A royal author has spoken who believes it is “highly unlikely” that Meghan Markle will relaunch her old lifestyle blog to rival Gwyneth Paltrow’s.
Author Leslie Carroll, who chronicled the Meghan and Prince Harry’s romance in her 2018 book, American Princess: The Love Story of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, doesn’t believe there will be a royal rumble between the Duchess of Sussex and Gwyneth who is the mastermind behind Goop.
Speaking to Fox News, Leslie said: “Although she was a lifestyle blogger before she met and married Harry, she has always been about philanthropy, as well as her focus on the empowerment of women and girls.
“My intuition tells me that if Meghan were to launch a new blog, she will not choose to compete with Gwyneth at all in the Goop marketplace of pricey scented candles and questionable self-care.”

Leslie continued: “As a way of prognosticating where a possible new Duchess of Sussex blog might focus, let’s look at what she has chosen to do in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic in Los Angeles as an example of where her focus is.
“Now that she has stepped back from her royal duties, she and Harry are anonymously handing out food during a pandemic, pitching in alongside other volunteers.
“This is exactly how Meghan was raised by her mother Doria [Ragland] in Los Angeles — handing out food at soup kitchens on Skid Row when she was an adolescent.

“She has also kept up with her UK patronage of Smart Works, video-chatting with a young woman who earned an internship and plans to go into the field of mental health.”
The author also went on to say that she believes Meghan would not start her blog back up because of trolls.
She said: “It may play straight into the hands of those who have always thought that Meghan only married Harry in the first place as an act of self-aggrandizement, to elevate her own brand.
“A restart of The Tig, which was part of her pre-royal marriage image, sadly plays into the hand of Meghan-haters, who consistently wish her nothing but the worst and inevitably impugn the most pecuniary motives to the duchess.”

The comments come after royal expert Myka Meier recently told the Royally Obsessed podcast that Meghan is reportedly going to relaunch her lifestyle blog The Tig, which will compete with Paltrow’s own brand.
“I think Meghan is going to have another Instagram,” Myka said. “I think she’s going to do a Goop, like a new version of The Tig… I really think that’s coming.
“I have a friend with a little bit of insider knowledge, and I think she’s already working on something.
“I think we will be seeing something very interesting and creative with masterminds from all over the world coming together to bring something inspiring soon.”
