What did he say about Meghan and Harry?
Omid added, 'I don't even think Harry and Meghan, who by their own account struggled with the realities of the situation, expected things to turn out the way they did.'
'I've been on so many engagements and around them as much as possible, and spoken to so many people in their lives, so no stone has been left unturned.
'I’ve seen the couple remain faithful in their own beliefs and stand strong in the face of adversities which have been publicly played out in the press.
'And I would like to think this tells the definitive version of their lives together.'
The biography is co-authored by royal reporter Carolyn Durand and is being published by Harper Collins.
On its website, it states that 'few know the true story' of the couple.
