In short, this book shows more of the authors' bias* than what likely happened.

* and whoo-boy is that British upper-class condescension. It's downright spiteful in places. Frankly, after reading this I'd say that "grey men" of nobility in terms of the royal circles, is more than possible, it's fact -- and this one (the author) is part of the problem.

Give this a pass. You'll find more factually written items in the Daily Fail. ( )

Tremendously interesting read.
While I did feel the final chapters could have been condensed- they felt like the author was repeating herself- it felt pretty balanced. And while Lady Colin is no fan of the couple, she (in print at least) tries to give them the benefit of the doubt, where possible.
Certainly the misgivings that many of us have...only gradually...come to have over Meghan, seem to be justified by the evidence she presents. I hadnt realised what a decent, committed father Thomas Markle was - Meghan's assertions that she put herself through colege belied by the fact that Daddy spent a small fortune sending her to upmarket schools and then uni.
Lady Colin contrasts the much more unquestioning, adulatory USA with the UK, where we ask questions and criticize...It seems the Sussexes feel more "in control" over the pond, as their PR representatives micro-manage their image. Meghan, as we suspected, is the bright go-getter, with a tame, less intellectually able husband following her lead. Was I the only one to laugh out loud at Lady Colin's comment that "Primatologist and anthropologist, Dr Jane Goodall, a friend of the couple, was the first to break ranks and confirm that Harry was finding it "challenging" to adjust to his new life." ? (And was it intentional?)
The author maintains an impartial stance on the allegations that Archie was a surrogate. She mentions- but doesnt comment on- the photos of a "bump" that seem to show it moving...or there one day and gone the next. Who knows? She does wonder why, with such rumours, they would add to them with their secretive behaviour over the birth...
The conclusion- from Lady Colin's perspective- is that Mghan craves celebrity, adulation and money (hadnt realised they were hand-in-glove with the Gates corporation.) With a veneer of "humanitarian" works, they hope to become billionaires. The author wonders whether she'll cast Harry off once she's used him to propel her from a minor celeb to the world stage.
TREMENDOUSLY interesting. ( )

The author passes off previously debunked myths as truths.
For example the perfume in the wedding chapel that Meghan requested was also requested by Kate and Eugenie.
In fact spraying down the musty church before a major event is somewhat standard and wasn't invented by Meghan.
The Dawn commercial shit is weirdly handled. Meghan was interviewed at the time of the letter writing by a local news station, the footage is on YouTube. She says they never responded but the commercial was changed. It's clearly not a story she made up or exaggerated, as footage of the interview still exists.
The author pretends that the royal family wanted Meghan precisely because she was 'mixed race', which is doubtful and was proved untrue by her racist treatment.
The author insists that racism doesn't exist in Britain, lol. The country of Brexit doesn't have racism?
The idea that a biracial or POC child in the USA never suffered racism is wildly preposterous. The author says Meghan can't 'prove' her racist experiences, so they didn't happen. This is a really common white supremacist narrative. It's not just the racist act that must be proven, it must also be proven that racist act was malicious. This is bolstered by the racist idea that Black people are not able to accurately and reliably judge their own treatment in society; therefore, acts, experiences, etc can only be deemed 'racist' if in fact white folks deem it so. This idea by itself is both dated and horribly racist.
This book is just chock full of the authors own internal racism and feelings of white supremacy. It's boring and ridiculous as well as tiresome and of course racist.
The treatment of Meghan's clearly media hungry, aggressive and messy white relatives as if they are 100% honest is mind boggling. Thomas Markle has been caught in blatant lies. I don't doubt he loves his daughter but he's behaving horribly as are her other white relatives.
Also the author keeps eluding to the fact that Meghan's Black family is as put out and upset about her marriage as her white family only the press never interviewed them because they didn't want to be accused of racism.
Clearly the author is unaware that Black publications exist worldwide but quite strongly in the USA. I also assume Britain has Black press. Had there been something to report they'd have surely done so. As plenty of Black publications exist and report on Black as well as other folks and generally aren't accused of racism ( )
