A British guy is going to write a new unhinged ‘biography’ on the Duchess of Sussex

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attend the annual Commonwealth Day Service

One of the things which has been driven home repeatedly is that the Duchess of Sussex was pretty “clean” from a scandal and controversy standpoint. Yes, she was “political,” but that didn’t really stick to her because she was never a radical, and all people could find was some stuff about how she disliked Donald Trump. Yes, she had a starter marriage under her belt, but her ex-husband never spilled. Meghan managed to work in Hollywood for more than a decade and no one there had a bad word to say about her. So that’s why the British tabloid media had to go so far to pay her father and her half-sister to say all of that dumb sh-t about Meghan. That’s why they had to wholly invent this racist, dumbf–k “bullying” storyline. Apparently, old white bitter men in Britain still think there are stones left unturned in Meghan’s life. A dude named Tom Bower is going to write a “biography” of Meghan. Clout-chasing, mangy douche.

Meghan Markle is to have a tell-all book written about her by Tom Bower, one of the planet’s most feared celebrity biographers. Tom Bower, the man behind Simon Cowell, Philip Green and Bernie Ecclestone’s revelatory tomes, has agreed a huge six figure advance. He will start writing the book next year, spending the next 12 months collating evidence and speaking to the star and husband Prince Harry’s friends, foes and associates.

Following several bids, renowned publishers Simon & Schuster, who also published his book on the X Factor mogul, are understood to have bought the rights.

A source said: “This is the book Meghan will be dreading. Tom doesn’t pull his punches, and is terrifyingly thorough in his research. No stone will be left unturned. Tom has previously worked with some of his subjects, and even spent time trailing them, but it has been made perfectly clear to him that this will not be an option with Meghan. She wants no part of it. Given the events of recent weeks and months, this book will be dynamite – he reckons this is just the tip of the iceberg, and more will emerge over the next 12 months.”

The award-winning author is likely to interview Meghan’s family, including dad Thomas. He will also approach friends of the various aides and disgruntled former Palace staff who no longer work for Meghan and Harry. Last night a spokesperson for Simon & Schuster declined to comment.

These old farts are just obsessed. They cannot handle the fact that Meghan arrived on Salty White Folk Isle, married Ginger Prince Charming, got a good look at their toxicity and dysfunction, and she got the hell out (and that Prince Charming was the one who wanted to GTFO more than her). They’re still trying to hold on to her and abuse her. And what in God’s name is Simon & Schuster thinking? It would be one thing if this was just a sad salty tome made by a repressed old guy for repressed British people, but it sounds like he’s going to try to make this an international thing.

Speaking of… Lifetime is going to do a THIRD movie about Meghan and Harry. Lifetime’s first H&M movie was about their courtship and engagement. The second movie was about the first year of their royal life. And now the third film will be Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace, and it will be about all of their moves in 2019/2020 to “escape” Bitter Island. I mean, clearly, Lifetime has the franchise on this (literally) and unlike the Tom Bowers of the world, this sh-t seems relatively harmless.

    I say let him write and be damned. Luckily the Sussexes can now shut down and defend any crap written about them. I hope the publishers have deep pockets.

    • swirlmamad says:

      Right….I would think any reputable publisher would know better to go ahead with this if it’s only going to be a tome of lies and a bashfest. These people are so pathetic and I hope Meghan and Harry can just roll their eyes at this mess and keep it moving.

    • Cecilia says:

      I have to disagree with you here. I hope her lawyers get involved and put out a gag order. This woman is pregnant after a miscarriage and a first pregnancy which she wasn’t even able to enjoy. Enough FFS.

      • Cessily says:

        I agree, time to unleash the attorneys on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

      • Myra says:

        If they do that, it will give him more clout. I have loved that Meghan had ignored those biographies before and they have all gone to trash bins.

      • Laugh or Cry says:

        I think that is the point sadly, when she is pregnant they are extra vile in hope she loses the baby.

      • Emmitt says:

        No, let the man write the book.

        Then let Harry & Meghan bankrupt him and Simon & Schuster next.

    • Cessily says:

      More bullying, I do not understand the need to vilify Meghan. Does it make them better people? Do they sleep better at night? Are they proud?
      I will not be giving my money to the publisher of this book. I will make it a point to never buy another book or publication from them again.
      Time to just say “enough” even in small ways.

      • Elizabeth Regina says:

        Vilifying her is all they have left. It’s their spiteful and pathetic way of making sure no other royal dares to think of leaving the fold ever again.

