Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's upcoming biography, Finding Freedom, will delve into the private details of their royal exit. But a group of talk show hosts said this book, which will be released in August, is a "money spinner."
The panelists in the talk show Loose Women wondered if Meghan and Prince Harry consented to the tell-all book for cash. Host Linda Robson asked where the money from the sales will go, considering it's already a bestseller at Amazon's pre-order list.
"You get a lot of money for these biographies don't you? Where's the money going?" Robson remarked.
The book is written by royal journalists Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand with the expressed permission of the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex. In fact, Scobie and Durand were given exclusivity and allowed to shadow the royal couple so that they could write the details of their royal life with accuracy.
The Loose Women panelists also wondered if they should buy Finding Freedom themselves when Meghan and Prince Harry "abandoned the British public" by stepping back from their royal duties and moving to Los Angeles. However, Ruth Langsford said that she's really curious about what's in the book so she will likely buy it no matter how they feel about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's abandonment.
It's been reported that the book will set the record straight on how Prince Harry and Meghan decided to scale back from their royal roles and settle outside of the U.K. A friend of Meghan revealed that she would like to have Finding Freedom published now, instead of the summer, because she would like a clean slate.
Meghan is, reportedly, hoping that the book will shatter her image as a diva who berates royal staff and makes Kate Middleton cry. The Duchess of Sussex believes that the book will make the public understand their reason for leaving the royal spotlight.
"Meghan seems to think that readers will finally understand the monumental anguish and turmoil she had to endure with a stiff upper lip," the friend said. "Meghan said people need to see her vulnerable side, something the book does in great detail."
According to Vanity Fair, the biography might also finally settle what really happened between the Sussex royals and the Cambridge royals. The book will go into great details of the relationship and the rumored feud of Prince Harry and Meghan with Prince William and Kate, who separated their working relationship in early 2019 as the Sussex royals planned a different path.
