Meghan and Harry

The Real Story

By: Lady Colin Campbell

Narrated by: Lucinda Bell Howard

Length: 16 hrs and 40 mins

Publisher's summary

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 listening 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 listener 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.

Lady C is a true insider and a classy lady. She KNOWS the royals better than anyone.

Thank you Lady C!!! I cannot wait for the update this month! I’ve listened to this twice trying to understand how Harry got himself into this situation and it makes complete sense! I love your writing style and the inside info. you are able to provide! Much love!

Brutal for MM and super repetitive

I’m not a Meghan fan, but this is a pretty brutal account of her. Overall, this is good, but is extremely repetitive. Multiple times, I thought I had accidentally rewound because the same thing is repeated so often. Could have ended a couple of chapters sooner, too. The end was just repeating itself nonstop.

Unfortunate storytelling.

Reads like a smear campaign and very snarky. Overall the narrator is great and she reads the story with the intention for which it was written. Definitely a biased collection of information.

Detailed and interesting

Very detailed account written in an interesting manner the author is obviously not a fan of Meghan and there were some good insights, a little repetitive especially the second half but enjoyable overall

Interesting Read

You may take the man from England, but you will never take England from the man. Time will ultimately be the judge of Meghan and Prince Harry. Time will also be the judge of whether or not their works of goodwill or greed will be the order of the day.
To demonstrate your environmental concerns, and general world wellbeing, you must lead by example, and generally, wealthy people make poor examples living in multi million dollar homes and traveling in private jets, displaying beautifully pristine green lawns, pools, and the like in a place that suffers a severe fresh water shortage.
The recent news of hundred million dollar deals looks more to me about enriching one’s self and guaranteeing a certain lifestyle. In addition, when Prince Harry openly solicited voice over work for Meghan with Disney, it was clearly a violation of royal protocol and he knew it.
Like them or not, the royal family will remain steadfast in their support of Prince Harry. After all, their track record of weathering the storms is without compare.

Get a new narrator

She has awful and so was the script! Several hours of my life I will never get back! You don’t like this couple! So say and get on with your life!

Interesting analysis

I enjoyed this book and and thought she had a good understanding about H&M narcissism and hypocrisy. When she compared British and American societies however, I thought she missed the mark. She did explain British aristocracy and royal rules well and had a good handle on the psychology of the pair. It’s a good book if you’re interested in this couple.

SUPERB! Wonderful insight.

Amazing book! Thank you Lady Colin Campbell for giving us this enlightening and eye opening story. I very much enjoyed it. 5 stars in all categories. Now on to Courtiers. NEVER listening to Spare.

Prophetic

Lady C has a talent for describing situations. We are seeing more of what she said in this book come to pass now.

Lady C Shines the Light First...Again

I have read Lady C since her Enlightening books on Princess Diana first hit the scene in the USA - and have never been disappointed or even had to question her. Her sources are impeccable, her wit, her enthusiasm for the truth in all matters, and her mastery of language have enthralled me through many topics through the years. This does not disappoint in the slightest. You will not get any closer to the real thing than any topic that Lady C takes ahold of. Always fair, always trying her hardest to give credit when due, and always unafraid to dispel any newsworthy untruths that are surfacing... such as these two... all of the time! Being from the USA and adoring Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II until her heartbreaking passing, these two have been on the radar over and over - but, alas, Lady C was there first as ever spilling the tea on the real situation. I have always held the Royal Family in high esteem for their differences and likenesses to the way a family functions. I was appalled at the actions of these two from the word GO. There have been quite a few books to follow Lady C, however they are stretching out where she left off, or offering countering opinions, although mainly agreeing factually. I find them interesting too, But, nobody pushes Lady C out of The Real Story.
