According to royal commentator and political analyst Nile Gardiner, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear to be making the most of trashing the British Royal Family. The remark came after the explosive success of Prince Harry's memoir Spare, for which he went on a media prom tour that included a lot of mudslinging at the royal family.
After it was revealed that Prince Harry and his wife Meghan had signed a four-book deal with Penguin Random House following the success of Spare, Gardiner, a former Margaret Thatcher aide, tweeted, "Trashing the Royal Family is big business for Harry and Meghan."

It is worth noting that, according to reports, Prince Harry and Meghan have been offered a $20 million advance for the four-book deal. "I believe Harry does have a four-book deal, but it is shrouded in secrecy," said Tom Tivnan, Managing Editor of the magazine The Bookseller, earlier to Mirror UK. That's what the rumors say."
"I'm not sure if he'll do something like this again - a memoir so personal - but it'll probably be something very worthy and princely, let's say. "The sales will give the publisher something to think about, and maybe they'll pursue a second book more aggressively," Tivnan added. This comes after Prince Harry claimed in one of his many promotional interviews for his explosive book, Spare, that he had enough content for two books but had to cut much of it out.
