Yeah no. Please save yourself from eternal boredom and DO NOT read this book. I hado stop. I couldn't finish. It just wasn't happening. It like only talked about her ancestors story's, and I wonder if the author knows these things for sure, or if that's just what he guessed happened? Well I mean, if u need to know more about Megan, go ahead...... If you want to live.... DONT

Grand Central
Inspiring, Meghan Markle has a charm and charisma all her own. This biography starts with her childhood, growing up as a bi-racial women in Los Angeles. and her years at an all-girl Catholic school. Included is her previous marriage and divorce in 2013, her role on 'Suits', and her humanitarian work.
Interviews with family members and close friends, helped write this fascinating book, that peeks into the life of the woman who has won the heart of Harry, and instantly becoming royalty. This was a fun read, with great photos.

Chybí tomu jakákoliv nestrannost. Je to vlastně jen oslava Meghan, kde si Morton neustále protiřečí - nejvíc je to patrné v částech, kdy zmiňuje, jak Meghan byla vlastně úspěšná, aby o pár vět později poukázal na to, že až princ Harry ji proslavil...

Meghan Markle intrigues me. I’ve always loved her on Suits, so I’m a genuine fan, but I picked this biography up because while I’m beyond excited for the royal wedding, I’m still curious to why there even is a royal wedding. The easy answer is that it’s true love and why can’t I just be happy for them, but especially after reading Harry’s biography, I think there has to be more than just love there to really make such a high profile marriage work. This biography definitely clarified some things, and of course made me 10x more excited for the royal wedding!!

Oli semmonen ylistyslaulu tää kirja, että kävi vähän tylsäksi. Plussaa siitä, että kerronta oli tosi sujuvaa ja helppoa lukea.

I thought this was a good audiobook into Meghan's life before and after she became a princess in England.

This is another biography of a member of the Royal Family by Andrew Morton, best known for his collaboration with Diana, Princess of Wales, on the 1992 biography, Diana: Her True Story. In this memoir, we learn more about Meghan Markle who married Prince Harry in May, 2018.
While I enjoyed the book (it was certainly a fast read), I can’t say that there were any great revelations that I didn’t already know as I follow the Royal Family by reading biographies, following their Instagram account and news articles. I have just recently started watching the tv show Suits for which she is most known for and I was pleasantly surprised at how good she was in that show. I also give her credit for all the charity work that she did prior to meeting Harry. It certainly seems like this is a love match and as Harry will not be King (it would take a disaster to happen), hopefully they will be able to live a more private life than William and Kate.
Enjoyable read – 3 stars.

I have enjoyed some other books by this author. This one feels rushed and incomplete to me. It does show that Meghan Markle is more talented, charismatic and resourceful than she seems in mainstream media. She is also one who has always given back in many ways. That she is somewhat (or very) self absorbed seems unfortunately inevitable due to the life she leads. Not that everyone in the public eye is egocentric, but from where I am as an ordinary person who reads a lot of biographies and memoirs, it is rare to be down to earth and truly relatable.
