I have the book.
Chapter One:
Misan Harriman connected Meghan to One Young World all the way back in 2014:
Although the actress was largely unknown in 2014, Kate Robertson had been persuaded by the photographer Misan Harriman to give Meghan a slot at the Dublin conference. 'Choose her. She'll be a a star,' urged Harriman. Not only because she was acting in Suits, the American cable TV series, explained Harriman, but because 'she's a hustler and a climber. She's looking for ins and ups.'
At One Young World in 2016, three months after Meghan began dating Harry:
She had inveigled her way into Vanity Fair's photograph featuring 'exceptional young leaders' and had scrutinized whether her name featured as a 'Very Very Important Person' (VVIP) on the roster. Disgruntled by her failure to secure top billing, she abruptly announced she was needed on the Suits set in Toronto and departed without making her listed speech to the conference.
At One Young World in 2019:
Every request to confirm Meghan's participation produced conflicting replies from her assistants - positive from Amy Pickerill; frosty from Beth Herlihy; encouraging from Sara Latham, a Kensington Palace media official who replied 'We want to do to the project and we want to do it now'; and finally hectic from Samantha Cohen, the Sussexes' most senior advisor. 'It became a nightmare to get her to the event,' recalled Robertson. The chaos had spread to the London headquarters of the Invictus Games, Harry's successful sports competition for wounded military veterans. 'It's a shit show over there,' chief executive Don Reid reported about Kensington Palace. 'Harry has no idea what's happening.' The nub was a breakdown of relations between the Sussexes and their staff - and everyone knew the reason.
Just a reminder here that this was October 2019. Harry and Meghan were very much their own household and their own office at this time.
At One Young World in 2022:
In Meghan's new career, media advisors were supreme. At that moment, no one was more important in Los Angeles than Meghan's in-house media managers: Beth Herlihy, Miranda Barbot, and Ashley Hansen. Barbot had worked on Barack Obama's 2012 election team and Hansen came from Universal Pictures. The most important outsider was Keleigh Thomas Morgan, of Sunshine Sachs, a Los Angeles PR agency. As the Sussexes' global press secretary, Hansen described herself as 'the brain behind Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's PR and communications strategy.'
and
Meghan asked [Vogue Magazine] editor Edward Enniful to feature her on Vogue's front cover ahead of the Manchester event. Over the following weeks, their discussions soured. MEghan's demands for control over the content reportedly infuriated Enniful. Plus, he had already chosen a cover and her demands for an online version were exhausting. Her proposal was dumped. In the fall-out, Meghan would not be invited in 2024 by Enniful to feature in the photograph for his last edition featuring Vogue's forty 'legendary' women.
(Rumors began circulating in 2024 of a fallout between Meghan and Enniful that involved her pushy demands and a cover that never materialized but I don't believe we ever knew the exact timing - many people speculated it was the Linda Evangelista cover, and now we have confirmation of both.)
On September 7, 2022, Harry had gone to Dusseldorf for a red carpet event for Invictus Games and returned to London after the event to attend the WellChild Awards on the following day, September 8, 2022:
At the end of the day, Harry returned to Frogmore anticipating his imminent return to Los Angeles. Deeply distrusted by the royal household, Harry had been purposely kept ignorant of the events occurring in Scotland.
That very last line sums it all up: Harry is so reviled by the family and the household that they didn't even tell him to prepare.
(IMO, that was very much the right choice and this is 100% FAFO.)
