New book claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were frustrated that they didn't get the more critical roles in the Royal Family Just recently, some extracts from the highly anticipated book 'Finding Freedom' have come out. In those extracts, there is a part that says that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were jealous and frustrated. This was because some of the more important and bigger roles in the family were given to Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Some secrets like this will clarify so things that have been happening prior to Harry and Meghan's step down as senior members of the royal family. Others think that unraveling some things about their exit could potentially make their relationship with members of the royal family even worse than it is.
Some extracts were released recently, and it paints the picture that Meghan and Harry weren't too happy that they weren't chosen to take on some of the royal family's bigger and more important projects. Instead, the royal family gave some of those projects to Prince William and Prince Charles.
The book that is supposed to be released, it is written by journalists Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand. Both journalists are proclaimed fans of Harry and Meghan, and with this book, they wanted to shine a light towards then and clear some things out.
Both Harry and Meghan have denied that they had anything to do with the book. They stated that they have never contributed to it.
The writers claim that everything that is in the book has been confirmed or told by close friends to the couple and the royal family.
In the book, it says that Harry and Meghan were up against people who thought that because they are loved so much by so many people all around the world, that they would one day become a more significant talking point and even more loved than the royal family itself.
Because they are so well known and recognized around the world, Scobie has said that Harry and Meghan could have taken the royal family to whole new heights. He has even said that some royal members need to change how they view the world today, saying that some of the people in the family are racist. Another thing that's been mentioned in the extracts that come out is the tearful conversation between Markle and one of her friends.
She has said that from day one, form the moment she was part of the family, she left everything behind and tried to fit in so much. Now she hates the thought of ever again having to do something royal.
It even shows that Harry and Meghan wanted to talk directly with the Queen herself, following the announcement that they wanted to step down from their positions. Rumors were flying around every day. And Harry was so frustrated that at one point, he believed that individual members of the family were denying him from seeing and talking to his grandmother, the Queen.
After spending Christmas in Canada with their son Archie, they wanted to return to the UK and straight away have a serious conversation with the Queen.
Harry was then told that the Queen wasn't going to be available until the 29th of January. They even boarded a plane that would take them to Sandringham instead of Heathrow.
Harry was worried that some members of the royal family were 'out to get them.' Because they thought that Harry and Meghan's popularity would outshine the one that the Royal family got. The family member that has revealed this detail named those senior members "the vipers," the ones that got in the way of Harry and Meghan's success.
Also, in the book, you can find out that the main reason that family members were mad at Harry and Meghan is that they weren't informed of the decision the couple made. The family was shocked that Harry and Meghan spoke publicly about their step down as senior members, and not consult or even mention something like that.
Harry also felt that there was no other choice at that time. He also felt that many family members didn't like Meghan at all, and would do things just to make her life more difficult. The only time Harry and Meghan were approached by some other members of the family was when they wanted to use their popularity to get something done. It has also been said that after Harry and Meghan published their statement that they were going to step down as senior members, the Queen invited and gathered the whole family in the Norfolk house, in order to set things straight with everyone.
Meetings like that carried on for a while. Harry, in all of them, felt like he was accused and blamed for everything. It has been rumored that the book, when it comes out, will show just how much resentment Harry and Meghan felt while they were still working royals.
The book will also showcase the relationship between the two couples, Harry and Meghan, and William and Kate, which at one point were dubbed as the future of the monarchy. When the Commonwealth service at Westminster Abbey was held, the two couple barely spoke to each other, despite not seeing each other for months.
The authors claim that Meghan tried to make some eye contact and tried to start up a conversation with Kate, but she didn't even acknowledge her.
It has been rumored that the relationship between Meghan and Kate was never good, even since Meghan became part of the family. The claim that there has been one occasion where you could definitely see that they weren't happy about each other's presence.
That occasion was a charity polo match, and you could see Meghan and Kate sitting next to each other with their children, but they hardly even said a word to each other the whole game. Scobie and Durand also say that since they got married, Meghan and Harry always wanted to control their future. They even claim that the choice of walking away from their royal duties was Harry's idea. We all know what Meghan went through, even seconds after they made their statement public. The claim that Harry wanted to live away from the eyes of the media and not Meghan.
