Duke and Duchess of Sussex Fire Back at Royal Family Author’s Latest Claims

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have issued a sharp response to author Tom Bower's newest book about the British royal family. The couple dismissed Bower's work as conspiracy theories and accused him of being obsessed with attacking their reputation.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have delivered a scathing response to writer Tom Bower following the release of excerpts from his latest book about Britain’s royal family, calling his work nothing more than wild theories and dramatic storytelling.

The couple released a harsh statement Saturday, asserting that Bower “has long crossed the line from criticism into fixation.”

Excerpts from Bower’s new publication appeared in the Times of London Friday, where he made several explosive allegations. Among them, the writer claimed Queen Camilla reportedly told an acquaintance that Meghan had “brainwashed” Prince Harry. Bower also suggested that Prince William and Catherine viewed Meghan “as a threat rather than an ally” during rising tensions before Harry and Meghan’s departure from Britain to establish their life in America.

“This is someone who has publicly stated, ‘the monarchy in fact depends on actually obliterating the Sussexes from our state of life,’ language that speaks for itself,” the couple’s statement declared.

“He has made a career out of constructing ever more elaborate theories about people he does not know and has never met,” their response added. “Those interested in facts will look elsewhere; those seeking deranged conspiracy and melodrama know exactly where to find him.”

The published excerpts also contained harsh commentary regarding the couple’s finances, their charitable endeavors, and Harry’s Invictus Games, the yearly athletic event he established for military veterans who have been wounded, injured, or fallen ill during service.

This marks Bower’s second major publication focusing on the Sussexes, following his 2022 release “Revenge: Meghan, Harry, And the War Between the Windsors.”
