The Duchess of Sussex has some ‘very serious book deals on the table’ after being approached by ‘numerous publishing houses’, sources have revealed.

Meghan Markle, 39, is currently living in her $14 million Santa Barbara mansion with Prince Harry, 36, and their eighteen-month-old son Archie, having stepped back from royal duty last year.

According to Vanity Fair’s Katie Nicholl, the Duchess is considering writing a book and has been approached with ‘lucrative offers from respectable publishing houses.’

Since stepping down as a senior member of the royal family alongside the Duke, the Duchess has secured lucrative deals including a contract with Spotify worth up to £30million and a partnership with Netflix believed to be worth £100million.

A source explained: ‘Meghan has some very serious book deals on the table. They are all up for consideration.’

It comes after Katie told 9Honey Meghan and Prince Harry are ’emulating the Obamas’ successful business model with their plans for the future.

Since leaving the White House in 2016, Barack and Michelle Obama revealed a similar business route – with the couple announcing a Netflix deal with their company Higher Ground Productions and soon after, a Spotify podcast.

‘The Obamas’ Higher Ground [production company] was always going to be the business model for the Sussexes and that’s exactly what we’re seeing,’ said Ms Nicholl.
