Just saw this on Twitter. Thought it was a fake link but the book was just released for preorder on several UK bookstores, including Amazon.

Weird, though, that there’s no news of its release. Just popped up on UK book sites.

I thought the book was a biography of Meghan, not a book on Harry and .Meghan and their feud with the Windsors.

I think this is a troll fake.

Well I'm excited.

It says "Available in 8 days!" (21 July - it's already 13 July in the UK as I type this)

Apparently there was a hashtag "PrinceHarryIsARacist" because Meghan hid her diamonds when she was in Africa, assuming they'd steal. So why not "Meghan is a racist" then? Did Harry have diamonds to hide?

I want a "Free Harry" hashtag to trend. People WOULD be interested in his interviews, articles, books, IF he was telling the story of the hell he's been living and what a complete fuck-up he has been since 2018 or whenever he hooked up with her and ignored his brother's (and likely father's) warnings.

It's your only way out, Haz!!!!!!! Everybody loves a repentent prodigal son!

A search of the internet brings up not a thing.

No title, let alone one called REVENGE, no mocked up cover, nothing nada zero zilch.

The book is a biography of Meghan. The Suissez/Windsor shit has already been done by Tina Brown, Robert Lacey, Andrew Morron . . .

The Bower book is an in-depth bio of Meghan, just Meghan.

I'm calling bullshit on this with an easily done up mockup of a cover.

Not - one - single - solitary - mention - of - this - assertion - anywhere.

Oh, Lady C and Dylan Howard also did the Meghan Harry book thing.

Bower wouldn't be so stupid as to jump on that tired bandwagon as the last one on the train.

A search of Amazon: no Bower bio on Meghan, no Bpwer book on Meghan and Harry, no pre-order offer . .

Let me put it this way: if it IS legit, then I'm going to be very disappointed.

Like we on DL don't already know just about everything there is to know about what a psycho bitch Meghan is and what spilt vicious mental turd wipe Harry is.

We probably could have written the book if it's just another rehash of recent history.

I was looking for something along the lines of his other biographies, from childhood up. Yeah, we expected some juice from the bullying shit.

But ffs, another rehash of the lies, the Oprah shit, the titles, Megxit .

Ffs.

I'll end up flipping through the pages trying to find something Lacey, Brown, Morton, Lady CC, Dylan Howard., et all., haven't already put out there. Just the way I did with the Brown book, a waste of my proverbial hard-earned.

^Apologies to OP, it does appear to be legit, and I'm disgusted.

Crap it looks like every other dzmn book on them that's come out over the last two years.

It's just promising to be nastier and openly slanted against Meghan as far as he can get away with legally, not the proper, probing bio that was touted.

Even the sub-heading has the same tone as the other books.

Die in a grease fire, Bower. This looks like just another long tabloid article dressed up as a serious book.

The Brown book went easy on Meghan, so I think it's a good time to slam her down. Hopefully this book will do it. (I don't know about the others but didn't they predate some of the more recent shit - like Harry's interview about his meeting with the queen and her not having the right people around her? the photographers they took to request an official photo of the Queen and Lilibet and then them flying off in the middle of the Jubbly, apparently in a snit after the supposed birthday party wasn't attended by... oh you know - lots of shit since earlier books)

And I think the public has turned more against her (and even him, the "bellend" now)

So, what does the title "Revenge" refer to?

1. Is it the revenge of people Harry's wife screwed over over the years who are now getting their chance to tell the tale? (Might we get the truth of any Northwestern or high school stories?)

2. Is it Harry's revenge against his family? And his brother for being born first?

3. Is it Harry's wife's revenge against the UK for not making her Diana 2.0?

4. Is it from Harry's wife's previous husband or husbands and how they were devalued and discarded?

Or what?

