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.

Loved this first hand account

It was nice to hear another perspective of what Harry and Meghan have gone thru. Their story of finding each other is so beautiful and one that I someday hope to experience. I am so inspired at how they made the difficult decision together to do what was right for them and their lives. Yes they may have sacrificed their duties to the monarch, but it was well worth it to have the peace that they longed for. Isn't that what we all want? No amount of money will ever bring you happiness because happiness cannot be purchased. It's what's inside you and this can only be achieved by reaching a level of peace. I wish them well and Godspeed. I hope one day that our paths will cross working on mutually important causes.

Respect the truth

It was wonderful to tear back the untruths and find two young gems, just trying to shine in a way that is true to them.

Very interesting, captivating, and well read

I honestly have not followed the story of Harry and Meghan beyond watching their wedding live - so hearing the book was spectacular. I normally see through garbage but I truly felt this book properly captured what the couple went through. I didn’t feel there was any filler or garbage in here. I would like to believe most of it is truth. I highly recommend it. They’ve won me over for sure!

Interesting

Kind of a mixed story. Not sure how I felt about it when I was done. Guess it is because their is more story to come from this couple yet ! Parts were very interesting - other parts was pretty much from the news !

Aspirational, detailed, and well researched

This book was amazing. Omid’s voice is lovely, just like on Heir Pod. The book was so well researched I felt like I had such a clear picture of the events in this book or at least the vibe. I missed so much of this narrative in the media, and this book truly helped me fill in the gaps on Meghan’s time as a Royal for me. I hope you write more books about the Royals and some narratives we need the other side of.
