Picture Book, Hardcover, 32 pp

When Guy met Meghan Markle, he was just a shelter dog dreaming of a forever home. Guy believed their puppy love story was straight out of a fairy tale. But when Harry, the Prince of England, fell in love with Meghan too, Guy realized he could dream even bigger: the royal palace.
​
Inspired by the heartwarming and true story of Meghan Markle and her rescue beagle, Guy, this is the journey of one dog, one Duchess, and a happily-ever-after tail worth chasing.


The book received a royal welcome just days after its publication. On January 19, all 630 Barnes & Noble stores nationwide hosted a children’s story time event featuring The Duchess and Guy.
