Omid Scobie, one of the authors of the bombshell book “Finding Freedom,” spoke out this week to say that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are now “operating” in a way they have been “desperate to for some time” after being “held back by tradition and hierarchy” in the royal family.
While appearing on the podcast Heirpod [1], Scobie said that Harry and Meghan have been “thriving” and had “taken their careers as philanthropists to a whole other level” since they stepped down as senior royals back in March.
“It shows how much they were held back by tradition, hierarchy and stubbornness within the institution,” he said, adding that the couple is “absolutely happy” at this time.
“This is the couple operating in a way they were desperate to for some time but couldn’t for a number of reasons, many of which tie into what is considered too politically sensitive or not,” Scobie said.
The royal biographer was asked, “If The Firm is so experienced of working with powerful world leaders, why couldn’t they handle working with Meghan?”
“There is no more pragmatic a family than the royal family and I think they are capable of having positive and healthy relationships with anyone,” Scobie replied. “As we’ve seen, this wasn’t necessarily about the relationships between the royal family members and Meghan, it was about the institution of monarchy and how they supported Meghan.”
“Had Meghan of come in and done everything by the book, rather than ever come up with her own ideas, or challenge a way of working, or bring in her own ideals than it may have been very different,” he continued. “But that is not what we can realistically expect from a human being.”
“Harry loved her dynamism, it’s what made her so exciting to be a team mate with,” Scobie explained. “It was that, and the things that we often celebrate about Meghan internally just didn’t fit in with the way things were done in the institution.”
‘Rather than anyone trying to accommodate those differences, it was quickly seen as something very problematic and something many tried to extinguish through leaking stories to the press and making the couple’s lives difficult internally,” he said. “It’s why now we see them thrive now in a way we haven’t seen in a long time. I mean how much have they achieved in a short period of time since leaving the royal family?”
Scobie then said that Harry and Meghan are loving their new life in America.
“You only need to look at the work they are doing and how vocal they’ve been about things that are so important to them,” he said.
