Vanity Fair dropped a bombshell story on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry yesterday, including allegations that the Duchess of Sussex's team had a "conversation" with a publishing house about a potential book on "post-divorce."

To quote the outlet:

"Not a general book on life after marital dissolution, or one about Meghan’s past experience. (She was married to producer Trevor Engelson from 2011 to 2014.) this book—this notion of a book, really—might center on a post-Harry divorce. Not that there was actually one in the works! Just…if this a priori divorce ever came to be, would this publisher theoretically be interested in a book that took place in its aftermath?"

To be clear, another insider told the outlet that “If that’s true to any degree, she would have been approached and not vice versa” and Vanity Fair confirmed that "no offer was ever made, and no manuscript was produced," since there was no divorce. (Oh, and other sources stressed how happy and in love Meghan and Harry are!)

So, how do the Sussexes feel about this divorce story? An old friend of Prince Harry's tells the Daily Beast “The Vanity Fair divorce story seemed very unfair. There was a book but there wasn’t a book, she was planning for life after divorce, but they are totally in love. What? There was not a shred of evidence.”

They added “Things aren’t easy for them right now. Vanity Fair have succeeded in making a bad time worse.”
