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.

Story
For seventy years, Queen Elizabeth ruled over an institution and a family. She was constant in her desire to provide a steady presence and to be a trustworthy steward of the British people and the Commonwealth. In the face of her uncle’s abdication, in the uncertainty of the Blitz, and in the tentative exposure of her family and private life to the public via the press, Elizabeth became synonymous with the crown. In The New Royals, journalist Katie Nicholl provides a nuanced look at Elizabeth’s remarkable and unrivalled reign.

Story
In The Diana Chronicles, you will meet a formidable female cast and understand as never before the society that shaped them: among them, Diana's sexually charged mother, her bad-girl sister-in-law, Fergie, and, most formidable of them all, her mother-in-law, the Queen. Add Camilla Parker-Bowles, the ultimate "other woman" into this combustible mix, and it's no wonder that Diana broke out of her royal cage into celebrity culture, where she found her own power and used it to devastating effect.

This is the story of how King Charles was shaped and moulded by his heritage. His mother was the woman he always loved but could never be close to.

This book documents his life through many personal anecdotes from his family and his friends from the moment the guns saluted his birth until St. Edwards Crown was placed on his head and he was officially declared as the King at his Coronation.

Outstanding tribute to HMTQ

Publisher's Summary
Meghan Misunderstood is a pioneering book that sets the record straight on the most talked about, unfairly vilified and misrepresented woman in the world.
Meghan was 11 when she first advocated for women’s rights; a teenager when she worked in a soup kitchen feeding the homeless; a popular actress when she campaigned for clean water in Africa and passionately championed gender equality in a speech to a United Nations Women’s Conference. Even before she met Prince Harry, hers was an extraordinarily accomplished life. Meghan’s wedding to Harry was a joyful occasion, marking happiness at last for the Queen’s grandson who had captured our hearts 20 years earlier when he bravely walked behind his mother Diana’s coffin. Theirs was a story that the screenwriters of Hollywood – where Meghan had made her name – could scarcely have imagined.
The rom-com fantasy, however, soon turned into disturbing drama: any expectation of a life happily-ever-after was cruelly dashed by bullying tabloid newspapers and their allies, both on social media and within the walls of the Palace itself. Meghan was targeted for her gender, her race, her nationality and her profession. The abuse became so bad that 72 female MPs signed a letter of solidarity against the ‘often distasteful and misleading press’, calling out the ‘outdated colonial undertones’ of the stories. Now, Sean Smith, the UK’s leading celebrity biographer, pulls no punches as he reveals the remarkable and powerful story of this self-made, intelligent American woman with a strong social conscience who has made such an impact on our lives.

An engaging read
I'm assuming if you are looking at this book you know who she is, but don't know much about her backstory. This is a well written, well researched and unbiased look at her pre-British Royalty life. She has achieved a lot in her life prior to being on the British tabloid hit-list, and this helps to understand who she is. Whether you ultimately like who she is or not. Others may disagree, but I think before judging a person you should learn more about them. That's my view, and I read a lot of auto/biographies for that reason.

All stores have two sides.
Found this interesting.. I have always admire someone who fights for their happiness.
It's a simple case of the press making shit up.
Thank you for sharing a different narrative. They are a powerful couple who proves love can conquer all.

Refreshing truth telling
So good to listen to a narrative that shows the shabby and disgusting way that M & H have been treated by the British tabloid press and so many on social media. So sad that the Royals put the institution (the firm) before the well being of their own family and could not embrace such an intelligent, loving diverse and passionate woman such as Meghan. I hope Meghan and Harry continue to thrive, that more people see through the lies and false narratives and that history eventually records this period as one of great shame and missed opportunity showing up so many of the British press to be the nasty racist insecure snobs they so obviously are. Shame on those who feed on the narrative they continue to spin to make a quick buck to protect the out of date, stodgy and boring privileged royal institutions and their hangers.
