Meghan Markle and Prince Harry book tells the ‘definitive’ story of them as modern royals – & it’s already a bestseller

THE authors of a new book on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry say it’ll tell the “definitive story” of the couple’s lives and aims to discover the truth.

Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of A Modern Royal Family has been written by royal reporters Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, with “participation of those closest to the couple.”

The 320-page book will be available to buy worldwide on Amazon on August 11, and is already a best-seller on the site. 

Omid, who is a well-known Meghan supporter, and Carolyn, who is Elle’s royal correspondent, said they felt the need to present an accurate version of the couple’s lives. 

An insider told DailyMail.com that Meghan told friends that if Kate Middleton was being constantly criticised, the royal family would have stepped in to change its media policies. 

This comes as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have stepped down as senior royals and relocated to LA, where they are self-isolating with baby Archie. 

The description says it will offer an “honest, up-close, and disarming portrait” of the “confident, influential, forward” Prince Harry, 35, and Meghan Markle, 38.

It adds that “few know the true story” of the couple, and the book will go “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”.

The authors said: “The aim of this book is to portray the real Harry and Meghan, a couple who continue to inspire many around the world through their humanitarian and charitable work but are often inaccurately portrayed.

“Our mission has been motivated by a desire to tell an accurate version of their journey and finally present the truth of misreported stories that have become gospel simply because of the amount of times they have been repeated.”

Although the Mail on Sunday claims that Omid and Carolyn interviewed the Sussexes before they moved to America, the book is not an officially endorsed biography from the couple. 

It doesn’t claim to feature interviews with Harry and Meghan, although Omid is known to be very close to the duke and duchess. 

He was invited to by one of three journalists who attended Meghan’s last engagements as a royal and wrote a candid piece of the duchess having a tearful goodbye with staff. 

The front cover shows a beaming Prince Harry and Meghan as they visited their namesake county Sussex in October 2018. 


Those close to the Queen are now understood to be worried about what Harry and Meghan might have divulged, the newspaper reports.

The book was started as cracks began to emerge between Meghan and the rest of the royal family in the lead-up to her wedding in May 2018.

Friends of the ex-actress are said to have contacted the authors to set the record straight, with the biography then delayed when Harry and Meghan quit the firm.

Now the family fear further upset as the biography will explore the open wounds left in the wake of Megxit – including the Queen's hurt at the decision and Prince Charles' fury.

We shared how Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been eying up £10million LA mansion with ‘granny annexe’ flat for mum Doria.

Since moving from Canada to the US, the couple have been renting a home close to Sir Elton John.

They have been spotted walking their dog in LA while wearing protective facemasks.
