Summary
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 listening 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 listener 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.

Don't judge the book by its first chapter!
At first I did not like the first chapter, I was all for Harry and Megan. However Listening to the end really show's the story and the truth of it. now I'm a little put off them and feel sorry for the Royal who have worked hard for the crown not like megan who did not like the hard work so left. All fame no duty.

Gives a good insight into Meghan and Harry
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I did expect a boring tittle tattle on their relationship, but thought I'd give it a go. The author does try to give a sympathetic view of the young Meaghan, but rightly exposes the hypocritical nonsense and self pity the couple espouses. Since the book was published, the Oprah interview has aired and that gives authenticity to the views in the book. By accusing his family of racism, Harry has hurt them very much. The couple lack respect towards the Royal family and, most importantly, towards the British public. It is hard to see a happy outcome for Harry in all this. Sad.

BRILLIANT BOOK
A thoughtful and candid view of Harry & Meghan, Charmingly written without the gossipy, gushing text which appears in a lot of biographies written by other authors.
Lady C brings balance to the story from both perspectives and her prose is wonderful,
Delighted.

An attempt at fairness
On the whole this is an attempt to fairly assess the Harry and Meghan story, and I believe it correctly reports behind the scene opinions from numerous sources which paints a less than flattering picture of the pair. Where it falls down is a lot of repetition and some chapters where interpretation is skewed by some frankly out dated attitudes, for instance on the subject of Meghan continually caressing her baby bump Lady C put down the negative reaction to a national sense of modesty about pregnant women, where actually I think most people just thought it was attention seeking and smug. But otherwise quite an interesting book which made some pertinent observations.

Ok
If you're a fan of this pair you will hate this book. I'm not a fan and found it an easy, gossipy listen. Bits of it grated on my nerves , mainly the stuff about Meghans clothing which I thought was irrelevant and unnecessary and incredibly snooty. Neither of them comes out of it well but I think it mainly confirmed what I suspected they were like. A pushy American and a needy sap.

Such an incredible insight
Since the story of Meghan and Harry is still unfolding (July 2023) I thought this book might be so far out of date as to be a waste of time, but I think it actually makes it more fascinating to see how right LadyC has been all along. Loved it!
