Royal biographer announces new book about Duchess Meghan
Does Duchess Meghan, 39, have bad things to fear? Royal expert and biographer Tom Bower, 74, has announced plans to publish a book about the wife of Prince Harry, 36, and his words almost sound like a threat. “I’m writing it right now. It will tell the truth when it comes out next year,” the author told The Express. For his work on Meghan, he is said to have already received an advance payment in the six-digit range. According to media reports, Bower has already spent over a year talking to friends and enemies of the royal couple.
The 74-year-old is one of Great Britain’s most famous biographers and has already written about Mohamed Al-Fayed and Richard Branson. Confirmation of his book on Duchess Meghan comes just days after Harry announced that he would publish his memoir in 2022. It remains to be seen whether parallels will be found in the two books and who will be more likely to be believed by the people.

Queen Elizabeth: fear of Harry’s revelations! Will he put Duchess Camilla in the wrong light?
Queen Elizabeth, 95, has seen a lot of turmoil in her reign. But until a few months ago, she certainly did not imagine that her beloved grandson Prince Harry, 36, would one day like a tornado upset and question the reputation of the British royal family. After the sensational interview of the Duke of Sussex and his wife Duchess Meghan, 39, with the US talker Oprah Winfrey, 67, and further intimate chats with the prince, the royal, who emigrated to the USA with his family, dropped the next bombshell: the next one He will publish his memoirs in 2022 – in the orbit of his grandmother’s platinum anniversary as a monarch. And a family member could not get away well with it, as the palace fears.
Harry’s publisher Penguin Random House Verlag announced on Instagram: “In his intimate and heartfelt memoir from one of the most fascinating and influential global figures of our time, Prince Harry will, for the first time ever, share the definitive account of the experiences, adventures, losses and life lessons who shaped him. ” That sounds like a lot of dust that the son of heir to the throne Prince Charles, 72, could stir up – and especially his stepmother Duchess Camilla, 74, could hit.
“Honestly, Harry has never been close to the Duchess of Cornwall,” a source told the Daily Mail. “If he documents their strained relationship in the book, it could be very damaging at a time when Charles is laying the foundations for becoming king,” the insider outlines the fears behind the palace walls and especially for the queen. Prince Harry’s currently untitled book is set to be published at the end of 2022. A long period of uncertainty that is a long time coming from the Windsors.
