Missed the top 50?

Damn I reckon she was expecting a lot better than that in the U.K. given the publicity/promotion and being a royal, kinda tanked here - no hate

I'm not sure exactly how it works, but the NYE Bestseller List isn't based purely on sales, but is at least a partially curated list of books.

I mean, if she had released this book before she got with Harry, it wouldn't have made the top 1000. But it's a clever move on her part, using her new found fame (off her husbands back) to make as much money as possible.

They're just the 'Beckhams' of this era. They're a franchise and whatever they do will make money. Good or bad.

She was in a top ranked American TV show. Let's not act she was a receptionist at Mr smiths bicycle shop in Dagenham.

JK Rowling was on benefits when she wrote her books, and did ok without wedding a royal.

Her current 'one of the most known, talked about, and popular people in the world' is due to who she married, lets not kid ourselves.

Having said that, if it's a good story, then good luck to her. I pointed out before this is nothing new, lots of celebrity franchises branch out with a number of marketable ventures. I see this as a brand building exercise, again, nothing new.

Exactly
Anyone would think Meghan was a homeless girl Harry saved from the streets or something , she was already successful . She just has more exposure that's all.

JK Rowling didn't need to marry a royal to sell her books, she had talent.

I'll answer - no.

However, if you spent all day, every thread saying weird stuff about what the best friend of her dog groomers uncles sisters niece supposedly said to the daily mail, then I'd say yes.
