If there’s any news story that has competed with the coronavirus pandemic for attention in 2020, it is the royal saga of Meghan Markle and Britain’s Prince Harry.
Since their announcement on January 8 that they would step back from their roles as senior royals and work to be financially independent, they’ve been making headlines on a daily basis.
Are they moving to Canada permanently? Are British taxpayers going to foot the bill for their security detail? Since leaving Canada, how have they been handling parenthood and the pandemic in the luxury mansion where they’ve holed up in Los Angeles?
Juicy details from Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of A Modern Family, an upcoming biography written by Carolyn Durrand and Omid Scobie, have added to the incessant series of rumours around the couple.
Whatever you make of this media frenzy, one thing is certain: when Markle (who turns 39 on August 4) wears something, there’s a surge of interest – whether it’s a cocktail dress from London-based label Self-Portrait, a red gown from Valentino, or a pair of Veja trainers.
