The blurb on Batsford's website describes the Pitkin-branded title as a “very special new royal souvenir to celebrate this truly modern love story.”
It also tells the “story of how the dashing prince met and fell in love with the beautiful American actress” despite their “differing backgrounds and career paths.”
It says Meghan “enters a new chapter as she becomes a senior member of the Royal Family,” adding: “We have no doubt that she will carry out this task with her natural charm and elegance.”
Additionally, the book states: “With lavish illustrations and some previously unpublished images, this is an unforgettable souvenir.”
The author, Ms. Sadat, has also written several other royal titles in recent years, including the 2018 publication “Harry & Meghan: The Royal Wedding Book.”
Harry and Meghan announced their engagement at a photocall in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace in west London before marrying at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle in May 2018.

However, in early 2020, they announced they would be stepping down as senior royals before moving to the US – where they now live in Montecito, California.
Perhaps the most famous book about the couple was Finding Freedom by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, one of the fastest-selling royal books in history.
Harry also wrote a biography called Spare, which was published in January 2023 and included a series of royal bombshells. The Duke is believed to have signed a four-book contract.
The pair also have an £80m deal with Netflix to produce video content, although their £18m audio deal with Spotify ended at the start of last summer.
A Waterstones spokesperson told Web: “This title, published in 2017, has been discontinued by its publisher Pitkin Publishing and is no longer available for online ordering.”
“It is common for our stores to include out-of-print or damaged inventory in a local clearance sale at a discounted price to make room for new books on their shelves.”
