The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s new chapter revealed

Anew edition of Finding Freedom, a biography of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will include an epilogue in which Prince Harry and his wife Meghan’s heartbreak over the death of the Duke of Edinburgh will be documented.

The book, written by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand and released in August last year, chronicled the couple’s romance and time as working members of the royal family before they moved to the US to create a new life for themselves and their son Archie.

The new epilogue in the paperback edition, to be released on 31 August, will share new details of their lives. According to a press release issued by publisher HarperCollins, it will cover: “Behind the scenes of Harry and Meghan’s groundbreaking interview with Oprah, details behind the couple’s move to California [and] the various philanthropic and business endeavours the Sussexes have been involved with since their move and what’s to come with Archewell Productions.”

The publisher also said it will contain: “The continuous challenges the couple face regarding privacy and the British press [and] the heartbreak the couple felt over Prince Philip’s death,” and it will also detail Meghan’s emotional and healing journey “from losing a child to the birth of their daughter [Lilibet Diana, in June]”.

The news follows the announcement that Harry will release an “intimate” memoir of his own next year with Penguin Random House. In a statement, he promised the book will not be written as the Prince he was born, but the “man I have become”.
