Meghan and Harry: The Real Story: Persecutors or Victims by Lady Colin Campbell
informative
slow-paced
2.0
i’m a big fan of the royal family and i read most books about them so I saw this one on kindle and picked it up. Harry and Meghan seem to engender strong feelings on many sides and this book is no exception. I do think this one went too far, however. The author is not a fan of either Harry or Meghan, and I do agree with the premise the Meghan was unprepared for the service and duty required of royal family members, who are public servants not celebrities. However Campbell goes well beyond this and makes unfounded accusations about Megan’s pregnancies and births that seem so far fetched they undermine many of the other points she makes. She discounts anything about racism as applied to Meghan. Although the author appears to have many good sources within the royal family and aristocracy, she really dislikes Harry and Meghan and her enmity is so obvious that it makes the book as a biography or history without weight or merit. The book is poorly edited and repetitive and also disjointed. Why did I even finish it? I just read books about the royal family and am a completist so I finished but it was a slog.
