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.

Book lacks balance so it would be good to hear the other side to the story.

This book has done H&M no favours at all. They clearly have had significant input in its contents as there are many extracts of what the couple said and thought and also descriptions of the inside of the palace, frog more and William and Kates house. They have managed to make them self’s look like spoilt, self righteous brats that fail to grasp that the world does not bend at their bidding nor are they as popular as their own selfs believe.

Rubbish

The narration was a little monotone, but not bad to listen to. I thought it would give a different perspective on the awful portrayal of Megan that the media constantly publishes, and while I completely disagree with the way they the media treats her, the book made her out to be perfect without any fault. I’m sure she is lovely, she knows her own mind obviously and there’s nothing wrong with that, but no one is that perfect. Also, felt a little dismissive if William and Kate, but he is the future king, of course he will be more favoured. All in all, and interesting read, but I took it with a ouch of salt.

It’s ok, but probably won’t read again

Awful book. No structure. Jumps from one thing to another. Just a lot of name dropping of nobodies we would have heard of or be the least bit interested in. If this was suppose to endear us to Meghan then it failed miserably. Did the opposite. LA can keep them. Just money making poor me sob story.

Awful book. Boring. Jumps about all over the place

Interesting... Always thought Samantha markle was an evil, jealous step sister.. The time line of the book shows Her aqusations for money.. The press gready for a cheap headline.. That fed on line trolls.. All started the continuous hate.. I find it all rather sad.. I wish them all the best.

Worth listening too..