I have to laugh at people who think Harry and Meghan are these amazing and inspirational humanitarians. I'm not one of those "Meghan is the devil and Harry is insane" types, I find them more funny than anything else. But really, all one has to do is some basic research to see that Meghan is a fame hungry, super ambitious person who is ruthless in using people to her own advantage and dumping them the minute they've served their purpose. And Harry, well he's a mess. I mean the idea that he now sees himself as some kind of mental health expert is comedy gold really.

Lets be real here, Meghan has no real friends, she has alienated both her biological family and her in laws. She dropped her first husband via the mail, she dumped her long-time partner in Toronto for Harry. She dumped all her Toronto friends shortly after she moved to the UK. She dumped all her college friends once she got on suits etc. Harry at least had life long friends prior to meeting Meghan but now he's not on speaking terms with any of them either. I mean there is only so long you can deny that you're the problem not everyone else.

I would have some respect for them if they just told the truth for once and said "yeah, royal life was boring a hell. So we moved to America to make a shit load of money" and stop with this whole "one act of compassion at a time."

You lot know Bower did a hatchet job on Charles, too, right?

Total hatchet job.

Faded into the mists of time without making a dent in Charles' life. It isn't that it wasn't true: it's that these tabloid style books don't age well.

This, I would guess, going to be the fate of this one, as well (and Harry's, and whoever is next on the line trying to make bank on the Windsors).

It would be wonderful if the book would really fuck Meghan up and ruin her chances at winning the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the Oscars, but . . .

I dunno, with the exception of a few (and credit where due), Brown's earlier book on Diana, The Diana Chronicles, is an exception.

Morton's book was called, Meghan and the Unmasking of the Monarchy. Who remembers it today? No one.

And, for what it's worth, there is already a treatise out on the Bower book on Amazon:

Amazon / Kindle - you should be ashamed for selling this badly written and uninformative document.

It is a con. The title is entirely misleading.

It has nothing to say about the forthcoming book, which is not easily available in the media.

Grammar is appalling, and the content is a rehash of old, mostly sycophantic articles.

We'll see, R39, regarding fading into the mists of time. If this book *is* just a bitchier rehash of all the other books that were already rehashes of the Harry and Meghan x BRF drama, then that seems likely. If he's really got the goods, though, I think it could be a much bigger deal than the Charles book for the simple reason that people have much stronger feelings about the Sussexes than they do about Charles. People - and the tabloids - are thirsty for the Sussexes to have their PR-enabled bubble popped. If he has, for example, gotten one of the bullying victims (or Jessica Mulroney) to talk, and to talk forthrightly and at length, that will be a huge deal in the media. I bet the editor of the Daily Mail feels like he's edging right now.

Here's hoping Bower really has the goods. I am about 50/50 on whether or not he does.

Also why is someone psycho attacking R16 and R20? I feel like it might be the same person who came after me the way normal people come after child molestors when I dared to express that I don't find Meghan physically ugly. There are a couple of people here in, who are technically on the same side I am, that really need to calm the fuck down.

Maybe he should launch a suit against the Home Office for 24/7 armed protection as he goes on PR interviews foe the book, against Meghan's lunatic fans.

Who knows what the inclusion of the senior royals on the cover means? It *could* mean (though I really hope it doesn't) that this IS a rehash of the Windsor Wars. Or it could mean someone in the marketing and promo department at the publishers thought it would sell better without a solo image of Meghan.

For the British, the sight of William, Charles and the Queen walking through a garden, and alongside the world’s leaders, represented the monarchy’s enduring strength, and William and Kate represented its future. The Windsors felt reassured by the international accolades. Their future public appearances were carefully scheduled and inserted on to a grid, building up to a climax later that year in New York. Their own royal event was planned to consolidate their status in America.

So basically she was so jealous of Kate they cooked up the NYC tour so they could pretend they mattered on the world stage..lol

So, the Vanity fair interviewer told Bower that a flirtatious Meghan had referred him to Serena as a friend, but that when he contacted Serena, she denied being anything more than an aquaintance and gave him an enigmatic quote: “You’ve got to be who you are, Meghan. You can’t hide.” Kashner’s unease grew."

