His eagerness to paint Meghan in the most unattractive light leads him to do her down on everything: he is even scathing about her cookery skills. The famous not for profit foundations, we learn, have been incorporated in Delaware - a state with no known connection to either Sussex but conveniently where the accounts don't have to be made public and so noone has the slightest clue what 'expenses' are now lining Sussex pockets from the supposedly charitable foundations.

Sorry if my review sounds all over the place, this is a lot to process for someone of my generation. But the last time I alluded to Meghan Markle on Goodreads, it unleashed a wave of abuse from her fans which was quite simply staggering, even to me - and I'm used to facing down abusive comments from both authors and other readers. To advance herself she not only abandoned her father and close friends, but first misled Harry's relations and then been accused of lying to Oprah Winfrey. He turned her into what she is today when he and her mother decided, on her birth, that whatever Meghan wants, Meghan gets.And last, but not least, this is a creepy nod to the greatest of all isolation mysteries, And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. For starters it is, blessedly in my opinion, devoid of any sensational language and "histerical tone", it simply picks up the thread of how it all began and brings it almost to present day. So, ‘Revenge’ was eye opening and frankly as sad as it is for the Queen to have one of her grandsons turn out this way, I hope that they are completely dropped by the Royal Family.

Revenge by Tom Bower, review: a portrait of Meghan as a

The author does attribute positive values to Meghan too, but they come across as damning with faint praise. He presented already known information about her life and behaviour; including her ambition and willingness to use and discard people. It is a fascinating tale of an actress who wanted to establish herself as an activist, feminist and philanthropist. 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. Barbados pulled out after many years planning to become a republic with one of the best and most intellectual politicians Mia Amor Mottley as prime minister.Concealing humiliation to achieve success had transformed a compassionate young woman into a merciless opportunist. As for the Boris book, Bower was criticised for being highly biased ( his wife worked with Boris at the time), but having read the Meghan book, I am wondering if the criticism itself might be biased. I imagine Meghan will at some stage get so knee-deep in her lies, that even Harry will wonder what’s happening. Update 2 If you find something in a book that is not true, it makes you doubt everything doesn't it? The funeral on April 17 came just one month after her grandson Harry and Meghan gave their infamous interview to Oprah Winfrey.

Revenge by Tom Bower | Waterstones

And this is one of the greatest novels ever written, a comedic western about a young girl looking for the man who shot her pa. Bower has Meghan pegged as a schemer who saw Prince Harry as her ticket to the big time and is now determined to ruin the Queen’s final years.

Add to the mix an unrelenting fickle fan base, frenzied media and an increasingly irrelevant British royal family and you have not only a very dark soap opera but a mirror image of disparity within not only Western culture but the unceasing suffering of the third world which act as a backdrop to Yves St. She lied on Oprah, she lied in court about not having any involvement at all in the hagiography Omid Scobie wrote Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family. It seems like such a waste of what could have been a wonderful change and lifelong opportunities for good.

Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors

Bower is married to Veronica Wadley, former editor of the London Evening Standard, and has four children.While this is not the kind of book I would normally read, I was annoyed to hear from American friends that it was being ‘suffocated’ in the USA by the Sussexes’ PR firm to protect their ‘brand’. As biographical hitmen go, Tom Bower has a reasonable reputation, and this is well presented and very readable. And he wished with all his might that one of his bombs would find its target and rid the world of this unspeakable evil. Like many, I found the Oprah Winfrey interview cloying and wondered what on Earth Harry was thinking in agreeing to it.
