Meghan Markle keeps a "weapon" in her "back pocket" from her time as a senior working royal in case she ever feels the need to get revenge, an expert has claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex quit her royal duties alongside Prince Harry in 2020 before deciding to eventually relocate to Montecito, California, where they live with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Ex-BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK! Magazine that Meghan has stayed clear from controversy over the past couple of years, and not revealing personal details about her time in the Firm.

However, the royal expert believes Meghan has a weapon should she wish to use it. She explains: "Obviously the journal she mentioned will remain a potential weapon in her back pocket if she ever feels the need to seek some sort of revenge. But she has behaved with discretion and dignity ever since Oprah and the documentary series."

In 2022, Meghan hinted at a journal from her royal days, fuelling rumours of another tell-all. The Duchess famously spoke to the Cut and opened up about one of her visits back to the UK that year while packing her stuff up from Frogmore Cottage.

Meghan told the Cut: "You go back and you open drawers and you're like, 'Oh my gosh'. This is what I was writing in my journal there?"

Her comments prompted many royal watchers to speculate about whether the Duchess would ever pen her own book, with Roya Nikkah, the Sunday Times Royal Editor, commenting on True Royalty TV's Royal Beat: "She's mentioned a couple of times in the last year or two that she kept a journal, and I think there is a very strong inference that Meghan could write her own memoir."
