Andrew Morton is writing tell-all Meghan Markle biography
His biography of Princess Diana shook the world when it was released in 1992, revealing her battle with bulimia, suicide attempts and her heartache over Camilla.
Now author Andrew Morton is set to turn his attention to the newest member of the royal family, bride-to-be Meghan Markle.
The 64-year-old confirmed the news on Twitter, saying: 'Excited to be writing Meghan Markle's story. She has bags of charisma. A royal star who will have tremendous impact on royal family and wider world.'
According to The Bookseller, Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, will be published on 19th April 2018, a month before the former Suits star weds Prince Harry at Windsor Castle.
The British author lives in California not far from where Meghan grew up and promises the tome will be an 'unparalleled' look at Meghan's life before she met the Prince.

Morton's book about Diana caused shockwaves around the world when it was released in 1992
'I was a fan of Meghan's long before she met Prince Harry. She has star quality, what some have called "the Markle Sparkle",' he said.
'Confident, groomed and camera ready, she is a dramatic contrast to the blushing, coy royal brides of recent history.
'The warmth and affection Meghan and Harry displayed during their engagement interview is light years away from the stilted "whatever love means" conversation with Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981.
'Meghan is an exciting and genuinely charismatic addition to the royal family - she makes the House of Windsor seem relevant again. Hers is a fascinating story and I can't wait to tell it.'

Mr Morton wrote international bestseller Diana: Her True Story in 1992 and a revised edition after her death based on taped responses from Diana to his written questions.
Those recordings, about seven hours of taped responses, were secretly made in Kensington Palace in 1991 during a series of interviews conducted through an intermediary, Dr James Colthurst.
There is no suggestion, however, that Meghan has co-operated in any way with Morton's latest book.
In the tapes, the princess talks openly about her life before marrying Prince Charles, her long battle with bulimia, her suicide attempts, the heartache over her husband's long affair with Camilla Parker Bowles and her strained relationships with other members of the Royal family.

When the book was first released it was met with 'shock, disgust and astonishment' from many members of the public.
The Archbishop of Canterbury condemned it, an MP suggested Mr Morton be imprisoned in the Tower of London, and the chairman of the Press Complaints Commission, Lord McGregor, accused the media of ‘dabbling their fingers in the stuff of other people’s souls’.
In the ensuing furore, the book was banned by numerous major bookstores and supermarkets until it became apparent that the book had been produced with the Princess' co-operation.
