The highly-anticipated book Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of A Modern Royal Family, by longtime royal reporters Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie, is out today.

According to the book, Harry’s childhood friend Tom “Skippy” Inskip confronted Harry in April 2017, saying he believed Harry was “rushing into things” with Meghan and advising him to “be careful.” Harry was reportedly hurt by his friend’s words and the two didn’t speak for a long time.

Although Skippy was invited to Harry and Meghan’s wedding ceremony and their official afternoon reception, he was purposefully left off the list for the star-studded evening wedding party, according to the book.

Finding Freedom states that when Harry and Meghan began working out the details of their plan to step back as senior royals, they hired an outside PR and design team to help them set up a new official website because they were afraid the information would leak if they involved anyone from the palace press teams.

According to Finding Freedom, it wasn’t so much Harry and Meghan’s deciding on their own to announce their desire to step back from their roles as senior royals that blindsided the family, but their decision to simultaneously launch their website “which laid out the details of their new half-in-half-out model as if it were a done deal.”.

According to Finding Freedom, Meghan and sister-in-law Kate are “not the best of friends” but also “not at war with each other,” and that their relationship “had struggled to move past the distant politeness of when they first met.”.

Anecdotally, Finding Freedom also states that the infamous tabloid story about Meghan making Kate cry during Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress fitting before the wedding is untrue.

According to the book, the photographer was “promptly tossed out of the resort, but not before capturing the couple in a steamy embrace on their private balcony,” as well as Harry and Meghan in their swimsuits.

According to Finding Freedom, the couple shared the happy news with the members of the royal family three days earlier — at the wedding of Harry’s cousin, Princess Eugenie, to Jack Brooksbank.

According to Finding Freedom, when Archie was born, Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland texted her ex-husband to tell him the news.

According to the book, Meghan was reportedly unable to set up a time to visit Buckingham Palace with her NYC-based hairstylist so they could do a trial of her wedding day hair with the tiara she’d be wearing

Finding Freedom states that after weeks of no response from the palace, Harry had a heated confrontation with Angela Kelly, the Queen’s personal assistant and wardrobe/jewelry curator, and accused her of “purposefully ignoring Meghan.” He reportedly had to speak to his grandmother in order to set up a time for Meghan to try out the tiara

While it’s also been reported that the adults members of the royal family don’t exchange expensive gifts, Finding Freedom provides some more detail as to the sorts of presents that have been gifted between the royals
