Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have had the “worst” happen, according to royal biographer Tom Bower – and the Sussexes are now said to be “desperate”. Bower, who has just written a new book about the couple entitled Betrayal: Power, Deceit and the Fight for the Future of the Royal Family, appeared on GB News with Jacob Rees-Mogg to lay out his views on the situation.
Bower said: “When I finished my last bool on them, called Revenge, they were about to become really famous and very rich with a Netflix series, the Oprah Winfrey interview, Harry’s book an amazing bestseller, all the rest of it. And after that was the slow decline as Hollywood and America and the rest of the world became somewhat tired of their grievances and became sceptical.
“The worst thing of all happened, of course, to Meghan – she wanted to invent herself as a domestic goddess and her two Netflix series just crashed. The sale of her flower sprinkles and wines and jams and all that did not take off.”
He added: “So now the book really is about their bid, over the last five years, to stay on top – whether it’s in royal tours in Columbia and Nigeria, whether it’s about the making of the Netflix series…
He went on to say: “The real thing is that they want to come back. They want to stand next to King Charles at the Birmingham Invictus Games, and that is a real problem for the Royal Family.”
Rees-Mogg asked him: “How do you think the British people will react if they do come back?” and Bower replied with a curt: “Badly.”
The presenter pressed further: “They won’t be welcomed with open arms, forgiven?” and that answer, too, was simple: “No.”
