Critics now wonder if Prince Harry would be happy with Mr. Scobie and Carolyn Durand for authoring this book. After all, many now see it as nothing more than “Sussex Apologetics.” This is especially true if Scobie and Durand felt they had to insult Queen Elizabeth and the entirety of The Firm to defend Meghan Markle.
Meghan And Prince Harry “Victimized” By Buckingham Palace
Evidently, in Omid Scobie’s view, Buckingham Palace was out to get Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. It was all about systemic racism as, “They (Harry and Meghan) were victims to many many leaks time and time again, and stories that were often twisted to make great headlines by those within the institution with other agendas.”
Of course, by “other agendas,” Mr. Scobie hinted at racist attitudes amongst the British staffers who were assigned to help (especially) Meghan Markle during her time as a senior working Royal.
However, Mr. Scobie and Ms. Durand don’t limit themselves to subtle jabs about racist attitudes toward Meghan Markle amongst palace staff. No, the co-authors also raised charges of sexism, suggesting that the many reports of a strained relationship between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle were, “feeding into sexist stereotypes.”
Despite these charges, “Finding Freedom” says that there was “no ill will” between the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex.
Tell All Book On Prince Harry Panned
Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand set out to write a book that provides “insight into their lives (Prince Harry and Meghan Markle), their work, and their decision to step away from royal life, following interviews with over 100 royal insiders.”
Whatever their motives may have been, the tell-all book about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry is getting panned. In fact, an article in Forbes called the tome “escapist monarchical fluff.” Fans of the British Royal family left horrific feedback on “Finding Freedom’s” U.K. Amazon page as well.
For example, one person who bought the book wrote that “Finding Freedom” is a “Biographical autobiography written in the style of Mills & Boon. Sugary love triumphs over adversity story that will be loved by people who love the woke couple and laughed at by the rest. The good: It won’t take you long to read. The bad: It won’t take you long to read.”
Another said, “Given the amount of personal detail about what Harry and Meghan were thinking during certain events you would assume that this book had been written by, or heavily influenced by, Harry and Meghan. However, as they now deny this, the reader can only assume a good proportion of it is made up.
The book was supposed to present the other side of the story but, in the end, the reader is left with a very poor impression of the couple. As someone else said – this is very much an ‘own goal.’”
Of course, the “bombshell” book about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has a disclaimer. It reads as follows, “This book is based on the authors’ own experiences as members of the royal press corps and their own independent reporting.”
Moreover, Prince Harry and Meghan have made an effort at damage control. In a statement released through a representative, it was made clear that, “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not interviewed and did not contribute to ‘Finding Freedom’.”
