A behind-the-scenes look into the life of Meghan Markle and her romance with Prince Harry-a dishy, delightful must-read filled with exclusive insights and photos for anyone obsessed with the Royal Family. 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. 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, people are clamoring to know more about the beautiful American who captured Prince Harry's heart. Born and raised in Los Angeles to a white father of German, 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 Suits, she is devoted to her humanitarian work-a 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 "The Firm." Even a generation ago, it would have been unthinkable, as well as impermissible, for any member of Great Britain's 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 Meghan's romance by leading readers through centuries of Britain's 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.… (més)

This was an enjoyable and easy read on a subject I find fascinating - that is, the British royal family. It felt more like an extended magazine article than a solid book, though this may have been because there was not a ton of information and many of the stories have already been told and repeated in other forums. It was a quick read and something light and fun that I read on vacation. (

I have jokingly referred to the British Royal family as my hobby for the past 40 years. Therefore I Have a high tolerance for frothy depictions of almost all of the. This book, however, crossed over the line. Rarely have I encountered such bad writing and such a fawning perspective on its subject. A weekend I shall never get back (

This isn't normally my type of book, but since the royals are fascinating across the centuries, it was really good to get an "inside" look at the new American princess and all of the ways she and Harry are upending old-school traditions to live their own lives. (

Every American seems to be fascinated with Meghan and Harry's romance. While this book appears to be well researched, there was much more background of the Royal family than the relationship itself. And it was obviously written before the wedding so it stops short of the rest of the story. Still it was an enjoyable read and I was able to get a glimpse into their happy lives. My thanks to Library Thing for providing a review copy of this book. (

A very readable book about Meghan Markle and Prince Henry's background, education, and growing up. Meghan who wouldn't check the racial designation box as she felt she would have to deny one parent or the other and in becoming an actress had a hard time getting cast because she wasn't black, white, or hispanic enough or too white, black or hispanic for whatever role was available. In the meantime Prince Henry was born into a family that was coming apart a little over three years after his parents' wedding. He would have grown up somewhat aware of his parents' fights over marital infidelities but with his older brother shielding him as best he could. Of course, nothing could protect them from news of the crash that killed their mother though the senior members of the family members decided to carry on as though nothing major had happened. Harry and William were encouraged to cry in private but display no public emotion which led to Harry acting out destructively as he grew older and it wasn't until he was twenty-eight, with his brother and sister-in-law's encouragement that he sought counseling to help him process his grief. Meghan and Harry were set up on a blind date and felt she was "The One" from that first meeting and their chat led to their second date. Of course, not everyone was as thrilled as Prince Harry. The fact that she is American, biracial, a divorcee, and an actress brought out some the nastier and false articles in the British tabloids. There are some members of the Queen's family who feel Prince Harry should have married into the English upper class but I'll let you read about them. (

With fame comes opportunity, but it also includes
responsibility—to advocate and share, to focus less on glass
slippers and more on pushing through glass ceilings. And, if
I'm lucky enough, to inspire.
—Meghan Markle

The world is changing as everybody knows, and we've
changed with it. I think everybody can see that.
—Prince Harry of Wales

Foreword
This Scept'red Aisle

Once upon a time—right up to the dawn of the twentieth century, in fact—royal marriages were arranged relationships, peace treaties that secured borders and cemented political alliances. Those who wanted to marry for love were considered to have abrogated their duties.

Childe Harry

Oh, God, it's a boy. And he's even got red hair."
