Prince Harry, the younger son of Prince Charles and sixth in line of succession to the British throne, stunned the world in January by announcing that he and his wife, Meghan Merkel, were stepping back from their duties as senior royals and would chart an independent financial course by dividing their time between the UK and the US.

Questions flew thick and fast with very few authentic answers and now a new book, "Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family" by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand due later this year, promises the answers and more.

HarperCollins has announced it has acquired the world rights for the book.

As had happened in the 1980s with Harry's mother, Princess Diana and Prince Charles, when news of the budding romance between a beloved English prince and an American actress broke, it captured the world's attention and sparked an international media frenzy. But while the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have continued to make headlines-from their engagement, wedding, and birth of their son Archie to their unprecedented decision to step back from their royal lives - few know the true story of Harry and Meghan.

To that extent, "Finding Freedom" goes beyond the headlines to reveal unknown details of Harry and Meghan's life together, dispelling the many rumours and misconceptions that plague the couple on both sides of the pond.


"With unique access and written with the participation of those closest to the couple, 'Finding Freedom' is an honest, up-close, and disarming portrait of a confident, influential, and forward-thinking couple who are unafraid to break with tradition, determined to create a new path away from the spotlight, and dedicated to building a
humanitarian legacy that will make a profound difference in the world," HarperCollins statement said.