      • Cate says:

        Seriously. They’ve been going at her on some level for what, five years now? And haven’t really pulled up anything genuinely negative. If the skeletons haven’t come out of the closet at this point I just don’t think they’re there to be found. It seems to me the “worst” thing that’s true (maybe) is that she’s a social climber but that label really applies to Kate also and IMO Kate’s social climbing is more selfish/lazy/wanting rich person perks, whereas in Meghan’s case it seems more like she wanted to make an impact/do some good with her life and so she wanted a husband who would help her achieve that goal. So yeah, not really expecting anything new or revelatory from this book. I guess maybe he will try to make something of this new “bullying” allegation but hopefully that will get exposed as a lie/smear.

      • Mac says:

        The Sun hired a private investigator and the most he got was Meghan’s social security number. There is no dirt on her. She is the kind and caring person she appears to be.

      • Sharon Adams says:

        Nothing but inbred bullies – wake up UK public! There is a documentary about Prince Charles that shows what a miserable king he would be – takes 21Mil a year from Cornwall, but does nothing for them, no road repairs, zilch. They are useless parasites. And Prince Andrew the pedophile – perfectly okay with them. But Meghan, that ‘schemer’, must be taken down. Might backfire bitches!

    • Abena Asantewaa says:

      I work in a bookshop in England, I can assure you, his book will fail like all the rest, apart from FF. He wrote a hachette book on Charles, it did not sell, we did not even stock it, because my boss thought he is just a gossip. Tom Bower, will be joining10 other failed DOS, books.

      • Elizabeth Regina says:

        Tom Bower and his publishers are counting on the haters buying the book which will definitely ensure it fails. I know the Sussex stans won’t buy it and of all the fandoms, that is where the money resides. I wonder if Meghan has a right to any of the proceeds of the book under the law if she is going to be the subject of it. We need Schillings to stay on top of this one.

      • Cecilia says:

        Charles is not meghan. Of course he doesn’t sell.

      • Carmen-JamRock says:

        I dont understand the thought process of those who query whether or not Meghan gets part of the proceeds from any of the myriad hit-pieces disguised as biographies written abt her. What part of: neither-she-nor-her-friends-or-loved-ones-would-touch-those-shit-stirrers-with-a-10-foot-pole, do folks not get?

    • Oy_Hey says:

      So far she’s won a judgment against the Mail where they have to print a front page retraction and a suit against one of the biggest pap photo agencies in the world.

      Simon & Schuster for some reason think that Meghan won’t sue and I can’t figure out what leg they have to stand on. Unless this is a dry listing of her credits on IMDB and a wedding announcement on the back I hear another judgment in the Duchess’ favor.

      • lanne says:

        have they published it yet?

      • Emily_C says:

        I think if they’re publishing in the U.S., the libel laws here are much less strict in the UK, which means suing a publisher here is significantly more difficult. You have to have hard proof that they’re lying, they intended to lie, that they intended that lie to be damaging, and I believe also that the lie was damaging. If you’re a public figure, it’s harder yet, which is why most just shrug and let it go.

        I think UK libel laws are generally ridiculous, overbearing, and benefit those with power and money most. Having a smearing, trashy “biography” published about you is sort of normal for anyone famous. I don’t think it’s like constant attacks from every side, as Meghan was (and is) subjected to in the British tabloids. I think ignoring it will be the smartest thing to do.

    • Original Jenns says:

      Sounds like it’s basically going to be a bunch of Daily Fail articles smushed together. The only sources who will be named are her father, sister, and maybe Piers Morgan and the other Rota Rats talking out both sides of their mouths. Everyone else will be a palace source pushing the fake bullying angle.

    • Kathleen Doyle says:

      Is it possible this is a backhanded takedown of the monarchy? He was educated in state schools and started as a conservative, but while studying at the LSC became a marxist for awhile according to his bio and interviews. I’m not sure where his politics currently are. The coverage on Megan is either all good from her charity and Hollywood roles or from her family and the various palaces bitchy and scheming. Is this the one time he doesn’t eviscerate his subject? I hope so but I may ne naive.

    • PrincessK says:

      Tom Bower is awful. I have listened to him bad mouth the Sussexes a number of times on Nick Ferrari’s LBC Radio show, Ferrari has a bad habit of inviting anti Sussex journalists and writers on to his show.

      Please ignore this book, yet another vulture and blood sucker.

  2. Snuffles says:

    Just more money for Archie and Baby Girl Sussex’s college fund.

  3. Jezebel says:

    Honestly, they’re just making her more famous and valuable, so she should (and is) just keep doing her and laughing all the way to the bank. You know what? I (and most people On the planet) don’t know any other princes wives names except for Diana and Wallis Simpson. So even though they’re trying to make her into their next Wallis or whatever…the only other name that is now immortal and extremely valuable is Meagan Markle/DOS.

