Just when Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor couldn't have done enough, sources now claim he is considering a scathing memoir detailing his infamous fall from grace. The disgraced former royal is reportedly planning to lay bare the royal family's secrets and private conversations, casting himself as a victim of the 'woke culture.' Much like his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, he is allegedly facing serious financial issues and sees a tell-all book as both a source of income and a chance to present his side of the story.

In an OK! magazine exclusive, insiders pulled back the curtains on Mountbatten-Windsor's alleged scathing plans. One claimed that although no contracts are in place, there is considerable interest from publishers. They said, "For Andrew, a book represents both a potential financial lifeline and an opportunity to claim that he has been unjustly handled." Meanwhile, another added, "Andrew knows where the bodies are buried – and that makes the idea of a memoir extraordinarily sensitive for the royal family, because it could expose private conversations and long-held secrets." In perhaps one of the most bizarre revelations, the insider insisted that the former Prince was reportedly planning to "paint himself as a victim of the #MeToo and woke movements" in his book.

Additionally, sources pointed out Mountbatten-Windsor's alleged poor financial situation as one of the key reasons for penning a tell-all. A Palace aide stressed, "At its core, this is a financial problem for Andrew. His liabilities are mounting, legal costs have not eased, and there is little willingness within the family to step in." For now, despite any official confirmation from publishers, insiders remain confident that a memoir could rehabilitate the former Prince's tattered image. They continued, "He [Andrew] is fully convinced that public opinion would soften if his version of the story were fully aired, and he wants to cast himself as someone who was misled and ultimately betrayed."

If Mountbatten-Windsor were to write a memoir, he would be following in the footsteps of Prince Harry, who laid bare royal life in Spare. Still, he is said to be proceeding with caution, fully aware of the fallout it could trigger, particularly given King Charles's ongoing cancer battle. As one source explained, "He [Andrew] understands that publishing a memoir would almost certainly sever his remaining ties to the family. At the same time, keeping quiet provides no assurance of either renewed acceptance or financial stability."

Much like her embattled husband, Ferguson is also allegedly planning to write a damaging tell-all exposing the royal family and their role in her fall from grace. Speaking to The National Examiner, an insider revealed that her alleged sharp-tongued memoir is her last resort, as she's "worried sick about money and desperate to correct what she says are a ton of falsehoods." They stressed that she was an extremely savvy operator who was hoping to crawl her way out of her mess and repair her image.
