Meghan Markle is reportedly outraged after a Vanity Fair article made explosive allegations about her, including claims that her team was shopping around a “post-divorce book” deal. According to a new report from Heat Magazine, Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, feel deeply betrayed by the claims, which they strongly deny.
An insider close to the couple revealed that Meghan was particularly alarmed by the allegations about a tell-all book, calling the rumors baseless. “Meghan insists the rumor about her shopping a tell-all book is being taken totally out of context,” the insider said. “No offer was ever made, and no manuscript was produced. After all, there was no divorce.”

The Vanity Fair article reportedly struck a nerve within Meghan’s inner circle. “Of all the claims and rumors in the Vanity Fair article, this is the one that’s caused the most alarm within her circle,” the source added. “This article was horrific in so many ways, and of course, Meghan feels completely degraded and betrayed.”
The allegations have also left Prince Harry “shell-shocked,” according to the report. The insider described the article as a “full-blown assault” on their characters. “It’s like someone’s taken a sledgehammer to almost every aspect of their lives,” they explained.
The couple is particularly concerned about the weight Vanity Fair carries in high-society circles in both the U.S. and the U.K., which makes the accusations all the more damaging. “It can’t be ignored,” the insider said. “The scale of the allegations is incredibly wide-ranging and damaging.”
This is not the first time Meghan and Harry have found themselves at the center of controversy. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, they have faced intense scrutiny over their personal and professional lives. However, the couple has consistently denied rumors about their marriage being on the rocks or plans for a potential tell-all book.

The Vanity Fair allegations come at a time when the couple has been working to build their new life in California, focusing on media projects, philanthropy, and raising their two children. The insider’s comments suggest Meghan and Harry may be considering how to respond to the article, which they view as an attack on their integrity.
While Meghan and Harry have not yet issued a public statement addressing the Vanity Fair article, the fallout highlights the challenges they continue to face in managing their public image amid ongoing media scrutiny. Fans and critics alike will undoubtedly be watching closely for their next move.