    • Elizabeth Regina says:

      I agree. I’ve been saying for ages that the worst mistake the RF made was over smearing her and feeding her to the press. Every bitchy and disgusting article and every hate forum or group just added to her googleability and digital footprint and they are too dumb to see it.

  4. Elizabeth says:

    Meanwhile Andrew is RIGHT THERE.

    Omfg with these people who genuinely just live to hurt Black / biracial women.

    • My3cents says:

      Yes, why don’t they investigate and unearth what really needs to be? Write a book about a f***g human trafficker rapist prince for crying out loud.

      • Anastasia says:

        Because he’s a white British dude?

      • Becks1 says:

        Someone did – I read it last fall – called Prince Andrew, Epstein and the Palace – it was pretty good but did not get the traction it needed/deserved.

  5. Sofia says:

    The Sun thinks this dude will find things that they themselves couldn’t even after using illegal methods? Okay then. Also I did watch the lifetime movies. I liked the first one in a cheesy lifetime movie way but I didn’t like the second one. If the third one is a rehash of tabloid stories and narratives, I’ll skip it entirely.

    • swirlmamad says:

      I didn’t like the actor they used for Harry in the 2nd one, but I admit I thoroughly enjoyed the first. Both actresses that played Meghan were pretty spot on, but the actress in the 1st movie has an uncanny resemblance! I’m not trying to pretend that I won’t be watching the next installment…lol. Agree that if it’s going to paint them in a negative light, I won’t be tuning in, though.

    • Ginger says:

      I adored the first movie. The actors were really good. I didn’t even bother with the second one. The guy they got to play Harry looked nothing like him at all.

      • Noki says:

        I also loved the first one and i hope they revisit the same actors. Harrys actor in the second one was shocking. And Meghans actress voice was spot on but looked nothing like her.

      • Ann says:

        I watched the first one and really enjoyed it. I didn’t even know there was a second one. With the first I was alone at a vacation house we had rented for the month. My husband wasn’t there yet and I could watch whatever I wanted, so I saw it and went for it. I think it helped turn me into a fan.

    • Becks1 says:

      I didnt see the second lifetime movie but the first one was amusing and I liked it a lot. maybe I should find the second one lol.

    • Nedsdag says:

      I still watch the first one because the screenwriters caught things that were actually the truth, plus the actors were great and had chemistry. I didn’t bother watching the second one. The Harry in that movie looked like an Ed Sheeran tribute singer and the Meghan looked like Meghan had she gone a few rounds with Conor McGregor.

  6. Lauren says:

    His book will be a rehashed version of all the narratives previously released by the tabloids. There is just no dirt on Meghan, if an investagor couldn’t find anything how will this guy? Well get version 10 about how Meghan made Kate cry.

    • Elizabeth Regina says:

      If he and his publishers are smart, they should write and publish the truth about her. Trying to paint her as the devil does not work and does not sell. Taking the opposite track to all the other hatchet job books is a strategy I would advise if they want decent sales otherwise failure looms for them.

      • Lauren says:

        If he were to really write a realistic, truthful tell-all that is the only way to go. If he is doing this just to please the royal roaches he is going to have to settle for very little sales and maybe some litigation. It’s in his best interest to publish the truth.

  7. Over it says:

    Anything to make a buck, morals and truth be dammed. Does anyone really want to hear what Megs father and his children have to say?

    • swirlmamad says:

      We’ve certainly heard enough from the Markle peanut gallery.

    • Pat says:

      I don’t. We have heard more than enough of their lies. I remember reading “The Tig” a few years ago and there was a conversation that Meghan was involved in. I can’t remember most of it but It seemed like the deep, painful conversation you have with someone that you genuinely care about. I am my daddy’s daughter and the heartfelt emotions I felt that day had to be for Thomas or her ex- husband . It was vulnerable and willing on her side. I don’t believe that sperm donor or his daughter know honesty. They are blinded by green lights. I believe Thomas was the type to expect Meghan to take care of All his financial needs because he paid private tuition for her to go to with middle or high school. She had to work hard to get the grades so she did her part. She got into a good school and worked and volunteered as well as kept her grades up. It’s Not her responsibility to take care of her father financially, I remember her saying in the article that she could help some but that’s all. It makes me think about families where one person comes into a good bit of money but they end up broke and loosing everything or they step away from their family. The family started using them as an ATM machine with no payback option. I think that’s what happened between Meghan and her father , possibly siblings as well. Ask a lot of professional sports players about the financial pressures they receive from family
      Members. I honestly believe that was one of the issues between Meghan and Thomas. She knew one would lead to another handout and it would be expected. Look how fast he sold any and every interview on her. It was open season on M. Real supportive loving father’s Don’t do things like that, that’s not a relationship that’s a transaction. He’s disgusting. He wouldn’t see me or my husband and kids .

