Publisher's summary

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 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.

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.

Finding Truth

It was good to finally hear the truth about H&M. This book was fair and balanced, without name calling or being disrespectful to anyone. Family dynamics is can be difficult, but I’m sure all will be well in the end.

Meghan is finally vindicated!

I have been following the story of these two for a few years and the media really did tear Meghan apart for no real reason other than the fact that she was half black, divorced and an actress. The articles written about her were sensational tabloid junk. I really enjoyed this book. It was clear and very objective.

Great Book!

It was a very good book! I do have to warn those nasty people who are jealous of Meghan's beauty and success prior to her marriage into the royal family, You won't like this book! It won't feed your hate! As it doesn't spew any of the lies you people love. If it's a racist, anti Meghan book full of lies, you people want, this book is not it. They should write a historical book telling in detail exactly how the Royal family got it's wealth. I know there are many Central, South American Countries, as well as African Countries and Asian Countries that would love to have the gold and precious stones the British took from them throughout the Centuries. Yet you people attack a beautiful young girl instead of an institution that has gone throughout the world, taking wealth and natural resources from every country.

GREAT!

So glad to read a more objective view. A view that makes more sense than the crazy things we hear from the tabloids!

Loved this book

It was nice to get the other side of the story from a trusted source, after being barraged with lies via gossip columnists for the last few years. I’m also proud of this couples decision to regain control of their lives.

Really enjoyed it!

I really enjoyed all I learned and insight into little things. I don’t understand the bad reviews! It is a compassionate perspective,which is so different from tabloid and online stories which are often so negative and fictional. My heart goes out to both of them. I don’t need to hear bad stuff about them. It entertained me. I am glad to know the ending too where they can have some peace from the constant negative attention.

Let The Truth Set Them Free!

👍🏼Great book a must buy! This book will clarify many of the misconceptions about the couple. You can't base your knowledge in the checkout line at the grocery store or reading click bait articles by unknown sources so buy this book and put all your doubts to rest! 👍🏼

Propaganda pure and simple

This book told from the view of the Suxxes is so one-sided as to be laughable. According to the author, Megan Markle is nothing less than Mother Teresa and Prince Harry only second to the Pope himself. A more balanced view would have been appreciated.

boring as hell

boring is all I can say. nothing new and nothing new that we don't already know. poor little prince and princess

Love it!

I just love to hear this insight to the young couple’s lives. God bless all. Thanks.
