ROYAL NEWS 'MEGHAN'S AN INTELLIGENT OPERATOR'

As the Duke of Sussex addressed the United Nations last week to discuss climate change, his wife Meghan looking on in support, the couple no doubt expected to make news around the world. And they did. But not, perhaps, in the way they’d hoped.

While some headlines highlighted Prince Harry’s stance on the future of the planet, most column inches were filled with spectacular revelations from new biography Revenge: Meghan, Harry And The War Between The Windsors.

Written by journalist Tom Bower, who interviewed about 80 sources close to the couple for the unauthorised biography, the book paints an unflattering picture of the Sussexes who, just four years ago, delighted the nation when they wed in a beautiful ceremony at St George’s Chapel in Windsor.

As a caveat, Tom admitted those who helped with the book were people who were less fond of couple. “She made it pretty clear to all her friends and people who work for her not to talk to me, so it was quite an uphill struggle,” he said.

Tom’s book sets out to reveal the “truth of who Meghan Markle is” and “what she seeks to achieve from her new and extreme level of power”.

Speaking exclusively to OK! about the controversial biography, the former BBC reporter explains, “I’m fascinated by the power that Meghan has been able to assume. In my opinion, she’d taken too many chances in telling her story. The public needs to know the truth.”
