The release date is 19th April 2018, the month before the royal wedding at Windsor Castle in May.

He wrote William & Catherine: Their Story, which was released to coincide with the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. As well as his books on Princess Diana, Andrew has also told the stories of Madonna, Angelina Jolie and the Beckhams. His book on Wallis Simpson is due to be published in February 2018.
Andrew recently spoke to HELLO! on the pairing of Prince Harry and Meghan and believes the late Princess Diana would have been thrilled at her son’s choice of partner. "People warm to Meghan not just because she is an attractive Hollywood actress but because she made something of her life before meeting Harry," he said. "She is a humanitarian and a campaigner for those less fortunate. Remind you of anyone? Of course the comparisons with Diana are inevitable. She would have heartily approved of her son's choice - a successful career woman in her own right."

He added: "As an American, who tend to be more open, and as an actress, where being in touch with feelings is part of the job, Meghan Markle will be an ideal foil for Harry. They are a modern, glamorous couple for a modern royal family."
