Harry and Meghan's lack of protest at 'Finding Freedom' suggests they don't mind hacks, provided they come out well
Readers of new book could be forgiven for thinking rest of monarchy have found their freedom from the Sussexes
ByCamilla Tominey, ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Quote:
Less tell-all and more tell again, royal-watchers have been left feeling considerably short-changed to read so-called insights which have been long reported by the mainstream media the Sussexes have grown to despise.
Some of the quotes attributed to Meghan, including "I gave up my entire life for this family", appear to have been uttered during a hitherto off-the-record moment with chosen journalists including one of the book's authors, Omid Scobie.
By their very nature, off-the-record briefings with members of the royal press pack are meant to remain private.
How curious that, in this particular case, Meghan has seemingly agreed to let this intrusion into her innermost thoughts slide.
The couple have long griped about the use of anonymous sources, yet their lack of protest appears to suggest that they don't actually mind unnamed friends having a quiet word with select hacks, provided they have got something positive to say.
Furthermore, they currently appear equally untroubled by their associates knowingly co-operating with a book which has been published by Rupert Murdoch-owned Harper Collins and his News Corp stable of newspapers, which also includes The Sun, a tabloid they have previously described as "invasive".
