In The Diana Chronicles, you will meet a formidable female cast and understand as never before the society that shaped them: among them, Diana's sexually charged mother, her bad-girl sister-in-law, Fergie, and, most formidable of them all, her mother-in-law, the Queen. Add Camilla Parker-Bowles, the ultimate "other woman" into this combustible mix, and it's no wonder that Diana broke out of her royal cage into celebrity culture, where she found her own power and used it to devastating effect.

His intimate firsthand account provides an affectionate, if not always uncritical, insight into this complex, troubled, but ultimately deeply fascinating woman.

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.

Riveting - and I don't follow royals
I couldn't stop listening. Lots of history and perspective. Excellent narration, not too fast nor too slow. I don't pay attention to royals but Harry and Meghan stirred up such a soap opera that I became curious. I wanted to find out if my far away perceptions in California matched that of someone close to the source... and it was a resounding yes. It's a sad story, really, an adorable young Meghan (love her childhood photos) grows up to be a calculating siren, thinking money and fame are the most worthy goals and sheds anyone who might tarnish the tinsel town light that flashes her way. A spare prince who relinquishes his power to the rescue of the manipulative beauty, who clearly needs no rescuing, other than from her narcissistic and poor me views. Has Harry not learned the warning signs of a controlling spouse? The first signal is how they isolate you from those you have previously held most dear. He's in deep now. Will his pride allow him to come clean once he's truly woke... vs the Meghan-wokeness that serves a political agenda she may not even grasp. I'd have more respect if they were working to eliminate the industry of child sex trafficking, a true and massive problem of our times . Watching them together is painful. You can see the pup in Harry's face and the cool calm "I got this, follow me" mask that Meghan wears. The long story will either be they fall apart due to lack of mutual respect after the facade wears off or they stick together with an "us vs the world" fantasy. Great read, thank you, Lady Colin Campbell.

Devastating and fascinating
This book had its faults but for me it was a devastating critique of Meghan and Harry. Both come under heavy criticism but for different reasons. Meghan for her unbridled ambition and Harry for essentially enabling her poor behavior.
The book paints a devastating picture of Meghan by recounting such topics as; her disdain for British and royal family traditions, her behavior related to her wedding, extravagant spending on clothes and disregard for traditional royal apparel wearing norms, her appalling behavior with her father and more distant family members, her tendency to discard people after they are of no further use to Meghan, etc.
I found this book flawed in a few important areas but was overall hard to put down. Examples-the author is very critical of princess Dianna, has a definite tendency to name drop, tends to go off on tangents, and repeats herself. The author has a few rather controversial themes such as whether or not Archie is really the son of Meghan and Harry, and the U.S. presidential aspirations of Meghan.
The author gives an excellent overview of British culture as it differs from Current US culture. Most particularly the differences in the British vs. American press.
Overall I would highly recommend this book despite some notable faults.

Anti-American and the POV is biased. This title, along with Finding Freedom, are both pathetic whinings regarding H & M.

Author writes like Meghan killed her dog
Wow! At the beginning of the book, the author teases that Meghan did something unspeakable early in her marriage to Harry. I really wanted to listed long enough to find out what it was, but I couldn't. After a few hours, I had to return this. I doubt I missed anything.
This book is an exhaustive (and exhausting) list of things Meghan, Harry (and Diana, for some reason) have failed at, going back to childhood. Meghan failed the civil service exam! Harry was a bad student! So was Diana!
The tone is nasty, too. I lost count of how many times the author sarcastically said a cause was "woke." Really?
My advice is to skim the Kindle sample. It is nicer in tone and content than the rest of the book but will give you a good idea of whether is something you want to read or listen to.

Wow! So good!
This book was so good! The author is fair and just in her writing. She gives credit where credit is due and she is frank when describing the times when the couple acted less than respectable or royal. I could tell that the author really put a lot into this book, and she even said during an interview that she did not scour the internet looking for information online to use in the book. She apparently steered clear of the media altogether and relied on good old-fashioned sleuth work and interviews while writing it. It's plain to see from her knowledge and detailed information that the author runs in the same circles as the royals and their friends from the aristocracy which is why I'm not even mad that she only cited a couple sources. I understand why she didn't though. I had fun trying to guess who said what, especially when she said it was "the cousins." I kept thinking was it Beatrice or Eugenie, Peter or Zara, or was it one of the Queen's cousins like Prince Michael of Kent. How fun! I learned a few new things that I hadn't heard before, and the author clarified some things that the media got wrong or partially wrong. I highly recommend the audio book version over the paperback. It's not hard to read in print but I just found the audio book more exciting. The narrator does a wonderful job! She sounds British, and she pronounces the French words and phrases in the book spot on with a really good accent. Overall, the book deserves a solid A! I've already started listening to it again from the beginning.❤

LIES & JUNK with a tiny bit of truth sprinkled in
Look... I'm not that crazy about Meghan or Harry but this trash is just over the top junk. It starts off with a lie about a curtsy at the wedding that has been disproven over & over and continues with misinformation throughout the first 4 chapters. I stopped after 4 chapters and will return it. The author also comes across as racist. SMH... ridiculous waste of time and a credit.

