The year 2020 started out stormy for the British Royal Family when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to step back from their royal duties, a decision that took them, first, to Canada, and finally to Los Angeles. But despite their desire to live peaceful, normal lives, it seems the couple hasn't escaped the watchful eyes of the press. Many speculations, a lot of them unfounded, came about with their decision to abandon their role as working royals. It seems that their upcoming tell-all book will attempt to set records straight.

Written by Caroline Durrand and Omid Scobie, the book is entitled Finding Freedom: Harry andMeghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family and there is something peculiar about it. While the royal couple are careful not to endorse it as an official biography, they have nevertheless cooperated with the authors in the process of writing. Published by HarperCollins, Finding Freedom is slated for release on May 11.
