ACCORDING TO THE NEW MEGHAN AND HARRY BIOGRAPHY, THE PRINCE WAS "DEEPLY UNHAPPY FOR A LONG TIME AGO"
'Finding Freedom', the authorized biography of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, claims that Meghan and Harry "discussed" leaving the royal family before even getting married.
Even the name 'Megxit' implies that the departure of the Dukes of Sussex from royal life was a decision largely instigated by Meghan. But the couple's next authorized biography, Finding Freedom: Harry, Meghan, and Making of a Modern Royal Family, tells a rather different story, posing the decision as part of Harry's unhappiness as a royal.
MailOnline cites 'sources' revealing that the duke's book "discussed the 'Megxit' before getting married", because Harry was "deeply unhappy for a long time."
The book has been described as "the true story of Harry and Meghan", and made with "unique access and written with the participation of the people closest to the couple." Journalist Omid Scobie (one of the two authors of the biography) recently said on his podcast The Heir Pod: "This project started about two years ago, and there have been twists and turns that nobody expected ... I don't even think Harry and Meghan, who on her own wrestled with the reality of the situation, expected things to turn out as they did. "
Explaining the process behind the creation of the biography, Scobie continued: "I have been in and around as many commitments as I have been able, and I have talked to so many people in their lives that I have not left a stone unturned ... I have seen the couple remain true to their own beliefs and stand firm in the face of adversity that has been publicly manifested in the press, and I would like to think that this tells the ultimate version of their life together. ''
The Mail on Sunday reported that the couple gave an interview to Scobie and his co-author, Carolyn Durand, prior to their departure for the United States, making comparisons with the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and Andrew Morton's biography, Diana: Her True history. People close to Meghan were said to have been encouraged to help Scobie and Durand, as Harry's mother encouraged her friends to collaborate with Morton. The MailOnline also said that part of the environment close to the royal family is concerned that the biography is "a showdown."
Although the Duke and Duchess of Sussex currently keep something low-key at their $ 18 million mansion in Los Angeles, where they have reportedly been preparing on how best to support the Black Lives Matter movement, Finding Freedom certainly It will cause quite a stir when it is released later this summer.
