A balanced account of game changes, conflicts and ambitions. The fall from popular grace of the previously adulated brother of the heir to the British throne as a consequence of his marriage to a beautiful and dynamic Hollywood starlet of colour makes for fascinating reading in best-selling royal author Lady Colin Campbell's balanced account. Lady Colin knows her royal history and psychology, and as the first seven years of her adult life were spent in the USA she has a foot in both the American and British camps. With unique breadth of insight she 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 the Abdication. She highlights the dilemmas involved and the issues that lurk beneath the surface, as to why the couple decided to step down as senior royals. She analyses the implications of the actions of a young and ambitious couple, in love with each other and with the empowering lure of fame and fortune. She leads the reader through the maze of contradictions, revealing how Californian culture has influenced the couple's conduct. She exposes how they 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 altogether.

What a brilliant, articulate and well put together book. I really felt by the end I could trust the words of this intelligent, well positioned lady. It did not come over as unkind or vengeful, but rather informative and informed. As well as enjoying her account of the ‘situation’ this couple find themselves in, I feel I have a better knowledge of all things Royal now - the whys and wherefores!
The narrator was spot on in her delivery also, although her pronunciation of the name Archie was interesting.

Glad I heard this account first

I really enjoyed this well researched and entertaining account by Lady C, which I thought was written objectively and is not entirely negative about MM as some reviewers seem to suggest. Meghan was welcomed by the Royal Family and the nation, especially as she was of mixed race, and received very positive press initially. However, regrettably, she later invited criticism due to her ill-judged actions and unwillingness to embrace what she had signed up for by marrying Harry. I write this on the eve of the "bombshell" interview with Oprah Winfrey which may well prove some of the insights in this book to be correct. I agree with the reviewer who thinks it is sad that such a brilliant opportunity was wasted and hope that Harry will not be estranged from his family and country forever following the Oprah interview. It will be interesting to see what comes of the bullying inquiry.

Fascinating and informative

Both beautifully written and read.
I think the book echoes what the majority of the British public feel, at least to some extent about the sad departure of Prince Harry and Meghan. I truly hope they find happiness , I fear they won’t. I think Queen Elizabeth deserved better.

Fascinating.

The lies come fast and furious from the Sussex camp with no heart or feeling for our beloved Queen and the Royal Family.....and yes, they are a family of real people. Markle apparently cried when it was exposed how she bullied her staff when an email was discovered from 3 years ago....it wasn't just a new complaint, it was old and had been covered up by the Royal Household to protect Markle's reputation. I wonder if the Queen or Prince Charles have cried over the Sussex attack? Of course ME ME MEGAN would not care about that though would she? Americans who are perhaps not familiar with the actual truth, or did not live through this journey like those in the UK, tend to fall for Ms. Markle's constant onslaught of lies. In the Oprah interview alone, there were 17 provable lies. This couple, contrary to the excuse they used to flee to America, are in constant need of attention and have proven this again and again. I just wish they would live quietly in Montecito and stop this bitter need for revenge. Thank you Lady C for laying this out, for those who perhaps don't understand the real truth her. The Sussex's owe Great Britain and the Royal Family a big apology, but we probably shouldn't hold our breath.