One source that had a hand in making the book said that for a long time, Harry wanted out. Meghan was just there to support his wish and help him along the way. A spokesman for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stated that neither of them had involvement with the book. They also didn't deny anything said in the extracts that have come out. Some people had come out and said that Harry and his brother William had tensions even before Harry met Meghan in 2016.
The source that claims that the brothers had tensions for a long time also said that they weren't mad at each other but rather competing over the leadership of various issues. Harry, before meeting Meghan, felt that everywhere he went with William and Kate felt like he was a plus one, someone that just came for the ride. Even before he met Meghan, Harry wanted some things in the monarchy to change.
He would ask questions why wouldn't the family leave out the media. They would replace the press, with going on social media and post pictures and videos. It has been said that the tensions became worse when William took Harry aside and asked him if marrying Meghan was the right choice.
Buckingham Palace is worried that with the release of the book, all hope will be lost for Meghan and Harry to fix the relationships with some family members. The authors of the book say that they haven't sat down with the couple regarding the book. But they have spoken to people that are close to the couple and the family. Recently Harry and Meghan have filled a lawsuit against some unnamed photographers who tried illegally to take some pictures of their son Archie.
It has been said that photographers were using drones to capture Harry and Meghan's son's pictures. It all happened at their home in Los Angeles. The couple has been living there since the beginning of March.
Harry and Meghan have said that they just want to protect their 14-month old son. Seeing paparazzi flying with helicopters over their home and sometimes poking holes in the fence just to take some pictures. They have also accused some journalists of putting false captions on their stories. Making it look like their son, who has been photographed in the back garden, is in some public place.
The attorney of the couple has said that the couple wants to protect their child's privacy. Harry, Meghan, and their son, since March, have been living in an 18-million-dollar mansion, which is owned by producer Tylor Perry. The mansion is located in the exclusive area of Beverly Ridge in Los Angeles. They have taken serious measures to ensure their son's privacy and have erected a big fence around the property. The thing that they can stop is people flying drones above the mansion, which occurs almost three times a day.
Not just drones, some people have also been flying above their house with helicopters. The couple says that helicopters will fly over their house pretty early in the morning, right around 5:30 am. This would bother not just Harry and Meghan but their neighbors as well. Michael Kump, who is the lawyer of Harry and Meghan, has said that there is a law that provides full privacy when you are in your home.
When you fly drones and helicopters above someone's home that is considered breaking the law. The couple has said that they know that they will be followed and photographed when they go out in public, but certain paparazzi have taken things too far. Harry and Meghan have accused certain paparazzi of intimidation and harassment, plus not to mention the security threat. Kump has said that he knows the pictures of their son cost very much, but some photographers and news outlets have crossed the line, and now they are going to be sued.
The couple's lawyer has said that they don't want some special treatment, they just want to have their privacy in their LA home. For a while now, Harry and Meghan have avoided been in the limelight and have done that pretty well. They say that their whole attention now is their son and the charity work they do.
The photographer that Meghan and Harry have issued a lawsuit is claiming that the photos he took of their son were made in a public place. But Meghan and Harry deny going out in public places with their son. They are trying to say that he is looking for ways to hide the fact that he took unsolicited photos of a child in his private home, which in California is unlawful.
Because a photo of their son is pretty expensive and could go for thousands of dollars. Harry and Meghan are trying to reduce the price by posting many photos of him on their social media. For now, the couple doesn't know who has taken the picture, which means that they can go after anyone who is selling the photos. Since the death of Harry's mother, Princess Diana, he has been blaming press intrusion for her death.
And last year, he spoke about how media in the UK have been doing the same thing to Meghan. Princess Diana died in a car crashed that was caused while her driver was trying to escape from paparazzi that were following her car. After Harry and Meghan decided to step down as senior member, Buckingham Palace has issued a statement that said that Harry and Meghan have faced so many challenges with the press since they got married back in 2018.
