Despite the pomp and circumstance, royals have published books of their own over the years. This is not a new concept and has been around for decades. We all know, of course, that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have both released books under their own names.
For this list, we will NOT include books with forewords written by royals, but we will be including books that were projects started by royals, such as the book Hold Still (by Catherine, the Princess of Wales) and Earthshot (by Prince William). One example of a book that will not be included is The Together Cookbook as not a project of Meghan’s. The only involvement she had was the foreword and an alleged tiny recipe and therefore contributed like 0.5% to the book.
This will surely be a list of books, with the whole book written by royals. Again, if you’ve seen our lists of books about Meghan and The Queen, you’ll know we’ll include links to Amazon.