  8. Noki says:

    I Never understood how its ‘allowed’ to just write a whole book on someone without their permission. Especially while they are still breathing to tell their own story. I understand autobiographies can be biased but atleast its coming from the subject.

    • Elizabeth Regina says:

      Thankfully the Sussexes are free to explore what the law says about that because I am curious too.

      • Emily_C says:

        The law in the U.S. says you can write whatever you want about whoever you want, so long as you don’t knowingly lie with intent to harm, and when it comes to public figures even that is up in the air.

    • Emily_C says:

      Can you imagine if Trump had been allowed to withhold approval of all the books written about him? It is good that the subjects don’t get a say. Sometimes it means crap books like this one get written, but oh well, no one who doesn’t already hate Meghan is gonna take it seriously anyway.

  9. lanne says:

    Racists just stop racist-ing, can they? The tabloids have gone over Meghan’s past with a fine-toothed comb. They have committed crimes to get info on Meghan, including identity theft. They have tried PAYING PEOPLE to slag her. What’s this rancid old fart gonna get that the entirety of the tabloid Rupert Murdoch media couldn’t get? Who is he going to speak to? Whta can he do other than track down the Markles (again). We already have every picture, every birthday card, everything the Markles can throw at Meghan. What can his book provide that Lady Rotten Campbell whoever couldn’t provide in her shitrag tome?

    There’s a saying that stupidity is doing the same thing over and over in order expecting a different result. If Simon and Schuster has 6 figures to give this old white dude, I hope they have a fully funded legal department, because the Sussexes don’t play. They have deep pockets and powerful friends. Another shit book will only reinforce the Sussexes message that the RF was a passel of racists, and cause even more backlash against them, especially as he will likely be relying on the people who pushed Meghan out for info. And of course, Meghan and Harry have receipts that they can happily post to dispell the “bullying claims.”

  10. GR says:

    Simon & Schuster probably also have a number of competent lawyers. I imagine this idiot Bower won’t have a lot of scope to just make things up.

  11. Izzy says:

    LMAO she already took on the Fail and won, helped take down a paparazzi agency… and clearly has a binder full of receipts. So good luck, old white dude. Don’t spend too much of that advance because you’re gonna be giving it up in a settlement.

  12. Cecilia says:

    How exactly is it a tell all if meghan isn’t even involved?

  13. Andrew’s Nemesis says:

    I hope that she sues him to infinity and beyond, and absolutely crushes him. Loathsome little creep.
    GO AFTER ANDREW, you foetid pratt. There’s scandalous material a mile wide and an ocean deep for you to draw upon.

  14. BayTampaBay says:

    “These old farts are just obsessed. ”

    Yes! They are obsessed with making money anyway they can. The old farts cannot make REAL money off books about Baldingham, Sophie, Anne, Eugenie or Beatrice.

  15. The British are in a revenge mode. They are seething with massive anger. They want Meghan’s blood. They were humiliated before the whole world and they want to exact revenge.

    This book is with the blessing of the William and Kate. They and the Brits will not stop until they get their pound of flesh.

    But Meghan is the epitome of strength. She will never bend and they can never break her. Not even this fake book can do that.

    • Snuffles says:

      At this point Meghan is the Road Runner and the royals and British media are Wile E. Coyote. Everything they do will just blow up in their faces.

      • lanne says:

        You made me laugh out loud! Thank you! From now on, I’m going to imagine all of the courtiers, and all of the tabloid media, as the ACME company. My dad and I always said, watching Will E Coyote, he could have enjoyed so many delicious steak dinners, or pheasant, whatever his taste, if he stopped spending all him damn money on defective ACME products to try to chase down a tough old bird. Just think what the royals could be doing with their message, their global brand, and their image if they stopped chasing after Meghan and got down to the task of making themselves relevant in a post Brexit 21st century world. They have a lot to do to shore up their future, but they just can’t let go of this biracial American woman who has bested them, and therefore, they can’t stop showing their pasty, pimpled, mottled, and unwashed bare asses to the world (completely ignoring the unlanced butt boil called Prince Andrew and trying to spray gold paint on the shit coil called the Cambridges)–ack–sorry if I grossed everyone out!

      • Nanny to the Rescue says:

        Nooo nooo, bad you!

        I always rooted for the Coyote, and now with this comparison I’m all conflicted. 😛

      • deering24 says:

        lanne-🤣🤣🤣 on the Coyote going after lousy bird. My grandmother (who cooked her fair share of chickens) noted that the Road Runner didn’t look worth stuffing, much less blowing up half the desert to eat.

    • Cessily says:

      With their blessing? How can the KP and W&K think this is the way to go? It is like they are terrified that if the narrative falls off H&M they might look closer at them..

