Apparently, Meghan Markle is enjoying a breath of fresh air in her native Los Angeles after leaving the UK with her husband and son.
Royal expert Omid Scobie, author of “Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family,” recently revealed on the Heirpod podcast that the 38-year-old has more freedom to speak “from the heart” on topics like like racial injustice and gender equality.
He specifically pointed to the Duchess of Sussex’s speech at the Girl Up Leadership Summit last week. She said the former “Suits” star was not based on a structured speech that is generally given to members of the British royal family for public engagements.
“This was Meghan really able to speak without the limitations of some of the things to keep in mind when writing a speech as a working member of the royal family,” Scobie said in the UK’s DailyMail on Tuesday.

“I understand that you spent a lot of time preparing for this speech,” he continued. “Usually we see members of the royal family reading very tight scripts when they go on stage. I understand that Meghan had bullets. “
According to Scobie, the former Hollywood actress was “perhaps a little more shocking than we’ve seen in the past.”
“She spoke more from the heart than from a script,” he said. “I had an interesting conversation with Team Sussex after this happened. They said this speech really spoke about many of the issues that she will continue to focus on passionately moving forward: gender equality, racial injustice, youth empowerment. This was an excellent preview for the Duchess of Sussex and some of her future speaking engagements. ”
In May, Page Six reported that Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, reportedly spoke to Scobie and Carolyn Durand to tell them everything that details their departure as members of the royal family.
The “Finding Freedom” book will be released by Dey Street Books on August 11.
