Finding Freedom author Omid Scobie speaks with V.F. about the road that Harry and Meghan took, from their first date at Soho House to their final events as senior royals earlier this year, and why he still has some hope for the House of Windsor
from the beginning. The writers observed the couple at public and private events and spoke to plenty of friends and insiders, trying to retell the story of how the California girl and Army veteran prince knew they were right for each other.Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family
In some ways I brought that approach to painting a portrait of who Meghan is. When the world was introduced to her, we met her as someone who was already fully formed and pushed into this cookie cutter of what a duchess should be. We were forever trying to hold her to that. As time went by, we got to know who she was, but unfortunately a lot of that was through the pages of the tabloids that were often briefed by other household members within the institution.
Despite being so different, in the early days it really did seem like Meghan could be very successful in the role of a senior royal, even if there were people inside and outside the palace walls who didn’t like her. It makes the whole story seem so tragic. It’s very interesting, because I know that some people—and I get it—think that Harry’s reaction may have been too sensitive, that it was actually William just being a brother, giving advice. When we really look at the buildup to that moment, he already was aware of the words or the comments being made about Meghan behind his back. He had already had friends giving him a similar type of advice.
There’s a moment [before Christmas in 2019] when Harry and Meghan have already made their wishes clear to Charles and the queen, and have suggested that a meeting should take place. There’s a private aide who literally blocks Harry from having this meeting with the queen and his father by throwing out that she’s not available until January 29. That’s when you realize that not everyone has the same agenda.
