Prince Harry was more anxious than Meghan Markle to leave the Royal Family
The first texts of the new biography of the Sussexes - which will go on sale on August 11 - reopen the scars caused by the Megxit
One of the advantages for Queen Elizabeth II of being 94 years old and having almost 70 as monarch, is that, probably, she has already seen almost everything. Believe it or not, but her pragmatism and balanced character have allowed her to overcome all kinds of scandals within her family. This does not mean that the last of them will suppose a new headache. The book "Finding Freedom: Harry, Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family" ("Finding Freedom: Harry, Meghan and the creation of a modern Royal Family"), written by the American journalist Carolyn Durand and the British Omid Scobie , so close to the Sussexes that he is known as "Meghan Markle's spokesperson," will be officially released on August 11, but some fragments published in installments by The Times and The Sunday Times have already been released. If the day is taken out the day before, it will be a bestseller, judging by the love and hatred that the public feels towards the couple, and not only in the United Kingdom.
Despite the monarch's attempt to shelve the Megxit since the Sussexes have been living in Los Angeles for months with their son Archie, who turned one year old in May, the first advances of the book show that the publication will reopen wounds that have not yet had time to heal. In its 368 pages, it "goes beyond the headlines to reveal unknown details of Prince Harry and Meghan's life together, dispelling the many rumors and misconceptions about the couple on both sides of the pond" and explains that it is "an honest portrait , close and disarming of a confident, influential and progressive couple who are not afraid to break with tradition.
The authors describe in it the strong tensions between the Sussexes and other members of the Royal Family, especially William and Catherine of Cambridge. The relationship between Harry and his brother was so deteriorated that for some months they barely spoke, the authors reveal, who say that Catherine "did little to bridge the gap" between the four. They also detail the feeling of abandonment, lack of support and even lack of support that the couple felt, and of course, the suffering from the media pressure they endured and that even led them to a legal battle with several tabloids.
He is very hurt
All this "bitterness and infighting", according to The Times, is what led them to make the decision to put land in the middle and abandon their royal duties. Meghan confesses her frustration with a lapidary phrase: "I gave up my whole life for this family." Harry was devastated by the situation. “He loves the Queen, but his wife is offended and he adores his son. Everyone in Harry is Archie. In addition, the youngest son of Diana of Wales was very hurt when he was labeled "too sensitive" by other members of his family. According to the book, despite all that has been said, it was above all Harry who was anxious to stop being part of the monarchy and its strict rules.
The Sussexes have denied contributing to the post, in which their friends referred to some Palace officials as 'vipers'. "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not interviewed and did not collaborate" on the book, a spokesman for both said in a statement, adding that the statement is based "on the authors' own experiences as part of the royal press, and their independent reports. '
The first reactions have not been long in coming. Jonny Dymond, who covers Royal Family affairs for the BBC, believes that the book says nothing new, and "rather than making particular revelations about who did what to whom and when", what he does is paint a portrait of a couple who have lived in the center of a terrible whirlwind. The Telegraph newspaper was very critical, saying that probably those who "found their freedom" (in reference to the title of the book) with the departure of the Sussexes, are the others: "It is a book that only serves to remind the public that the Royals that fly too close to the sun quickly lose their shine.
