Heartfelt, and emotionally revealing. I'll bet the Queen is proud of Meghan and her namesake "Lilbet"! God gave the Queen: Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lilbet as a HUG to fill the void of losing her husband. Oprah needs to stand down with always playing the race card. Meghan is accepted by the Royal family. Camille on the other hand needs to close her yap about skin tone, and remember she was the "third", nothing to be proud of.

I have 4 kids. This book might be the worst book I’ve ever seen. I normally have something nice to say but in this case it was bad all the way around.
