Bower, who has previously written unauthorised biographies of Robert Maxwell, Richard Branson, Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson, has based his book on information provided by Meghan’s friends and foes, but she has not had any input herself. Along with the publisher HarperCollins he made a full, unqualified withdrawal of the allegations, but neither apologised nor paid any money to the complainant or the lawyers. Tom Bower, author of a new insider's account of the royal couple titled Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors, said the Duchess of Sussex 'thought the royal family would be like Hollywood. Sympathy for Thomas’s plight, however, evaporates with each passing chapter, as he takes credit for all of his daughter’s achievements, and becomes ever more of a loose cannon. Tom Bower is the bestselling author of over twenty-five books, including Revenge, Rebel Prince, and Broken Dreams.

I love reading about the drama between the Sussexes and the working royals, but I just hope it’s not the same rehashing of gossip we’ve been hearing for years. Harry needs to grow up and learn life is not easy, even if you are a privileged brat from a broken home. Single-handedly, and for considerable financial gain, the Sussexes had tarnished the Queen's global reputation for unblemished decency.She tried every trick in the book to be introduced to A-listers, such as Emma Watson and Nichole Kidman, but was shunned. Desmond claimed that the book included an account of an incident that weakened his "super-tough" reputation as a businessman and was therefore defamatory. Tom Bower's Diary: My Marxist past, abuse from Tariq Ali, a warning for Meghan and the demise of Today".

Regarding his testimony and book, Bower was criticized by some commentators for predominantly relying on, and rehashing, information from the Swiss Federal Archives that had already been made public by Swiss historians and others. Meghan has finally got top-billing, quite a way up from acting in a cable tv show with no hopes of Hollywood. His latest biography, Revenge, takes Meghan’s carefully-constructed image and puts it through the shredder. Also, quite amusingly, some of the people who decry any and all criticism of her as 'racist' have happily crossed the line into racism themselves. The title is more than a year in the works, with Bower interviewing royal insiders, friends, and foes – including those “who have never spoken before”.The Duchess of Sussex later disagreed in her bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview, claiming it was the other way around and adding: 'She (Kate) was upset about something, but she owned it, and she apologised. Katie added there are 'different versions' of the story and claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan know Kate is 'not in a position to respond'. She also claimed that she spent her 'entire senior year' working at the US embassy in Argentina, when it was only five weeks.

As for his book’s contention that the whiny – though threatening – couple never had a thing to complain about: if they didn’t then, they do now. The way she mistreated staff (not to mention her father), lied about her early childhood, stretched the truth on her background… it was all infuriating to read.She claimed she spent ten years of her life on the set of Married With Children in the afternoons after school. Someone who's been intent on a Hollywood lifestyle from a young age would understandably find that level of self-silencing quite difficult to follow. Bower knows the hypocrisies, shenanigans and wicked deeds of the rich, of the social climbers, of the established royalty as well as the falseness of celebrity social justice warriors.

I was surprised that he didn’t mention the ridicule on social media regarding the TIME Magazine’s cover where Harry’s hair seemed airbrushed into a full head of hair. Someone on my other review ranted that 'Asians are all racist as f*ck', which is so spectacularly blind to irony that I can only applaud in awe. The British Royal Family believed that the dizzy success of the Sussex wedding, watched and celebrated around the world, was the beginning of a new era for the Windsors. The respected biographer, Tom Bower, has been giving some extraordinary interviews about his new study of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Nor taken in by the couple’s replacement occupation, now they are non-working royals, of supplying bland, homiletic content to US clients.However Meghan would later claim in her interview with Oprah Winfrey that the Duchess of Cambridge made her cry. Bower's first book was Blind Eye to Murder (1980), the first exposé based on eyewitnesses and newly released archives in London and Washington of the Allied failure after 1945 to hunt down Nazi war criminals and de-Nazify West Germany.
