Recently, the news of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry has become the focus of global attention. However, some news from within the royal family is disturbing. According to royal expert and author Neil Sean, filmmaker Trevor Engelson, Meghan's ex-husband, has been contacted by multiple publishers who have offered him good money to write a memoir about his failed marriage to the Duchess of Sussex. Trevor and Megan were married between 2011 and 2014 before divorcing over "irreconcilable differences." Now, as Meghan becomes Prince Harry's wife and rises to fame, there is a keen interest in her life before joining the royal family.
This news is undoubtedly a huge blow for Meghan and Harry. Although Meghan has become a member of the royal family, her past has always been a concern. Now, the potential threat of Trevor's memoir is bound to cast a shadow over this otherwise exciting event.
First of all, from a personal point of view, I think Trevor's act of writing his memoir is very unethical. His marriage to Megan is over, and they've been divorced for years. In this case, he chose to sell his ex-wife's privacy for money, which is an act of betrayal. And, if he reveals some sensitive information in his memoirs, it will cause Meghan and Harry a lot of harm.
Second, I think publishers also have a responsibility. In order to pursue a bestseller, they did not hesitate to spend money to buy the rights to Trevor's memoirs. This behavior is an infringement of personal privacy and a challenge to the bottom line of ethics in the publishing industry.
To avoid this, I think we should take some measures. First of all, personal privacy is a fundamental right of everyone. We should not violate the privacy rights of others for our own benefit. Second, the publishing industry should strengthen self-discipline and raise awareness of the bottom line of morality.
