The biography of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s lives as frontline royals has been released and gives countless never before seen details about their lives and the break down of their relationship with the Royal Family. Meghan and Harry announced they were stepping down from representing the Queen shortly after they moved to Canada late last year after a breakdown in familial relations and supposed harassment from the media.
Plenty of previously held secrets have been exposed in the biography, which the couple have insisted they did not cooperate with.
The biography alleges that Meghan announced to others that she was pregnant at Eugenie’s wedding in October 2018.
Eugenie was reportedly not best pleased, and the book claims it “did not go down particularly well”.
Princess Eugenie got married to Jack Brooksbank at Windsor in October 2018.
Authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand said in the biography: “A source said [Princess Eugenie] told friends she felt the couple should have waited to share the news”.
Cousins Eugenie and Harry have always shared a close relationship, and the couple would regularly go out together before settling down into married life.
Finding Freedom claimed: “Eugenie who’d long wanted to see her cousin settle down and be happy, told friends she loved Meghan and thought she was ‘just the tonic’ for Harry.”
The biography also claims the two couples regularly met up and shared a good relationship.
The explosive biography has revealed a number of previously unknown tales about the couple’s short time as frontline royals together.
Finding Freedom claims the couple desperately wanted to find their place in the family, rather than leaving it as they did earlier this year.
The book details their unpopularity with courtiers and the worries of the Royal Family, who reportedly did not want the couple to eclipse the rest of the Firm.
The new book also details the decline of their relationship with Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, pinning much of the blame on them for giving their relationship a frosty reception.

The authors also claim the Sussexes felt their complaints were not taken seriously and believed other royal households were leaking stories about them to the press.
Finding Freedom is not an officially endorsed book, but according to the Times, a UK spokesman for the Sussexes has previously said Harry and Meghan were “relaxed” about the authors’ access to their allies.
A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan released a statement ahead of the book’s publication, saying: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not interviewed and did not contribute to Finding Freedom.
“This book is based on the authors’ own experiences as members of the royal press corps and their own independent reporting.”
The authors have lent heavily on contacts in the different royal circles – Buckingham Palace for the Queen, Kensington Palace for William and Kate, ‘the Sussexes’, or those supposedly closest to them, for Harry and Meghan.
The couple have laid relatively low throughout the coronavirus crisis, taking part in some engagements on their behalf for the likes of the UN and others.
They were forced to cancel the launch of their non-profit initiative Archewell, holding off until after the worst of the coronavirus pandemic is over.
