New details about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal departure (opens in new tab) have been the subject of a new royal biography excerpt published this week.

The book by royal reporters Omid Scobie (opens in new tab) and Carolyn Durand (opens in new tab), Finding Freedom: Harry, Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family Finding Freedom: Harry, Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family," focuses on Harry and Meghan's decision to step down from their roles as senior working royals. In one excerpt from the book, published Saturday in The Times (opens in new tab), the authors claim that Harry and Meghan (opens in new tab) felt that "few people inside the palace were looking out for their interests," and why the news of the couple's royal exit, about which They offer an explanation as to why they decided to share it publicly before having an official meeting with the Queen.

"Harry felt like he was being blocked," a source close to the royal family said of Harry's frustration over the backlash he faced when he tried to schedule a meeting with his grandmother (opening with a new tab) to discuss his and Meghan's plans, according to the excerpt.

Another source added, "At this point they felt like they had brought up the subject enough times to family members over the past year and were tired of not being taken seriously. Everyone had a chance to help, but no one did."

The bold claims made by the upcoming book have dominated royal news recently, but we still need to take them with a grain of salt, as the information in the book does not come directly from the royal family themselves.

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not interviewed and did not contribute to Finding Freedom," a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan (opens in new tab) told ET Online (opens in new tab) about the book. 'The book is based on the authors' own experiences as members of the royal press corps and their own independent reporting.'
