Prince Harry, Meghan Markle found leaving royal life much 'harder' than expected: author

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's exit from their royal roles was reportedly much "harder" than the two expected, according to royal author Omid Scobie. The writer delves into the couple's decision in the upcoming biography "Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family."

"The hardest part for them was taking those initial steps away from their royal roles," royal author Omid Scobie told People magazine in an interview published Thursday. "That was harder than they would ever imagined." Scobie, alongside royal reporter Carolyn Durand, wrote "Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family." The biography focuses on the married lives of Prince Harry and Markle. The book was written with Markle's contribution of a third-party source.
