Meghan Markle 's biographer Omid Scobie has released the first part of his latest controversial book about the royal family - on the same day Princess Kate carries out an important engagement benefiting young children.

The book Endgame - which will be officially published on November 21 - is described on Amazon as "a penetrating investigation into the current state of the British monarchy".

The book's description goes on to say: "An unpopular king, a power-hungry heir to the throne, a queen willing to go to dangerous lengths to preserve her image, and a prince forced to start a new life after being betrayed by his own family."

The first nine chapters give strong clues at what and who may appear to be in the firing line of this scathing book. Some titles include ''Oh God, I Hate This': King Charles's Premiere' and 'Baggage: The Lingering Trials of King Charles'.

Readers can expect to get another view of the ongoing rift between the royal brothers Prince Harry and Prince William in two separate chapters titled: 'Gloves On: Prince William, Heir to the Throne' and 'Gloves Off: Prince Harry, Man on a Mission'.

The first part of this book is serialised and released today (Wednesday, November 15) through US People magazine. This bombshell release has come at the same time the Princess of Wales is carrying out an important engagement. The timing could be seen as a further swipe at the royal family.

Kate, 41, wore a purple suit as she delivered a landmark speech at The Design Museum for the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, which runs her 'life's work' Shaping Us project.

She has called for "action at every level" to help to rebalance and restore society's social and emotional skills as her early childhood foundation released new research on the issue.

In a keynote speech at a symposium convened by Kate to discuss the findings, the future Queen said the skills were the "human wiring we need".

She stressed the importance of the early years development of children and said those she had met at a "crisis point" in their lives had said for others to avoid their journey, a safe and loving childhood was needed.

During her engagement, she also revealed her son Louis has taken part in her study for early years. Before she entered the auditorium she spoke to compere and telly star Fearne Cotton about the project.

She said: "Louis class, they came back with a feelings wheel, it's really good, they to the classroom, these are five or six year olds, and going with names or pictures of a colour that represents how they feel that day, so there is a real keenness in school particularly to get involved in conversations, it's actually helping continuity across the board and then how does that feed into you, with your mental health, its same conversation, so to be able to find a bit of framework, to talk about this, is very important."

Asked by mum-of-two Feane how she was feeling, Kate replied: "Good, but nervous but excited too." She added: "So nice to see it all coming together and different people along with it. All of us are still learning and sharing experiences with each other.

The pair discussed the fact that guests will join afternoon workshops to discuss findings from her project. Kate: "I've asked everyone to be really honest." And added that there needs to be "tangible action". Kate asked Fearne: "Have you seen any of the data?"

And Fearne replied: "I've been following what you are doing on your Instagram feed. It's really built and built, it's incredible.

Kate gushed: "The science is really fascinating it is really,the more you understand the more you learn, more fascinating it becomes, because scientists are always saying we need to get our knowledge, our data translated into public consciousness and real life tangible actions that the families are then going to learn from and sectors of health and educators."
