INSTANT INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER * NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER * ONE OF THE TOP 10 BEST-SELLING ROYAL BIOGRAPHIES OF ALL TIME
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.

Customer Reviews
Rubbish
Complete and utter disservice to the monarchy
Rubbish don’t buy
You can’t truster or him don’t buy it
Sounds like a book of excuses
Whilst I’m a fan of Harry and accepting of Meghan, the way this book is written makes it feel that they are trying to get over their side of the story.
It feels that they are making excuses for people and things that haven’t gone their way when really they just need to ignore the press and people’s opinions.
Harry wanted out of the Royals and their lifestyle a long time ago, may be because of how his poor mothers life ended. It’s not Meghan fault and she has supported what he has wanted to do.
But this book is pointless and I can’t believe I’ve wasted by hard earned money on it.
