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.

Customer Reviews
A peek behind the curtain
Personally, I have ambivalent feelings about the royal family… at best they’re a historical relic. But the ugly machinations of aids and courtiers shore the more things change the more they stay the same. Truly sad how a family “ordained by God” has the least free will of all of us. Nobody is either truly good or bad but the ugliness perpetuated in the name of this family redefines the definition of dysfunctional. Yes, Harry grew up damaged and rich and yes Meghan worked hard for what she had and I think it’s terrible how this couple has been treated. Thank you Omid and others like you who pull back the curtain to let the world glimpse the ugly on both sides.
SPOILED RICH BRATS
Simply a spoiled rich family, who are crying about all the privilege and special perks they had received, but now they have buyers remorse. Boo-hoo, we do not care about your minor problems. Grow up and try and act like mature adults.
Drivel
A silly book about thin-skinned rich people.