At the beginning of this year, Harry and Meghan announced that they will cut all ties with the big UK media outlets and newspapers. Instead, they wanted to work and talk to more up-and-coming outlets and journalists. They were highly criticized by the royal family and some other big outlets about this move. Also, at the beginning of this year, in January, Harry and Meghan shocked the royal family and the world by announcing that they were going to step down as senior members of the royal family.
Their first move independently was moving to Canada, but shortly after, they went to Los Angeles, and now they are living there, during this global pandemic. Royal experts have been saying that the couple doesn't actually want a full private life. They just moved away to have more time for the things they are passionate about. They didn't have much control when they were on royal duty, so now they have all the time in the world to make their schedule.
Victoria Murphy, who is a royal expert, has said that Harry and Meghan now have the luxury of controlling their time. They are finally allowed to do what they love most. They can also say who will get access to them and who they talk to. Since moving to Los Angeles, the couple has been spotted a couple of times in public.
A close friend has said that Harry and Meghan have started to feel cooped up in their home and want to go somewhere for Meghan's birthday. Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, has also moved in with them in Los Angeles, where she will be helping out with their son Archie. It is reported that Meghan wants her mother to be close because she now doesn't trust many people, other than some close family and friends. Doria has supported the decision of Harry and Meghan since they have announced it in January.
The day that they came out publicly and told the world that they were stepping down from their positions in the royal family, almost everyone was caught by surprise. Only a handful of people knew about the choice they were going to make, and one of them was Meghan's mother. She has been on her side from the beginning and has previously been worried about her daughter's mental and physical health. The close friend of the couple has also said that Doria has always told Meghan to believe in what she can and should do, so she will always have her support.
The extracts that a couple of newspapers have published recently say that in March, a couple of months after the announcement of their stepping down as senior members of the royal family. She was willing to do whatever it takes to avoid stepping down. But ultimately, Harry had the final say, and he was the main driving force of their decision.
The biography named 'Finding Freedom: Harry, Meghan and the making of a Modern Monarchy' is written by two journalists Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand. They are considered fans of the royal family and massive supporters of Meghan and Harry. It is due to be published next month, and whilst Harry and Meghan haven't participated during the wiring of the book, the writes say that close friends to the couple and the royal family participated in the making of the book. People who contributed to the book say that Meghan and Harry were left last when choosing the people for the bigger and important roles.
They felt frustrated because William and Kate were picked ahead of them for the roles. They say that the couple has argued with senior members of the family about some future plans of the family. The elder members of the family were always placing the service to the crown before everything else, and Harry and Meghan didn't like that.
Some say that so much will be revealed whit this book being published, and finally, so many people will understand the decision that Harry and Meghan were forced to do. Since Harry and Meghan got married back in 2018, people deemed them as the future of the royal family. Their popularity skyrocketed, and with that, the popularity of the royal family increased.
After the wedding, the couple felt like they didn't get the support they needed in their future lives. In the book, you will also see that because of the couple, the royal family is widely more popular now, and they didn't get any credit for that. According to a certain section in the book, when the couple announced they were leaving, the Queen was shocked.
The Queen felt hurt by the decision they made, plus the fact that they didn't discuss anything with her. In the book, you will see that, even before Harry knew Meghan, he and his brother William had some tensions. They were always competing over leadership roles. When William and Kate appeared at a social gathering or public events, Harry always felt like he is the plus one, or the one that is just there because he has to go.
He wanted to change some things in the monarchy. He wanted to post photos and videos on social media, interact with the public online, and cut off the press completely. When Meghan came into the picture, she only supported the idea that Harry had, and she always got his back. Tensions between the brothers were rumored to have gotten worse when William asked Harry is he was sure of marrying Meghan.
Buckingham Palace is fearing that when the book comes out, any hope that Harry will fix his relationship with certain members of the royal family will be gone. A spokesman for Harry and Meghan has come out and said that the couple has nothing to do with the book, and haven't contributed in any form.
The whole book is written by the author's experience and the ability to find out things via different sources.
