Be There in Five

This week's bonus episode is a conversation with BTI5 royal correspondent Merritt Beck (@merrittbeck, The Style Scribe) about Omid Scobie's book detailing Harry & Meghan's time in the spotlight called "Finding Freedom." They discuss what stood out to them in each phase, from courtship, to engagement, wedding, baby, and Megxit, while forever trying to figure out if Meghan did indeed write this herself.
