Description

INSTANT INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER * NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

The first, epic and true story of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s life together, finally revealing why they chose to pursue a more independent path, despite Harry’s deep devotion to his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, and the reasons behind their unprecedented decision to step away from their royal lives, from two top royal reporters who have been behind the scenes since the couple first met. Finding Freedom is complete with full color photographs from Harry and Meghan’s courtship, wedding, Archie’s milestones, every unforgettable moment.

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 rumors 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.

    Simply a spoiled rich family, who are crying about all the privilege and special perks they had received, but now they have buyers remorse. Boo-hoo, we do not care about your minor problems. Grow up and try and act like mature adults.
  • Great Book

    I enjoyed it, it's a great read. It doesn't feel like gossip, it's almost like reading a journal where a person has time to reflect on events from both a personal and big- picture perspective.

    The book read more like a tabloid article the couple so desperately tried to hide from. Several grammatical and editorial errors made for confusion in reading. This book seemed like a “B list” book written by novice journalists.
  • Good read

    This book is a bizarre mixture of garbage and insight. For example, the author spends way too long on the idiotic and absurd rumor that Meghan faked her pregnancy. But she does offer insight into why the US and UK reacted differently to the Sussexes’ behavior, and calls out some of Meghan’s myth making (Proctor & Gamble didn’t really change their ad because of her). The book also badly needed an editor.

    A silly book about thin-skinned rich people.

    It is clear this book was written to discredit and disrespect the Royal Family. If this is written supposedly from indirect resources, it really doesn’t seem that way. It truly seems too good to not be direct spoon-fed details from Meghan and Harry. Either that, or “friends” who blabbed personal details could only provide this kind of gossip. I’ve loved Meghan from her days in Suits...but this book cements a shallow, entitled, Hollywood mindset. This unfortunately does not pair Harry in a good light. I regret buying this. It really is a slap in the face to The Queen, Prince Charles, and Prince William.
