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 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: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family" is a book written by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand that details the life of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, from their initial relationship to their decision to step away from the British royal family.

The book begins with a prologue that references one of the most tragic moments in the history of the British royal family: the death of Princess Diana.

According to the authors, the British media was relentless in their coverage of Meghan, criticizing her for everything from her clothing to her family. The authors argue that much of the negative coverage was motivated by racism and xenophobia, and that Meghan was treated very differently than Kate Middleton, William's wife.

The book also reveals details about Harry's relationship with his family, including his relationship with his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and his brother, Prince William. According to the authors, Harry has always had a complicated relationship with his older brother, and Harry and Meghan's decision to step away from the British royal family only made things worse.

As the book progresses, the authors explore Harry and Meghan's decision to resign from their royal duties and their role as senior members of the royal family. According to the authors, the couple felt trapped by royal protocol and the lack of freedom that came with their role. They also felt frustrated by the lack of support from the British royal family and the negative media coverage.

The book also addresses tensions between Harry and William, and how Harry's decision to leave his role in the British royal family affected their relationship. According to the authors, Harry and William have had a tense relationship for several years, and Harry's decision to step away from the British royal family only made things worse. However, the book also suggests that there is hope for the brothers' relationship to improve over time.

Overall, "Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family" is a fascinating book that offers a detailed look at the life of one of the world's most famous couples. The authors have done an excellent job researching and detailing Harry and Meghan's life, from their initial relationship to their decision to step away from the British royal family.