    • Becks1 says:

      It’s really scary to think about how the press there is really gunning for H&M. Like, they did what you wanted, and they left. Now just leave them the eff alone.

    • MsIam says:

      If this is with the royals blessing, then they better remember there are “receipts” and lawyers. Plus this alleged book is not supposed to come out until next year anyway. Also, if this were going to be more than a quick rehash hit job it would take a lot longer than that.

  16. Elizabeth Kerri Mahon says:

    If the Sun’s investigator, Andrew Morton, Lady Colin Campbell, Omid Scobie and Sean Smith couldn’t dig up any dirt, what makes Tom Bower think that he’s going to do any better? All he’s going to do is regurgitate the same garbage that Thomas Markle and Scammy have been saying for years, along with disgruntled unnamed sources from the Palace.

    • Ginger says:

      This book will be like Lady CC’s and Scammy’s book. They promise all of the tea and it will be boring and the haters will want their money back.

    • BayTampaBay says:

      Tom Bower’s book will be scathing to Meghan but it will be just as scathing the BRF and their courtiers as is Mr. Bower’s style. I cannot imagine anyone not making money off this book wanting it to be written.

      • BABSORIG says:

        Naaahh, he’s written SEVERAL FAILED autobiografies, this won’t be the first. And every person he wrote a “scathing” book on remained exactly where he found them, if not even miles ahead. He is a mean spirited person but his his evilness never broke nobody.

      • Lorelei says:

        @Bay I’ve been reading royal biographies for decades and I don’t think I’ve ever even heard of this guy, even though he’s purportedly “one of the planet’s (lol) most feared celebrity biographers.” I’ll just be sitting here waiting for Tina Brown’s book.

        Even Meghan’s most ardent haters won’t shell out $ for a book; they’ll just wait until the Fail inevitably starts covering it and posting excerpts of all of the most interesting parts.

        The ROTA will probably split the cost of one copy to share amongst themselves, as we all know their incomes have been steadily declining and will only continue to shrink more the longer the Sussexes have been gone. They need to be frugal now, lol.

  17. Lowrider says:

    They media and institution created a circle of hate around Meghan and they are profiting off that hate.

    The only people they can really get to stab her is her paternal family.

    • Nanny to the Rescue says:

      Which is doubly sad, because it’s her family.

      I’d rather have ex co-workers stab me in the back than my own dad & sibling. :/

  18. (The OG) Jan90067 says:

    Mind boggling. SO IRRELEVANT….and yet she won’t be left alone in peace. Jesus…it really IS Diana 2.0.

  19. Amy Bee says:

    I thought the press wanted Meghan to fade into irrelevance? That’s not going to happen if they continue to write about her.

    • Amelie says:

      I think they want her to fade into irrelevance after they have thoroughly destroyed her. Until then they will keep writing. It’s horrible.

      • Amy Bee says:

        Sarah Vine wrote an article about Harry and Meghan yesterday after bleating that they were irrelevant about a month ago. The press obsession with them is truly unhinged.

    • Emily_C says:

      The press wants to keep making money from her, one way or another.

  20. S808 says:

    What is he gonna write that hasn’t already been written?

  21. Original Penguin says:

    Would love it if he wrote the book and it came out and it turned out to be pro-Meghan. I don’t think FF went far enough in defence. There is room in the market for a pro Sussex book which dishes all about the palace and it’s machinations

    • LaraW" says:

      I agree. I think writing a pro-Meghan book would be far more lucrative and makes more business sense. The pro-Meghan international market is much, much larger, and the anti-Meghan faction will buy the book anyway to hate-read. If he does the reverse, I really don’t think he’ll rake in as much money as the publishers are hoping. Pro-Meghan won’t be interested in reading more smear and are already disinclined to believe anything that comes out of an old white British man’s mouth; SussexSquad might even organize a boycott of the book. The anti-Meghan base would be the only ones interested and I don’t think their numbers would even offset the cost of printing, promotion, and distribution of the book.

      Now that I think more about it, Bower seems like he has enough clout due to his reputation, and there are “royal sources” apparently lined up to speak against Meghan. I’m assuming he’ll have easy access to the press, which means he’ll be able to reach spaces and individuals who were likely more hostile/not forthcoming to Scobie. Scobie was already well known for his positive coverage of Meghan. I would be interested to read something that sheds more insight not into Meghan’s life, but the circumstances around it while she was a working royal. News of his interviewing Thomas Markle isn’t necessarily enough to conclude that the book will be a “take-down” of Meghan.

      The royal family has often been caught by surprise, expecting the publication of a wholly sympathetic book (Battle of Brothers) that actually turned out to be not what they wanted at all. So, I guess I’ll reserve judgment for the moment.

