Meghan Markle eager to be ‘Diana 2.0’, according to new book by royal writer Andrew Morton
‘Meghan: A Hollywood Princess’ also details how the 36-year-old Suits star ditched her first husband in a way that also cost her a lifelong friend
Meghan Markle has her heart set on becoming “Diana 2.0”, according to a new biography of Prince Harry’s fiancée that details her lifelong embrace of good causes but also points to a calculating streak.
The US actress, who is set to marry her royal beau on May 19, is fiercely protective of “Brand Meghan” and sidelines people as she moves ahead in life, according to people who know her cited in the book.
Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, which is due out in Britain on Thursday, details how the 36-year-old Suits star ditched her first husband in a way that also cost her a lifelong friend.
The biography was authored by Andrew Morton, the British royal writer who penned the blockbuster Diana: Her True Story, with the late princess’s covert assistance.
Morton also details her fascination with Harry’s mother Diana around the time of her death in 1997, watching her funeral in tears and old tapes of her marriage to Prince Charles.
Family friends said she was intrigued by Diana “not just for her style but for her independent humanitarian mission, seeing her as a role model”.
