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.

Reviews for Finding Freedom

[Marta Em · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This just reads as a compilation of all of the gossip written about them + reactions and commentaries were added to them. Meh.

[Mandy Simpson · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

This book is full of comparisons between the brothers, the Duchess of Cambridge and Meghan and other members of the Royal Family. I imagine children in a playground squabbling over how many more sweets one had over the other. It seems that Harry and Meghan hold a lot of jealousy and resentment towards the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge. Shame.

[Hansa · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Finding freedom? More like shunning our responsibilities of doing the hard work that comes with being royal and running to live a glamorous life for themselves where they can talk into a mic or do some filming for Spotify and netflix lol. Meghan didn't realise being a royal is hard work and finding freedom to run away from it actually . Just didn't like it.

What an inspiring and yet sad story! I am grateful for the influence this book has had in my life.
