Main article: Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography Reviewers commented on the lack of depth, the frequent drawing on information from Morton's previous royal biographies, and the way the book had apparently been rushed through the process of publication. His biography of Elizabeth II, called The Queen: A Life, was published in November, 2022, two months after her death. In April 2018, he published Meghan: A Hollywood Princess about Meghan Markle, who married Prince Harry a month later in May 2018.
The book features full-colour photos of Prince William and the couple, as well as a detailed section on the wedding itself. The book, which went on sale on in the UK, includes a detailed biography of Prince William, as well as details of his relationship with Catherine Middleton. Morton was commissioned by Michael O'Mara Books to write a book to coincide with the royal wedding on 29 April 2011. On 16 November 2010, Prince William announced his engagement to Catherine Middleton. The revelation, which came after years of denial of getting any input from Diana for the book, together with the release of her recorded conversations on tapes caused a mixed reaction in the press, with some accusing Morton of breaching confidentiality and exploiting the tragedy of her untimely death and others praising his candour. Following Diana's death in August 1997, Morton issued an edition entitled Diana: Her True Story in Her Own Words in October and acknowledged Diana's role as the book's main source of information. In 1993 it was made into a television film of the same name, with Serena Scott Thomas as Diana.
