The New York Times bestselling biography of Meghan Markle, the
American actress who won Prince Harry's heart.
Women who smash the royal mold have always fascinated the public, from
Grace Kelly to Princess Diana. Now acclaimed royal biographer Andrew
Morton, the New York Times bestselling author of Diana: Her True
Story, brings us a revealing, juicy, and inspiring look at Meghan
Markle, the confident and charismatic duchess whose warm and
affectionate engagement interview won the hearts of the world.
When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were set up by a mutual friend on a
blind date in July 2016, little did they know that the resulting
whirlwind romance would lead to their engagement in November 2017 and
marriage in May 2018.
Morton goes back to Meghan's roots to uncover the story of her childhood
growing up in The Valley in Los Angeles, her studies at an all-girls
Catholic school, and her fraught family life-a painful experience
mirrored by Harry's own background. Morton also delves into her previous
marriage and divorce in 2013, her struggles in Hollywood as her mixed
heritage was used against her, her big break in the hit TV show Suits,
and her work for a humanitarian ambassador-the latter so reminiscent of
Princess Diana's passions. Finally, we see how the royal romance played
out across two continents but was kept fiercely secret, before the news
finally broke and Meghan was thrust into the global media's spotlight.
Drawing on exclusive interviews with her family members and closest
friends, and including never-before-seen photographs, Morton introduces
us to the real Meghan as he reflects on the impact that she has already
had on the rigid traditions of the House of Windsor, as well as what the
future might hold.
