    About this ebook

    **A Wall Street Journal bestseller**

    This blockbuster narrative provides the first behind-the-scenes, authoritative account of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s marriage, by the New York Times bestselling author of Diana in Private.

    The fall from popular grace of Prince Harry, the previously adulated brother of the heir to the British throne, as a consequence of his marriage to the beautiful and dynamic Hollywood actress and "Suits star" Meghan Markle, makes for fascinating reading in this groundbreaking book from Lady Colin Campbell, who is the New York Times bestselling biographer of books on Princess Diana, the Queen Mother, and Queen Elizabeth’s marriage.

    With a unique breadth of insight, Lady Colin Campbell goes behind the scenes, speaking to friends, relations, courtiers, and colleagues on both sides of the Atlantic to reveal the most unexpected royal story since King Edward VIII's abdication. She highlights the dilemmas involved and the issues that lurk beneath the surface, revealing why the couple decided to step down as senior royals. She analyses the implications of the actions of a young and ambitious Duke and Duchess of Sussex, in love with each other and with the empowering lure of fame and fortune, and leads the reader through the maze of contradictions Meghan and Harry have created—while also evoking the Californian culture that has influenced the couple's conduct.

    Meghan and Harry: The Real Story exposes how the royal couple tried and failed to change the royal system—by adapting it to their own needs and ambitions—and, upon failing, how they decided to create a new system—and life—for themselves.

      Garbage not worth the amount of time I read and not based on discussions directly with subjects.
    • 1/5
      Obviously biased and racist. Most interesting part was a quote from Queen Elizabeth II saying that Jeremy Corbin couldn’t dissolve the royal family because now they have a Black member. Revels nothing about Meghan or Harry and only shines a light on the type of racism and sexism Meghan Markel had to deal with. If you want to know what perspective this book comes from, simply Google the author.

      She's never met Prince Harry or Meghan. She used to write trashy books full of lies about how Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles were simply good friends and any suggestion that they were having an affair was the mentally ill imagination of Princess Diana. The only one with the crazy imagination is colin campbell

      This promises more than it delivers. While I admire the author, I was frustrated with her view of America; she confuses America with wealthy leftists living on either coast. The narrative is often rambling and not in consecutive order which makes it hard to follow. The author also assumes that the reader has knowledge of incidents and people that are integral to the story line, leaving the reader confused and unenlightened.
    • 4/5
      Interesting book- living in the States we definitely get a different perspective on the news regarding the royals. I felt that the last few chapters were very repetitive, tending towards amateur psychology on the behalf of the author towards Harry and Meghan. Probably could have been shorter.

      Tremendously interesting read. While I did feel the final chapters could have been condensed- they felt like the author was repeating herself- it felt pretty balanced. And while Lady Colin is no fan of the couple, she (in print at least) tries to give them the benefit of the doubt, where possible.Certainly the misgivings that many of us have...only gradually...come to have over Meghan, seem to be justified by the evidence she presents. I hadnt realised what a decent, committed father Thomas Markle was - Meghan's assertions that she put herself through colege belied by the fact that Daddy spent a small fortune sending her to upmarket schools and then uni.Lady Colin contrasts the much more unquestioning, adulatory USA with the UK, where we ask questions and criticize...It seems the Sussexes feel more "in control" over the pond, as their PR representatives micro-manage their image. Meghan, as we suspected, is the bright go-getter, with a tame, less intellectually able husband following her lead. Was I the only one to laugh out loud at Lady Colin's comment that "Primatologist and anthropologist, Dr Jane Goodall, a friend of the couple, was the first to break ranks and confirm that Harry was finding it "challenging" to adjust to his new life." ? (And was it intentional?)The author maintains an impartial stance on the allegations that Archie was a surrogate. She mentions- but doesnt comment on- the photos of a "bump" that seem to show it moving...or there one day and gone the next. Who knows? She does wonder why, with such rumours, they would add to them with their secretive behaviour over the birth...The conclusion- from Lady Colin's perspective- is that Mghan craves celebrity, adulation and money (hadnt realised they were hand-in-glove with the Gates corporation.) With a veneer of "humanitarian" works, they hope to become billionaires. The author wonders whether she'll cast Harry off once she's used him to propel her from a minor celeb to the world stage.TREMENDOUSLY interesting.

      I really hated this book. It read like a 572 page tabloid ... and a very boring one at that. The theme throughout was solely focused on a personal takedown of Meghan Markle, who the author paints as an evil American succubus who swept in to seduce a weak, emotional Harry. I seriously regret spending two days of my life--time I will NEVER get back--reading this trash. My advice is to skip this one.
