Another angle on Harry and Meghan
‘Finding Freedom’ is the title of a book to be published in August and will detail how Prince Harry and his wife Meghan’s estrangement from the British royal family occurred, their heartaches, and the pressures they suffered.
According to excerpts published on Saturday by the Times, Harry sixth in line to the British throne, and Meghan made it known, via their spokesperson, that they have nothing to do with the publication of this book, which draws a somewhat positive portrait of both and will hit bookstores on August 11.
However, their friends did not hesitate to make statements to the authors, journalists Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand.
The book, say that the decision to leave the family came from Harry, 35, when several newspapers began to rage against the actress, 38.
The authors hope their work will allow them to “rectify” the version that was given of this event and insist on the “emotional exhaustion” of the couple, who currently live in Los Angeles with their son Archie, and describe that inside the palace they both felt “alone” and “pressed”.
“They could only count on a handful of people in the palace. They knew that outside that restricted nucleus no information was certain,” the authors say, stating that there were several leaks by the staff at their service, that the friends of the couplw do not hesitate to describe as “vipers”.
The writrs claim that Harry would have emailed Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, telling them that he wished to get away from his royal duties and spend more time abroad. “Fearing some leak,” he did not elaborate and told them that he wanted to speak to them in person.
“Despite several attempts” to arrange a date with the queen in early January, the meeting could not be carried out, which led to the surprising announcement on January 8, which was widely criticized by the British press, especially because the couple he would not have previously warned the queen.
