REVENGE
BY TOM BOWER

his instant #1 internationally bestselling “explosive tell-all” (Daily Express, London) reveals the
inside story about Meghan Markle’s journey from minor actress and attempted activist to the
Twoman powerful enough to drive a wedge within the British royal family.
After a childhood spent on Hollywood film sets, Meghan fought hard for stardom. But even when
she landed her breakthrough role on Suits, her dream of worldwide celebrity remained elusive until
she met the man who would change her life – Prince Harry. Their whirlwind romance culminated
with Meghan’s ultimate fairytale ending: their 2018 wedding at Windsor Castle. Finally, the world
was her stage.

It seemed that the dizzying success of the wedding between the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex
marked the beginning of a fresh era for the British royal family. Yet, within one tumultuous year, the
dream became a nightmare. In the aftermath of the infamous Megxit split and their Oprah Winfrey
interview, the increasingly toxic relationship between the two Windsor sides seemed forever ruptured.
What does the future hold for Meghan and Harry? And can the rest of the Windsors restore their
reputation?

BY JENNY TSCHIESCHE

time, cook food fast and evenly, can be used away from home (making them popular for
camping trips, staycations and student living), plus clean-up is easy too. Nutritionist Jenny
Tschiesche has developed 101 tried-and-tested recipes to help you get the very best out of
your air-fryer. Her appealing ideas take their inspiration from all styles of world cuisine, and
there is something here to suit every occasion, from snacks and sides to complete meals
