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.

gossipy and random
this is a very peculiar book. it's really bitchy and full of the author's self-aggrandising and snobbery. The author has zero connection to the royal family but likes to hint that she does. It's a mix up of personal opinions and quotes from random people. it's very long, part 1 ends up just ramblings.

A very bitchy Author...
Lady C makes me laugh because she is so bitchy and thinks she is royal and more important than anyone--there's a name for that. If I were you, before purchasing this, I would watch "I'm a celeb get me out of here, lady C clips" on YouTube first so that you can get to know the real lady C, before reading this book... She's chatting like she was there lol. The book reveals more about the bitter author than it does about meghan lol.

Don’t waste your credit! Bloody awful!
This book is rubbish! It is just a toffee-nosed, poorly written,
pretentious, name-dropping pile of doo-dah!
As much as I am not a fan of Meghan at all, hence the choice, and am sure a significant number of the stories are true, it is also cruel to the point of being vicious.
The surrogate story is just ridiculous and beyond parody.
However, I doubt whether the Scobie diatribe is any better.
Avoid like crazy and read some good fiction - use your credit in a better way.

A Very Interesting Read
The erudite and articulate Lady C has Meghan Markles number. Other reviewers have called this work "bitchy" I disagree. Lady C has clearly got the real story. She tells it like it is and I, for one agree with every word. I have always believed that Meghan was not pregnant and that a surrogate was used. Any real mother only needs to look at her with Archie. I too, believe that Meghan will break Harry's heart, its only a matter of time. Lady C says what many of us are thinking. Everything she says about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is absolutely spot on. Well done Lady C.

Don’t waste your time
Please do not waste your time and money.
I have read several and this is the worse one by a long shot. Finding Freedom, Meghan & Harry was a much more detailed and balanced book.
Throughout she brings her own opinions out as if they are facts, ‘Diana caused her marriage to fail, she was the worst in the party’ - No Prince Charles didn’t love her from day one and yes he did deny adult Ry initially but soon after he admitted he was a cheat.
Lady C even suggests because Meghan worked in law in the film Suits that she thinks she knows better than her solicitor and that despite her solicitor opposition she continues to press for a law case in UK courts against the Daily Mail. This is complete and utter nonsense as in the UK we pay for solicitors to exercise their professional judgements and that sometimes goes against the clients wishes. However clients of the solicitors most certainly do not challenge the solicitor into doing something that they they feel professional they cannot legally challenged, their needs to be a reasonable chance of success at Court before a solicitor will take on a case.
Lady C is a snob, thinks she is high regarded and connects with the royal family, only thing she connects with is her self indulgence of her own toffee nose.
Do not waste your money, Lady C was married to Lord Campbell for one year, and still continues to keep her ‘title’, let that sink in. And she claims Meghan’s in the marriage for power and lucrative business.

Fairly objective view
If your a Megan and Harry fan you probably won’t like this book.
I found that the author has tried to be objective and look at both side of the picture.
A lot of rumours have been addressed in this book.
The fact that Lady Colin Campbell hasn’t been sued by the couple leads me to believe that a lot of it is true.
As a royal fan I enjoyed it. And it’s helped to make my own mind up about what the couple are really like.

Glad I heard this account first
What a brilliant, articulate and well put together book. I really felt by the end I could trust the words of this intelligent, well positioned lady. It did not come over as unkind or vengeful, but rather informative and informed. As well as enjoying her account of the ‘situation’ this couple find themselves in, I feel I have a better knowledge of all things Royal now - the whys and wherefores!
The narrator was spot on in her delivery also, although her pronunciation of the name Archie was interesting.

Tedious
Gave up reading part way through Chapter 2 and returned the book. Long on irrelevant and uninteresting filler, short on much of interest that hasn't already been covered ad nauseam in the media. I really couldn't care less what the racial mix of Markle's infant school was, or the irrelevant history of its founder, building code changes in 1990s California or any other irrelevant and pointless info used to pad out the chapters.

Horrific
This is one nasty piece of work. I'm not a unadulterated fan of the couple but this is just horrible. The language used to describe the couple and their family members is nothing short of slanderous. Don't even think about it! How did she get away with it!

Don't judge the book by its first chapter!
At first I did not like the first chapter, I was all for Harry and Megan. However Listening to the end really show's the story and the truth of it. now I'm a little put off them and feel sorry for the Royal who have worked hard for the crown not like megan who did not like the hard work so left. All fame no duty.