We all need a Lady Colin Campbell in our lives to have tea with. Highly entertaining and informative, the book gives a very insightful description of Meghan and Harry relationship dynamic and her relationship with the British press, royal family & British society. Albeit a royalist, Lady C always tries to show both sides of the story and therefore brings a more realistic nature to Meghan’s true personality than other biographies out there.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Author plain mean
The author was so nasty in her bias against Meghan Markle it totally undermined many of her reasonable claims that the Duchess of Sussex is a dubious character. Not worth the read.

HATCHET JOB 101
I honestly couldn't listen to more than 3 chapters. Im neither a monarchist or republican, but what i appreciate is balance in a book like this, but this my friends is nothing short of a hatchet job. In this day and age it's origin is obvious, and lame to be honest.
To make matters worse the narrator is a painful, marbles in her mouth snob, which I assume was done to reflect the character of the Author. Passive-agressive rudeness! This book paints the monarchy in a terrible light, which I'm sure was not its intended purpose.
Don't waste your time of money!

Show me the Money
I enjoyed this book much more than I thought I would.
Thankfully the author brought up the subject of the Proctor and Gamble dishwashing ad, the one which Meghan claimed she got changed by writing to the Company , Hillary Clinton etc and complaining it was sexist. Did she really believe she was the only female in America offended by the ad . I'm with the author and would expect they got loads of complaints about an ad that suggested only women did the dishwashing.
The book does a bit of name dropping, repeats itself a bit too often and bringing up Toni Blair and the author's dislike of him was a bit of trivia.
The book paints Meghan as a smart operator and grafter and it's all about making Money. Why work for the Queen and not get paid when across the pond you could cash in big time as a Royal and dress it up with a but of Philanthropy so you look caring.
Meghan was the one who organised the American law and talent representatives going behind Buckingham Palace Officials. Meghan spent a considerable amount of money on cloths funded by Prince Charles. She was the one telling Harry they could makes so much Money .
Marrying into the British Royal family is not for the faint hearted but according to the book, this was a stepping stone for Meghan to become much more high profile. Royals are not celebrities which Meghan was unable to adapt to. The author suggesting Meghan had dreams of becoming at some stage the President of the USA is highly fanciful and ludicrous as were a few other assertiation in the book.
Harry is depicted as wanting to please his wife, desperately in love with her and willing to give up a lot for her. It is worrying that she has managed to separate him from his family and his royal life, relocate to another country via Canada and have no concrete plans of where to from here. Megan's only family is her Mum.
The story is at best a very sad one for both these people. Meghan did not really try and understand the role of the Queen and her family in Britain and the Commonwealth, she never even resided long enough in the UK to become a British Citizen and Harry can not work in the USA until he get USA residency. If he becomes a citizen of the USA he loses his royal title. It is very messy and I'll conceived move even if Meghan was really struggling to cope in the UK.
I enjoyed the narration of the book and the language although I disagreed with some of the assertions of the author because they were way to fanciful.
What happens to Meghan, Harry and Archie is anyone's guess but I think Harry is in trouble.

Meghan and Harry: The Real Story
I loved this book. A real insight into the real story of Meghan and Harry. I listening to Lady Colin Campbell on YouTube and now her books and I loved the voice of the reader.

Balanced but repetitive.
The overall story was balanced, taking into account different players view points. I felt the story could have been edited better, as the same message was often repeated and the language was long winded. I appreciated the comparisons between current day and historical precedents. Lady C's analysis was complex reflecting the complexities of the individuals and circumstances involved. Overall an interesting take on the evolving story of Harry and Megan.

Shockingly Bad
I didn’t think much of Harry & Megan’s other book (Finding Freedom) as no one can be THAT good and never set a foot wrong.
But I’ve found a worse book. This one.
The snobbiness, sharp criticism, terrible assumptions and praise of the British press by the author made me cringe and become quite upset.
If this is what the couple faced by the snobby, upper class aristocracy and Royal family, there was no wonder why Megan was suicidal and they resigned from their official jobs. That they lasted 2 years was a miracle.
Surely the truth somewhere in the middle of these 2 books?

Colin Campbell's view - from a bigotted outlook?
The only thing I found interesting was some of the facts that Colin presented in (mainly the early) parts of the book.
The rest was a vitriolic from a biased and mostly likely jealous point of view.
She should know what ruins the Royal Family is in, an absolute disgrace.
Waste of time and paper...

nasty, pompous, and biased
Lady Colin Campbell is an unashamed traditionalist, conservative snob in her account of Harry & Megan's experiences of the royal family and tabloid press, AND courtiers who actually run the show. don't bother with this brazen attempt to make a fast buck by part of the established aristocracy who fear change and judge a person's value by whether they are wearing see-through sleeves before 5pm cocktail hour.
