Prince Harry, Meghan Markle clash with royal author takes new turn
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have come under fresh criticism from royal author Tom Bower, who claimed they struggle to handle negative attention.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex dismissed his book as “deranged” and accused him of pushing misleading narratives.
They said Bower had "long crossed the line from criticism into fixation,” adding that 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.”
"He has made a career out of constructing ever more elaborate theories about people he does not know and has never met.
“Those interested in facts will look elsewhere; those seeking deranged conspiracy and melodrama know exactly where to find him."
However, the author has now doubled down and said that the California-based royals only accept their own version of events.
Speaking on a podcast, Bower also made personal remarks about Harry and Meghan while alleging their relationship is built on mutual benefit rather than emotion.
He told The Express, “I mean, Harry can’t read a book, he never has. And I don’t think Meghan reads many books either.
“But what I take from it is this (the statement), that the thing with Harry and Meghan is that they think only their narrative, only their story should be accepted.
“They can’t take it that somebody could criticise them, that someone could question them.
“I think it's a relationship based on a good business understanding. He needs her, because he’s a lonely sad man, and she needs the label.”
