A Matter of Fact Biography

Where Finding Freedom read like a cozy romance with obvious fanfiction elements ( I enjoyed it a lot!) this is more about facts. If you are a fan of Meghan then you probably know everything that is retold in this book but if not then this book is really good at describing Meghan's entire life and showcasing how amazing she was before meeting Harry.

The Crown has shown a new generation how awful the Royal Family is (watch Diana: In Her Own Words if you think its fiction) and after listening to this audiobook it's pretty obvious Meghan is a strong principled woman who refused to break under the pressure of "Duty" and instead of playing the role of quiet dutiful wife became a 2020 avenger that rescued the Prince from a life void of emotion.

I can't wait to see what more they can do, together

A sensitive depiction of a beautiful soul

I will start by admitting I am an admirer of Meghan Markle and have followed her story since she was an actress on Suits. I doubted I would learn much more about her but heard good things about the book. I was pleasantly surprised. We see her commitment since childhood to true kindness and a soul-deep empathy-driven desire to make a positive difference in the world around her. Her self motivated drive pushed her to greatness again and again. Well before she met Harry we see that she was already a leader with a dedication to volunteerism and we listen to her evolution as she learns how to leverage her education and popularity on the screen to become a global spokesperson and make a difference to people needing basics to live such as water or to their ability to go to school or care for themselves and improve their lives. She joined forces with many notable advocates and leaders. Her charisma and yes..beauty is what brought her to the attention of the Prince, but it was their common global outlook and earnest commitment to similar causes that sparked their love. I admire and respect her even more after this book.

Entertaining & Revealing

Enjoyable listen and revealing of who Meghan is and what she gave up to be married to Harry.

The truth finally

The British press was the catalyst into Harry and Meghan leaving. Im happy that Harry decided not Meghan to leave that toxic environment!

Very Insightful

I was impressed with Meghan on how she dealt with all the life issues she experienced.

Life of Meghan from early age till royal duties

I love the book. Very honest, the truth about Meghan. I would recommend it, thanks.

Compelling

The book was compelling, it laid out the events and intent of the British media, which includes the ROTA to diminish Duchess Meghan by way of character assassination.

Meghan's side of her beginnings.

Loved it from beginning to end.
There's always two sides to every story. Thank you Mr. Smith for telling the Meghan's.

An Excellent Read!

This book is really good. It's obvious the author took the time to do extensive research on The Duchess of Sussex and actually spoke to individuals who were part of her life. The book gives excellent details of events that can only come from people who were there. Never at any point did I think I was reading gossip or hearsay. Looking forward to a follow-up addition!! Shout-out to the narrator Jessica Hayles. It was a pleasure listening to you. Much appreciated!

Informational

No hateful agenda against Meghan. Sean wrote the information he found and that’s it, no hidden agenda. I appreciated him naming every single reporter that wrote hateful/biased stories against her exposing their bias and racism.
