About this listen

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.

Boring, disappointing and very one sided.
Don’t waste your time or money on this one.

Disappointing

I was surprised the writer/narrator has got the year of Princess Diana’s death wrong. It was 1997 and not 1996 as stated. The beginning is a bit boring but the good thing is you can fast forward to later chapters. Sounds a bit tacky in places and there are grammatical errors in the narration. I am glad I didn't pay for it.

Not bad but could have been better - a little dull

I really wanted this to be good...but it wasn't. It didn't feel objective and the only person who came off looking unnaturally good was the Duchess of Sussex. She seemed more saintly than human and the whole narrative felt fake and unrelatable. Maybe it was written for the American market?

Also, did the authors/Sussex's get paid for brand placement? Every five minutes the book was naming a clothing designer, restaurant or hotel group. More power to then, as I haven't seen that done in publishing yet, but it was rather tedious and I am not sure how it advanced the story.

A really compelling account of the reality of the press intrusion and the Firm issues of being in the Royal Family. Fully understand the issues now and refuse to believe anything I read in the press!

Helped me understand the British press issues
