This is a happy ending that begins when the prince drops his title. The negotiations for Brexit deal are being ironed out. “Megxit” is over and is so far a success. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have repaid $2.4 million to British taxpayers, which was spent on the renovation of Frogmore Cottage. They have bought a $14.7 million seaside home in California. And, like everything that spells the perfect career for the famous, they have signed a deal with Netflix to produce content like the Obamas.
Finding Freedom offers a glimpse into why this might just be the ever-after they dreamt of. It is a breathless account of the romance that became a worldwide obsession and the marriage that finally led to the couple leaving the royal fold to make a living as commoners.
“Few things remain secret between royal households,” write Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie. There are a few that spill like the inside story of Meghan wanting a different tiara to wear on her wedding day that made news.
Meghan did not have only to contend with the in-laws in a family that can only rival an Indian one—in terms of its expectations—but also the “forces within Buckingham Palace”. Little incidents had built up, convincing Harry that they would never be happy in the palace. Their story has just the right amount of family drama to make the book a compelling read.