      • Lorelei says:

        Exactly…we’ve been seeing the same stupid headlines about her over and over again for four+ years, and this book won’t have anything new to add. They did everything humanly possible to dig up dirt on her and the worst they could find was that idiot Samantha, who was willing to talk for $.

        Even the haters must be tired of seeing the same stories recycled and don’t need a retread of it all.

    • ABritGuest says:

      Nah after FF was published Bower said it was a big betrayal and that Meghan won’t be welcome back in Britain. Can’t even imagine what he is saying after Oprah.

      It will be usual hit piece: Diana 2.0 wannabe Meghan social claimed her way into Harry’s life, seduced poor Harry& turned him against all his loved ones, made the Queen, Kate& everyone cry with her diva, bullying ways before dragging henpecked Harry to Hollywood & getting ready for President run. Will probably have stuff leaked from the palace to discredit Oprah interview too& more from the Markles.

      Not sure who wants to read that when you can pick up any paper or watch most mainstream U.K. channels saying the same but hey..

      He wrote a hatchet job on Jeremy Corbyn and was sued. If he does go after Oprah interview that may be when see receipts dropped if what he writes is defamatory.

      • LaraW" says:

        ABritGuest, you’ve dashed my hopes and dreams. I demand reparations, preferably in the form of virtual biscuits.

  22. Ariel says:

    I very much enjoyed the first lifetime movie. I tried to re-watch it on streaming, but amazon had a documentary/news program about them mislabeled as the lifetime movie, which happens occasionally. I might have to take another look for those movies.
    I’m always up for a month long subscription so i can watch a few things on a particular network.

  23. Phoenix says:

    Oh, dear Lord, not again!
    I understand that royals and scandals sell but why nobody tries to write a book about Andrew? Or the Cambridges, there are plenty new things to write there.

  24. TheOriginalMia says:

    Meghan’s friends won’t take his calls. He’s already tipped his hand so they know it won’t be complimentary or fair towards her. Tbh, I’m not sure who Harry calls friends these days. The aristocrats seem like a bunch of snobby parts. His military buds won’t speak against him. So who’s left? Terrible Tom, Bitter Samantha, the Cambridges & their staff, Ma Midds. Good for him for gritting some money from Simon & Schuster, but this isn’t going to be the best seller he thinks it’ll be. The BM have thrown everything at her and nothing has stuck that wasn’t racist, misogynistic and anti-American.

  25. Sunday says:

    Well, congrats Simon & Schuster… if the Sussexes ever decide to publish anything, whether it be autobiographies or something with Archewell, you have now definitively crossed yourselves off the list of possible publishers.

    This is so gross.

  26. Adrian says:

    Why is it that every time some Brit writes a book about Meghan, the tabloids insist that it is supposed to be feared and dreaded? They love to hype up these authors when it comes to Meghan. Remember when the other daughter’s book was supposed to be so damaging to Meghan? Remember when the Campbell person wrote the other book? These books were supposed to reveal the truth about Meghan. Honestly, there was nothing new. The Brits supposedly already hate her, yet they follow, listen, and read everything about her. Most people have already made up their mind about Meghan. They either love her or hate her. This book will not change anything. This is just another old white person making money off ‘the real’ Meghan Markle, the Meghan Markle that they don’t even know.

  27. Aurora says:

    How will this book be different from the rest? Meghan’s real friends won’t talk so it will just be anonymous royal aides spreading venom.

  28. Emily says:

    Samantha Markle will be thrilled to have somebody new to chat with.

  29. SarahCS says:

    Didn’t Simon & Schuster recently pull a book they were due to publish after the author showed their a$$? That republican congressman? Might have been a different publisher but I’m sure their name has been associated with other questionable topics that they then bailed on when it got too hot for them (and their wallets).

    Having said that, I can’t see what this chap can write that will be in any way new (we know there is no more dirt to be had), the Sussexes have made it clear they will sue if you go too far so he’s hamstrung from the start.

    Who will buy this book on this basis?

    • Jaded says:

      They pulled Senator Josh Hawley’s book because of his raised-fist, uber-conservatism and right wing bullsh*t. He eventually found another publisher but good for Simon & Schuster. Bower has a pretty bad reputation in literary circles for “rewriting” the truth and if he does that you can bet the Sussexes will be all over it legally.

      • TheOriginalMia says:

        He didn’t find another publisher. S&S published it under one of their little known, smaller publishing firms.

  30. whateveryousay says:

    This is going to be really ugly. At this point what do they want? Her to divorce him? Kill herself? It’s so awful.

