About this ebook

INSTANT INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER * NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER * ONE OF THE TOP 10 BEST-SELLING ROYAL BIOGRAPHIES OF ALL TIME

When news of the budding romance between a beloved English prince and an American actress broke, it captured the world’s attention and sparked an international media frenzy.

But while the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have continued to make headlines – from their engagement, wedding, and birth of their son Archie to their unprecedented decision to step back from their royal lives – few know the true story of Harry and Meghan.

For the very first time, FINDING FREEDOM goes beyond the headlines to reveal unknown details of Harry and Meghan’s life together, dispelling the many rumours and misconceptions that plague the couple on both sides of the pond. As members of the select group of reporters that cover the British Royal Family and their engagements, Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand have witnessed the young couple’s lives as few outsiders can.

With unique access and written with the participation of those closest to the couple, FINDING FREEDOM is an honest, up-close, and disarming portrait of a confident, influential, and forward-thinking couple who are unafraid to break with tradition, determined to create a new path away from the spotlight, and dedicated to building a humanitarian legacy that will make a profound difference in the world.

This book is Pointless. Pages & pages of petty Childlike complaining of unfairness & indicative of a severe case of godcomplex. No interesting information, no interesting ideas, no achievements, no skills. This is the worse book I have ever read. It really does highlight the Duke & Dutchess of Sussex's immaturity & complete lack of selfawareness. Don't waste your precious time & money on these 2 fake do-good celebrities.

At best this book brings to fore the very real human struggles and feelings of Harry and Meghan. Its sometimes so easy to view celebrities or other high profile people as problem free. This book made me feel very real empathy for the couple and some of the horrible hate they faced from the media. However, i have always despised the way the media pitted the two Duchesses against each other and this book does more of the same. Deliberately dehumanising Kate to uplift Meghan. The bias was barely disguised.
