Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family
by Omid Scobie, Carolyn Durand
5/5 stars.
I would like to preface this review by making a comment. A lot of the negative reviews I see of this book are from individuals who have never even glimpsed into the pages of “Finding Freedom”. It’s disheartening to see individuals review a book they haven’t read because of the hatred in their hearts towards the two people this biography highlights.
“Finding Freedom”, is an incredibly fair depiction of Meghan and Harry’s story. For the first time the public can really see the royal couples point of view, and it was refreshing. I’m an avid follow of the Royal Family, but I’ve always had a soft spot for Meghan. She’s a biracial women in the Royal Family, who birthed the Queen’s first bi-racial grandchild. These feats are undeniably historical and monumental. As a brown girl, when Meghan became a Duchess and married a Prince, I felt a connection with the Royal Family for the first time ever. I felt heard, seen, and represented. I could relate to Meghan’s encounters with racism and prejudice, but more than anything I felt inspired by her passion and work ethic.
This book was a wonderful depiction of the Royal couple I have grown to love. It was entertaining as well, making me swoon at romantic bits, and even tear up during emotional ones. (like I was reading any other love story or drama). But it was also highly educational and insightful. While this book spooned us enjoyable stories of Meghan and Harry’s relationship, as well as their luxurious and interesting Royal events, it was really informative about the work the Sussex’s do. I’m incredibly excited to see the new adventures the Sussex’s will embark on, as well as witness their upcoming charitable works. Meghan and Harry’s kindness, passion, and focus are qualities I deeply admire in both of them.
A crucial point to make is that this book also doesn’t paint Meghan and Harry out as victims or heros, just human. All sides of situations are presented and addressed, and no body or member of the royal family is villainized, attacked, or blamed for Meghan and Harry’s departure.
“Finding Freedom” additionally also clears up many of the misconceptions and false stories the media circulated about Meghan and Harry. These stories resulted in Meghan and Harry’s deteriorating mental health and happiness and eventual offical depart as senior royals.
My heart is with them and their son Archie as they embark onto the next chapter of their lives, and as for the authors of this book? Omid and Carolyn did a wonderful job highlighting the truth above all. I cannot wait to see their future work as journalists as well.
