HEATHER COCKS: We did not have a sequel in mind. Check out the cover for The Heir Affair and read more below.ĮNTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So I guess the first question is when you wrote The Royal We, did you already have this sequel in mind or was this something that developed over time since as more has happened within the Royal Family? They also try to promise us they’re not witches despite writing a story about an American princess and manifesting it into truth - but to be honest, we’re not convinced. The book doesn’t hit shelves until July 7, but Cocks and Morgan sat down with EW for their first exclusive chat about what readers can expect, why the British royal family feels like the longest-running soap opera in history, and if this is the end of Bex and Nick’s story. Now, the two have to face up to what they’ve wrought and the emotional fallout of their choices - with the Queen, the world, and Nick’s brother Freddie. Away from the prying eyes of the press and the angry royal family, the two strive to protect their fragile romance - until a new crisis forces them back to London. The novel picks up where The Royal We left off, finding Rebecca “Bex” Porter and her husband Prince Nicholas in self-imposed exile after a scandalous secret derailed their fairy-tale wedding. Now, the dynamic duo, who also run witty fashion blog Go Fug Yourself, are back with a follow-up, The Heir Affair, and plenty more royal drama in store. And this was a full year before Meghan Markle even went on a first date with Prince Harry! In 2015, authors Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan gifted the world with The Royal We, a frothy, fun, engaging imagining of what would happen in an alternate universe where the Prince of Wales fell in love with and married an American.
