremendous self-publicist. Her account of some of the more difficult times would worry everyone in the royal household."
