MEGHAN Markle has “trampled” on others on her way to the top and her “victims” will tell all in a new book by famed investigative journalist Tom Bower.
In an exclusive interview with GB News he revealed that he has just finished writing a book about the duchess which will contain the “untold story” about her and will include “quite extraordinary” new information.
Asked by GB News host Mark Dolan about the status of his book, Mr Bower said: “Well, in fact, I’ve finished it and it will be out very soon.
“It is a story, an untold story. I have found out things which are really quite extraordinary about her.
“And I think that the public perception of her will be either confirmed or outraged, or in any case, it’ll be a great surprise.”
He said: “It has turned out to be…a very, very hard slog because people were pretty reluctant to speak and she and her lawyers had done very well to keep people silent, but I got through [to] enough.
“And it’s a great story. It is an astonishing story of a woman who came from nothing and is now a world figure and has trampled on all those others on the way which is classic for the sort of people I always choose, whether it’s a politician or a tycoon.
“The victims are keen to talk and they have spoken. And it’s a really gripping story.”
He was speaking during a live interview on Mark Dolan Tonight and described how leading figures in the business world have spent millions trying to stop publication of his biographies.
He said: “Robert Maxwell, I think there were 11 writs. Richard Desmond fought me in court and after two weeks lost – that cost him £4.5 million.
“Richard Branson sued me twice and lost as well. Bernie Eccleston said he would sue me and then he agreed that it wasn’t worth it and we should be friends.
“There’s no shortage of people who are trying to stop me writing.”
Mr Bower’s latest book is about Prime Minister Boris Johnson, whose career he said has been saved by Russian president Vladimir Putin.
He also described Johnson as one of the “luckiest politicians in post-war Britain” but said he is hampered by an “unstable” home life.
He said: “He does play or to win. Sometimes he wins, sometimes he loses, but like all gamblers he’s never put off from losing. If he loses, he just tries again.
“And the point is what’s so fascinating that on this particular issue at the moment, Partygate, where I would have thought if there hadn’t been the Ukraine war, that Boris was going to fall, because he hadn’t told the truth in Parliament.
“Along comes Putin to save him. And now along comes Starmer and Beergate which is going to deflect again, the spotlight away from Boris.”
Mr Bower added that “he’s also become a weaker man than he was, I think, when he was mayor.
“And the point is that he, he’s domestic life – I don’t think he’s very stable and I don’t think that he has actually at the moment got a convincing ideology.
“He has failed to continue to have a dialogue with the public, which was one of his great achievements as mayor was that he always was able to talk to the people and they understood him and he has lost that ability.”
