**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. Review: A Book Worth Reading - I'm glad I was able to find this book at last as it's hard to find one to purchase in the U.S. This book is well researched and gives a detailed account of what has gone on with Meghan and Harry since before they even met up until just recently. It is not a hagiograohy like some of the other books written about the couple are. It doesn't sugarcoat who they are or what they've done. This book goes into all of the nooks and crannies of this couple's relationship with each other as well as with the royal family, Meghan's family, the press, and the public. It also talks about the controversies surrounding this couple such as what went on regarding Meghan's pregnancy, her real agenda, and their manipulation of the press vs their so called need for privacy. This is an interesting book that's worth reading. Review: Lady C does it again! - I’ve read a couple of her books from years ago and have seen quite a few of her videos, and she definitely has all the scoop from very inside sources of the Royal circle. She watches how what and how she gives her info and would make a good lawyer, I think, because she is careful not to slander or libel her subjects and she’s never been sued, despite some pretty unflattering and surprising pronouncements. And she writes her books exactly the way she talks about these topics in interviews. No ghost writer here; she’s very sharp with the spoken and written word. If you are curious about the Royal folks, trust Lady C.. she knows the goods!

Great Book but delivery takes forever!
This book is well done with lots of detail, which is Lady C's trademark style. My only issue was with the sender - that is the worst delivery tracking system I have seen in ages. I was starting to get the impression they were printing the book after the order it took so long just to get out to the shipper. Tracking with the shipper lacked a lot of detail we are used to here in the US. It is a great book, just be prepared for a long wait to get it once ordered.

Excellent book!
Great read. Yes, it is an "update" to a prior release but, it reads like a completely new book. New perspectives on old incidents in addition to all the more recent events. Amazing how many of the predictions Lady C made in her prior book play out as expected w/in the next few years. I am so glad I purchased it. It was worth the wait. It is well-written yet easy to read. I wouldn't say a quick read because I found myself reading...shocked..and going back to re-read the passage!

Blistering
A valuable update on an ill-fated couple. It examines their character flaws, mistakes, contrivances and lies in blistering detail and with clinical accuracy. If this book has one flaw it is that having made a point it doesn't leave it at that, it dwells on it and repeats it needlessly.. Otherwise it is a fascinating read.

bias account but noi by the author
Megan Markle gives a bias account since SHE is not the center of attention in Britain. I feel sorry for Prince Harrys she sounds like she is ready to move on---Harry wants to live in England and she refuses to. Harry wants the kids to meet his father and rest of his 👪

Lady C has done it again!
Lady Colin Campbell is one of a kind. First, she’s in a unique position of meeting many people and knowing quite a bit of what’s going on. Second, she’s a gifted writer. Not only do you get the delicious scoops, but the content is presented in an evocative, eloquent manner. This update is to die for if you follow this duo, and I highly recommend getting your hands on a copy as soon as you can!!

Un régal!
Pour les amateurs de littérature anglaise, ce livre est un régal. Lady C. manie la langue avec art pour décrire avec précision et un certain humour la catastrophe et l’acte manqué (dommage !) du couple M&H. A lire pour tenter de comprendre ou juste pour le plaisir…

Interesting Book
This was a well researched and well written book. It fleshes out facts we have been given about Harry and Megan and puts them in context which makes them more understandable. I found this book extremely interesting and hard to put down. Reading this book gave me lots to think about. BRB

Lady C at her best
I am enjoying this book immensely. I watch Lady C's YouTube videos, they don't disappoint, and neither does this book.

A very well-researched book
I really enjoyed reading this very well-researched and informative book. Lady C's prose is fluent, polished, and witty. Beyond the stories of the protagonists, you get multiple insights into the worlds of the UK's aristocracy and the royal etiquette. I found the reflections on the constitutional repercussions of M&C's conduct particularly compelling and not obvious.
