Meghan: A Hollywood Princess Review

Note: This is an opinion, not fact.

Meghan: A Hollywood Princess by Andrew Morton, is a tell-all biography of Meghan Markle. The book talks about Meghan Markle's childhood in California, her journey from an aspiring actress to landing the role of Rachel Zane on television show Suits, all the way through her relationship with Prince Harry. The book also includes pictures of her as child, and from her first marriage to Trevor Engelson. While I found this book an entertaining read, I had two issues with it.

1. The Wedding Speculations

This book, published only weeks before the wedding has a lot of speculation about what Meghan's dress would look like, and what would happen during the wedding. This made the book fairly uninteresting to read after the wedding had happened, because I already knew what her dress looked like.

2. Misspelled Names

Andrew Morton, the author, misspells two people's names in his book. He calls Princess Eugenie's fiance, who's real last name is Brooksbank, Brookbank. He also calls Queen Letizia of Spain Queen Letita of Spain.

In conclusion, I thought that this book was while entertaining to read, contains lots of speculation over the wedding and two careless name errors.

I give this book: ⭐⭐⭐✩✩

This is how I viewed the wedding. 4:00 am - Turned on the television. At this point, people had not started to arrive yet, and it was mainly reporters speculating about Meghan's dress. 4:30 to 5:00 am - People started to come, mainly aristocrats, Hollywood stars, and friends of Harry and Meghan, including Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, and Prince Harry's ex Chelsy Davy. Reporters also interviewed people who had charities that Harry and Meghan supported. Sometime after that, (I lost track of the time,) some more celebrities and aristocrats came, including the Middletons, the Beckhams and the Clooneys, as well as some more actresses. Then, the royal family began to arrive. The first royal that I saw was Zara Tindall, who is  pregnant with her second child, who is due v...

Royal Travels: Costuming The Crown

I recently went to the exhibit Costuming The Crown, at Winterthur, the estate of the du Pont family in Delaware, United States. While Delaware may seem like an unlikely place for royal happenings, it currently houses an exhibit with approximately 40 costumes and props from the award winning Netflix television show, The Crown. Yes, you read that correctly. You can currently view costumes and props from The Crown at the Winterthur Museum in Delaware. Some of the most impressive and iconic costumes on display are... 1. Queen Elizabeth's Coronation Gown 2. Prince Philip's Uniform 3. Queen Mary of Teck's Dress 4. Queen Elizabeth's Black Coat (When she gets off the plane in season 1, episode 2) 5. Queen Elizabeth's Wedding Dress 6. Princess Margaret's Wedding Dress 7. Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret's Ballgowns (The two on t...