    Also why would her father who has been caught in multiple lies and her freaking sister (she hasn’t seen in like 20 years) have to say that hasn’t been said? Her former castmates won’t say anything. There was that one ex friend of hers that tried to make Meghan sound awful because of her divorcing her ex, but that woman ended up being found out that she apparently had an affair with her ex, so don’t think there is much to add besides unknown palace sources coming out for her.

  31. mariahlee says:

    Things like this, and the the fact that Harry has been in the press for his professional moves yet Meghan is still the one being smeared daily, is exactly why I think it’s sad she thinks she got her fairytale. This will never end. They will torment her until they can fake mourn her.

    • lanne says:

      It only hurts if she listens, and she has no reason to listen now. I think she has a deep circle of friends around her, she has the love of her life, and 2 babies. She has no time for haters. She’s not the first black woman to face an army of hate, but I would argue this is a hate campaign for the ages, and the hate campaign how she has overcome it is part of her story. She has reached legendary status beyond what she ever imagined (or wanted, likely). The story of Meghan will be as indelibly tied to the royal family as the story of Diana, and the legend of both women will continue to cast aspersion over the British RF for generations, as long as it lasts. If there’s a King George the 7th, and I’m not sure if there will be, but if there is, I imagine that he will have to contend with the image of his aunt and his grandmother, and perhaps even offer public apologies to both.

  32. Fredegunda says:

    I’d imagine that any of “Harry’s friends” who speak to Bower will soon be former friends…

  33. bibi says:

    The experienced private investigator could find any dump on her – I dont know what this guy could find… It will be a 90% potpourri of petty teen comments from the people who hated her. I seriously don’t understand the height and the depth of the hate for Meghan and Harry. This constant harrassment towards them is just unacceptable, the opportunist vultures trying to bank on them leave their stink everywhere.

  34. Lizzie says:

    The last book Meghan was supposed to be dreading, by her half sister, sort of fell off the face of the earth. Did it eventually get published?

  35. girl_ninja says:

    This is just abuse plain and simple. These people want to see her crawling on her knees sobbing begging to come back to Shutter Island and the palace of the Damned. They are relentless and pitiful.

    If it can be stopped I hope it is. This is too much.

  36. CityGirl says:

    I can’t wait for the day they leave this poor woman alone

  37. IRMAVEP says:

    My concern with Bower’s proposed unauthorised biography of Meghan is not that he’s going to – once again – sift through her past life – or even her present life and uncover something unsavoury. After all, how much more gold can there be amongst the remaining dross not already covered by the myriad reporters in innumerable newspapers and on websites worldwide. The UK’s Daily Mail alone runs up to eighteen separate articles each day on Meghan [and Harry] . No, my fear is that Bower knows, or suspects, that William and Kate, and other members of the RF and their viper courtiers, have some nasty shocks planned for the next year or so, to ensure that they do everything they can to try to prevent Harry and Meghan succeeding at anything they attempt in the US and elsewhere. This story of Harry and Meghan leaving the RF – but especially of Meghan’s escape from Britain and from William, Kate, and the other Royals – has the unnerving trope of a runaway slave being pursued by a vengeful ‘master’, who in his fury at being thwarted, is prepared to illegally cross the river with his pack of savage hounds, to run the slave down and destroy them and anyone who aids them. This is about control, about vengeance, about exerting punishment on anyone who challenges William’s and Kate’s white dominance and institutional power [I’ll leave it to you to consider which other royals are also culpable]. I hope Bower is not one of the trained hunting hounds ready to rip Meghan [and Harry and their little family] to shreds to prove how far the royals’ influence and domination spreads, and how little respect they have for the law. It’s pretty low behaviour even for previous centuries, but almost unthinkable in the 21st century. Yet it is happening even with the world looking on. That’s institutional racism and white arrogance incarnate – and made even worse by Meghan being pregnant. Nothing is sacred.

    • MsIam says:

      The royals have too many skeletons of their own to worry about. Look at them talking about hiring a “diversity czar” and running around trying to find black people to hang out with. People who live in glass houses….. Plus, the more they attack the Sussexes, the less likely they are to get Harry back which is what they wanted. If they can’t have that, then the focus will be on trying to build up Will and Kate to be “better”, lol.

      • IRMAVEP says:

        Hope you are correct. Their policy in the past has been to try to build up William and Kate by bringing down Harry and Meghan. I fear that – as William and Kate are a pair of lazy bores – this policy is what the RF will continue to fall back on, As for Harry, I think they know now that they have lost him for good – as a result of their ruthless indifference to Meghan’s treatment by the British press, fed by rumours via Wills.

      • BayTampaBay says:

        This is one book, the “Bower Book”, that I don’t think the BRF wants written.

  38. Lizzie says:

    Simon & Schuster are understood to have bought the righs – we’ll see. If they did they won’t publish the trash the bm does on the daily. Meghan has a habit of winning lawsuits.

