A behind-the-scenes look into the life of Meghan Markle and her romance with Prince Harryβa dishy, delightful must-read filled with exclusive insight for anyone obsessed with the Royal Family
The California Girl Who Stole Prince Harryβs Heart
When Prince Harry of Wales took his American girlfriend, Meghan Markle, to have tea with his grandmother the queen, avid royal watchers had a hunch that a royal wedding was not far off. And that prediction came true on November 27, 2017, when the gorgeous, glamorous twosome announced their engagement to the world. As they prepare to tie the knot in a stunning ceremony on May 19, 2018, that will be unprecedented in royal history, everyone wants to know who exactly is the beautiful American who captured the heart of βthe sexy gingerβ who has not only been the bad boy of the current generation of Windsors, but the most eligible bachelor in the world
Born and raised in Los Angeles to a white father of Dutch, English, and Irish descent and an African American mother whose ancestors had been enslaved on a Georgia plantation, Meghan has proudly embraced her biracial heritage. In addition to being a star of the popular television series βSuitsβ, she is devoted to her humanitarian workβa passion she shares with Harry. Though Meghan was married once before, Prince Harry is a modern royal, and the Windsors have welcomed her into the tight-knit clan they call βThe Firm.β Even a generation ago, it would have been unthinkable, as well as impermissible, for any member of Great Britainβs royal family to consider marrying someone like Meghan. Professional actresses were considered scandalous and barely respectable. And the last time an American divorcee married into the Royal Family, it provoked a constitutional crisis!
In American Princess, Leslie Carroll provides context to Harry and Meghanβs romance by leading readers through centuries of Britainβs rule-breaking royal marriages, as well as the love matches that were never permitted to make it to the altar; followed by a never-before-seen glimpse into the little-known life of the woman bringing the Royal Family into the 21st century; and her dazzling, thoroughly modern romance with Prince Harry.
