The British Royal Family believed that the dizzy success of the Sussex wedding, watched and celebrated around the world, was the beginning of a new era for the Windsors. Yet, within one tumultuous year, the dream became a nightmare. In the aftermath of the infamous Megxit split and the Oprah Winfrey interview, the Royal Family's fate seems persistently threatened.
As Meghan and Harry's much-trailed Netflix documentary finally airs, the public remains puzzled. Meghan's success has alternatively won praise, bewildered and outraged. Confused by the Sussexes' slick publicity, few understand the real Meghan Markle. What lies ahead for Meghan? And what has happened to the family she married into? Can the Windsors restore their reputation?
With extensive research, expert sourcing and interviews from insiders who have never spoken before, Tom Bower, Britain's leading investigative biographer, unpicks the tangled web of courtroom drama, courtier politics and thwarted childhood dreams to uncover an astonishing story of love, betrayal, secrets and revenge.
I'm not particularly a fan of the monarchy but I would have had to have been living under a rock to have missed the war of the Windsors. Whilst I didn't follow the Megxit split, I did feel sorry for the Queen losing her grandson. Unfortunately, family feuds do happen in real life and the Royal Family are clearly no exception.
I loved Suits so I knew who Meghan Markle was when she first appeared by Harry's side, but I would have classed her as the kind of 'celebrity' who would appear in I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here - someone who not many people would recognise. That's all changed now and everyone knows who Meghan Markle is. Finally, she can be the star of the show...erm, not exactly, she's still just a supporting cast member.
Revenge is very interesting reading and it seems to have been meticulously researched. Reading the inconsistencies, contradictions and story changes is astonishing and I really can't argue with some of the facts that are laid out before me. What I do argue with is the mindless hatred that seems to be directed at Meghan - nobody should have to experience that, whether they're in the public eye or not.
Whether you love them or hate them, there's no denying that the Royal Family didn't know what hit them when Meghan married Harry. British history is well documented and this is one history that Meghan Markle cannot erase or rewrite.
I really enjoyed Revenge and would definitely recommend giving it a read.
