Meghan: A Hollywood Princess by Andrew Morton (Michael O'Mara Books Ltd) 

Hot off the heels of Harry and Meghan's much-publicised marriage comes the first in-depth biography of the "Hollywood princess", written by acclaimed royal biographer Andrew Morton. 

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were set up by a mutual friend on a blind date in June 2016 and 16  months later the resulting whirlwind romance lead to their marriage in May. 

She's really broken the royal mould: confident, charismatic and poised; and her warm and affectionate engagement TV interview made waves for the way she conducted herself. 

Morton uncovers the story of her childhood: growing up in LA, studying at an all-girls Catholic school and her acting career. Her struggles in Hollywood, as her mixed heritage was used against her, her work as a humanitarian ambassador - reminiscent of Princess Diana's passions are also related. 

Meghan has already made a great impact on the rigid traditions of the House of Windsor and Morton looks at what the future might hold.
