‘Finding Freedom’ Illuminates Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Abysmal Desertion Of The Royal Family

If the excerpts from Finding Freedom are any indication, it will be the must-have summer book. But not for the reason Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would want it to be. Apparently they see it as a declaration of their true selves, the real story behind the headlines.

But Finding Freedom has none of the gravitas that one expects they likely anticipated. Instead, it reads like the wailings and whinings of a couple who don’t get that they are adults and the world doesn’t revolve around them.

Take for instance the allegation that Harry was so miffed he couldn’t have instant access to his grandmother to discuss his long-term travel plans aka Megxit that he considered breaching her space and demanding to be heard.

Yes, like an infant would do. The Queen does have a few things on her plate at any one moment, and who among us hasn’t had to wait for mom or dad or grandma to finish a call or wrap up a bit of business before we interrupt?

Is it entitlement or immaturity that would provoke Harry to just bust in on his grandma while she’s trying to do her job? Or maybe a bit of both? Couldn’t he wait a few minutes, an hour, even a day to tell the longest-serving monarch in history what’s rattling around in that brain of his?

Finding Freedom is said to explore the hurt feelings that caused Harry and Meghan to go take a sledgehammer to a tradition that had been in effect for centuries

The first excerpt of Finding Freedom was published Saturday in the Times of London. The general gist so far appears to be a listing of grievances from a pair of adolescents who think their elders and even their peers don’t pay them the proper respect.

Writers Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand point to a low point during the Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey in March in which the two brothers and their wives barely spoke.

“Although Meghan tried to make eye contact with Kate, the duchess barely acknowledged her,” reads the excerpt.

Forgive me but did I get the genre wrong, is this a Young Adult book? Because the tone is one of catty indignation and the quotes so far indicate a very small-minded view of a very large and complex royal world.

But Scobie supports such pettiness by defending Meghan saying that to, “purposefully snub your sister-in-law or your brother or brother-in-law in Kate’s case . . . I don’t think it left a great taste in the couple’s mouths.” Mature adults would have talked about any misunderstanding or hurt feelings out. Poorly behaved children handle not getting their way by engaging in negative behavior and isn’t that what Megxit was all about?