  39. Carabella says:

    All this will bring the end of the British monarchy. People aren’t stupid and can see this is a hit piece on Meghan to prop up characterless Cathy. The British people will not accept the Middletons up on the Buckingham Palace balcony waving down to them. Meghan is the threat as she and Harry actually do have what it would take to keep the show going.

  40. Nyro says:

    Five years of digging in this woman past, going so far as to commit crimes in order to get some dirt on her and yet they got nothing. What was the bombshell revelation in The Other Sister’s book? That Meghan threw blueberries on the floor as a baby. Lol. This old white man is racist, angry, and broke. I hope she ignores this clout chaser. This book is going to flop just like every other hit piece on her has.

  41. Jaded says:

    All Bower’s books are unauthorized crap and most of the subjects of said books have taken legal action against him, many of them winning, and one book has been prevented to go to print since 2006. This guy does not have a sterling reputation in the literary world and I can see the Sussexes suing him for libel, especially if he gets Tommy Two-Timer and Scamantha to contribute to this book. Meghan and Harry are powerful and they’ve shown they have the guts, determination and legal team to make publication of this book difficult.

    • Saucy&Sassy says:

      Jaded, as I read your comment it occurred to me that this may be what they want? For Meghan to sue. It will keep her in the bm everyday and she ends up providing receipts. If that’s the case, the brf REALLY don’t want this book to be published.

      • Jaded says:

        Good call Saucy&Sassy – I totally agree. It’s the old “give them enough rope and they’ll hang themselves” ploy.

  42. L4frimaire says:

    All these people using Meghan to get some clout and coins. Look at his previous subjects. Who hasn’t want to delve into the complex life, thoughts and travails of Simon Cowell or Philip Green ( his daughter dated Prison Bae),lol. Yeah, I’m sure Meghan’s first thought was who? Whatever.

  43. Sharon Adams says:

    Well he won’t make Meghan look bad without making the monarchy look worse. They don’t seem to realize that they are collapsing under their own dysfunctional, anachronistic, racist, arrogant weight. To hell with them!

  44. How can the anti-Sussex minions say that Meghan dreads the coming of this whatever book? She knows this is a hit job against her by the racist British media and the racist royal family. She knows that they are all out to get her. And this is one of their so many ways to get back at her. She’s taken so much and this fake book is chicken feed compared to what she’s gone through with all the royal family and the British media altogether. So bring it on racist Brits.

  45. aquarius64 says:

    I hope the Sussexes sue this idiot. And if he is dumb enough to use the Markles and Nikkai Priddy that book will be laid waste. It will be more if Meghan sues her rotten family and reveal inconvenient truths about them. The Markles have never been vetted and they would not survive in an American court proceeding under cross examination. As shown in the Oprah interview Meghan is done with her father. If she has to take him down to protect her family so be it.

  46. AndaPanda says:

    They are obsessed with her! It reminds me of the Republican obsession with AOC.

  47. blunt talker says:

    My biggest problem with this so called bio-It is written by old white Englishmen-They use culture and title as a right to smear someone they don’t like-Since he has indicated he is going to write this book-Everybody has a chance to rebuke it-Meaning Meghan and Harry have some receipts on this shit-people better be careful with what they say in case receipts show up.

  48. Agreatreckoning says:

    A week in review:
    Palace is going to hire a ‘diversity czar’.
    Queen is going to cut costs.
    The other brother and wife mumble something about mental health.
    It becomes known that Harry has a job and will be on the board of something cool. Profits from Meghan’s cookbook are donated to people who need them.
    Kate is loyal to her husband and is dignified.
    Queen doesn’t believe Charles will live up to her sense of duty.
    It’s important to mention in any article that isn’t about Harry & Meghan…the value of their home?
    Diversity czar situation is confusing-no hiring but it’s been in the works for quite a while?
    An unauthorized pile of something will be written about Meghan-because somehow this dude will find out things no one else has? And most people that he “interviews” don’t want to speak on record or want to be named. Bombshells from anonymous voices. Alrighty then.
    Prince Albert has something to say and the majority of people probably laughed out loud.
    No diversity czar hired yet.
    Charles and the Cambridges announce the hiring of a new PR person/spin doctor. Though they need one…it is telling where the priorities are when hiring a new PR person before hiring someone that could help with the palace/houses diversity issues. Ahem..not in the right place.

    Dear new PR person Simon: Please tell your new employer that if they really want to revamp their image…they need to do so without throwing any more stones at Harry & Meghan. It might work in England. Globally not so much. And if any unnamed sources for this new unauthorized book come from the palace, any good PR work you do will be for nothing. Not a good look.
