It read: “Meghan Markle currently attends Immaculate Heart High School in Los Angeles, California and enjoys watching television, spending time with her friends, and participating in musical comedies.
“Meghan wrote this book in the eighth grade as a school project and now wishes to continue writing throughout high school.
“She wants to take a moment to thank her mommy and daddy who gratefully spent their time and effort supporting her.”
