Meghan and Harry: The Real Story

The Real Story

By: Lady Colin Campbell

Narrated by: Lucinda Bell Howard

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.

Enlightening

First and foremost I am not a MM fan. I find this book to be written in truth and depicts the facts better than I have read from others. It has also given me a better insight to how I thought of P Di. I was a fan of hers and this book made me look at things through British culture. I feel that MM is a egotistical person to the extreme and has enough smarts to fake the whole rest of her life. PH mistake was to fall in love with her. Thanks for more insight to there like since the got together

Love the reader!

I really really really wanted to like this book. I’m not a huge Megan or Harry fan, but this book seemed just rude. She gave Meghan the worst motives ever for any decision she ever made or thing she did. She repeatedly, and I mean, repeatedly, called Harry dumb or “lack in the intellect “and the main thesis was that Harry is too dumb to recognize that Megan is manipulating him. (Blow Job Harry). The author also CONSTANTLY picked at Meghan calling herself “classy” and having an instagram account. OH! Then a bunch of weird complaints on feminism, equal marriages, “woke”ness, etc.

There were far too many out-of-pocket slights like that to call this the “real” anything. If you want to hate on Meghan Markle & say “research says” this is the book for you!!

BUT!!!! I loved the reader’s voice so much I listened to the entire book and when I can’t sleep I put it on again. Mmmm.. I love it. 10 of 5 stars for the reader Lucinda Bell Howard.

Real insight!

Lady C provides context and reason behind the allegations levied by H&M and reveals them for the fame hungry people they are.

Quite an Insight!

It was a good read with lots of behind the scenes information by a true insider.

Well written and well narrated

This book gives a clear understanding of the problems between MM and the royal family. There's no sensationalism, just easy to understand examples of MM's unacceptable, unkind and self serving behavior. It's a good case study of a narcissist as well as a rather sad tale for those people left in MM's wake.
