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.

Ratings and reviews

I couldn't be more happy for both of them now that they are living happily in the United States, FREE from the vicious UK tabloids and the vipers and racists like *Lady* Colin Cambpell and others at Buckingham Palace who were determined to bring Meghan down from Day One with their relentless barrage of lies and fabrications, while she couldn't defend herself against all the hate, even if Harry did his best to protect her. Her detractors are vile and ugly excuses for human beings. I am so grateful for the two authors who have set the record straight. Thank you!!

Don't know why I wasted time reading about any of the royals but especially disgusting Markle and their ugly kid. Diana was the last one worthy of anything. Go back to the UK, we don't want you either. Well..maybe California does but the rest of the US doesn't want California either.

this book is like a machine gun, shooting bile and hatred in every direction but the objects of it, he ex royals, never go into self analysing that they could be at least part of the problem. there's something off when you are always right and every one else is wrong.
