The lucrative deal, which is reported to have been worth a staggering £16.2million [$20m], is said to have fallen through the cracks, as reported recently by Page Six.
Speaking to Kevin O'Sullivan for Talk TV about a recent brutal Vanity Fair article targeting Meghan and Harry, royal expert Kinsey Schofield said: "Page Six is reporting that Harry and Meghan's 20 million [dollar] deal with Penguin Random House , that they signed in 2021, seems to have quietly dissipated and that is the story..."
"........She added that Penguin Random House are said have had "higher expectations" for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, with Kinsey adding, "[Vanity Fair reported] how these two, their work ethic is incredibly questionable, their collaboration skills are not so strong, is that potentially why Penguin Random House no longer [has a deal with them]."
All I know is that the paperback edition of Spare was a spectacular fail.
