Entitled ‘Finding Freedom’, the work describes the departure of the Duke and Duchess as a work royalty and moved to North America. It was written by Royal Experts Omid Scooby and Caroline Durand.
They allege that Harry and Meghan were dissatisfied with the selection of pictures they had on the Queen’s desk during her 2019 Christmas broadcast.
On this occasion, the king placed four family pictures on the desk behind him.
They portrayed the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, and the father of King George VI.
But none of them showed up to the Duke or Duchess of Sussex or their newborn son Archie.

The authors write: “Harry felt as if he and Meghan had long since abandoned the organization and were not a fundamental part of his future.
“No one needs to see anything but family photos during the Queen’s speech on Christmas day.
“In the Green Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace, where the Queen gave her address, visitors showed a glimpse of a black and white portrait of Cambridge and their children Charles and Camilla, Prince Philip and King George VI, the sovereign father.
“Notable was a picture of Harry, Meghan and their new baby Archie.

“Palace sources insisted that the pictures were chosen to represent a straight line of inheritance, but for Harry and Meghan it was another sign that they needed to consider their own path.”
Harry and Meghan announced their intention to become senior members of the Royal Family in January this year.
The couple said they wanted to be “financially independent” while sharing their time between Britain and North America.
After negotiations with senior royals, they agreed to drop their ‘Sussex Royale’ brand and repay taxpayers’ money spent on rebuilding their property Frogmore Cottage near Windsor.
