What an extraordinary journey it has been for Meghan Markle. In this fully revised and updated biography, Andrew Morton navigates the at times baffling twists and turns of a royal saga that has both engaged and enraged those inside and outside the palace walls. It has taken just three short years for Meghan and Harry to be transformed from golden couple to royal outsiders living in a sprawling mansion in Montecito in California and cutting multi-million-dollar deals with media moguls.
From the frothy fun and laughter of her wedding day to darker days and the isolation, loneliness and prejudice she experienced, amplified by what the couple considered to be the sexism and racism of the mass media. Add to that the high and lows of motherhood –the joy of the births of her two beautiful children and the sadness of a miscarriage late into her second pregnancy – it has been nothing less than an emotional rollercoaster.
Morton draws on exclusive interviews with those closest to Meghan to uncover the story of her life, from her fractious childhood growing up in the Valley in LA, through her previous marriage and divorce, her struggles in Hollywood, her work as a humanitarian ambassador, her life as the Duchess of Sussex – and the seemingly bottomless rift that has developed between the Sussexes and the House of Windsor.