That was in the summer of 2016. By the following winter Serena was throwing a half-a-million dollar baby shower for Meghan in NYC?

It's worth noting some essential context that isn't included in this excerpt: that Serena is, like Meghan, represented by Sunshine Sachs.

She really doesn't have any real friends, does she? That denial from Serena is epic.

by Anonymousreply 69July 15, 2022 9:45 PM

Well, so far, the tidbits are "juicy" enough, but this is hardly, so far, a biography of Meghan.

The most interesting bits are how Meghan has been lying for years about that UN/P&G "victory", and the Vanity Fair cover article, and that the VF said it would neve work with her again. And, how VF changed the date given for when she started dating Harry, moving it up three months to cover up that she was still with the hot Toronto chef when a better opportunity came along.

I'm somewhat suspicious of Bower knowing that the Queen said, "Thank God Meghan isn't coming," to the funeral, because that would indicate that one or more of the Queen's most trusted aides talked to Bower, which I somehow find difficult to believe.

Also, the bits about Charles being so angry with Harry that he's really done with him, if true, are interesting, because all the rumours were that Charles was a soft touch who was still funding Harry.

But for the most part, the extracts ring true so far as what we've seen and surmised about Meghan.

The dark card in all this, to me, is still Harry, not Meghan. She's a known quantity and very little that Bower can say about her would surprise most of us here.

But Harry's motivation, his pathological will to harm his family, his incessant acting out and (despite his boasts to the contrary), his inability to move on from his childhood . . . to me, those are far more interesting and probably won't get much of a look-see by Bower.

For me, to a certain extent, Meghan is always blocking the view re Harry. He's by far the more interesting parti here. She's the camouflage, and in that sense, I'm tired of her.

Let's face it: she's the easy target. Harry is the harder one to nail accurately. But he's the real engine here.

Clever boy, to attach a woman to act as the lightning rod.

Remember in Absolutely Fabulous where Patsy claims to be close friends with Britt Ekland, Zandra Rhodes and Erin O'Connor? Then later on they either claim to barely know her or not at all? Meghan's highly disputed claim of being Serena's BFF brought back that memory.

Celebrities have (or should have) a lot of experience weeding out psychos and con artists like her. The fact that the British Royal Family initially fell for her bullshit long enough for her to get Harry down the aisle is ironic and quite sad.

Harry is pretty easy to figure out R70. He's furious that he was not born first, and thus of lesser importance, that he is willing to weaponize his dead mother, his children, and use Meghan all to hurl bombs to hurt his family. Meghan got away with all she did, because Harry co-signed all of it. You can't tell me she wouldn't have towed the line if Harry felt happy, and secure slowly falling down the line of succession. He just happened to find a crazy woman, who was more that happy to go to battle with him. Her reasons, and his are both fame, and jealousy about not being #1. Lucky for us, they are so fucking messy about it.

The mud these two will sling to deflect from the book and smear everyone will be epic. I predict they will resurrect William cheating on Kate rumors, they will probably accuse Charles of cheating on Camilla and also allude to Phillip's philandering. They might throw in some DV just to burn the house down. Of course they won't say a thing about Andrew which I still find odd and makes me rather believe the yachting rumors.

R74 - I disagree. Harry is easy to describe, but not so easy to figure out. I don't buy that it was being born second. Something was wrong with that kid from early childhood. I think it goes back to Diana and the relationship between Harry and Diana has never been given its due because people are too busy buying into the easy stuff about her death, being the spare, yadda yadda yadda.

I think Diana is the key to Harry, not William and not Charles - and certainly not Meghan.

Meghan is an acting out mechanism, nothing more.

But Diana is the real woman in Harry's life: she's got him by the short hairs and he refuses to exorcise her. It's, like, totally Sophoclean.

That she came out of that harebrained scheme unscathed was luck more than anything else. If that judge hadn't granted her the Summary Judgement (and he did so in the face of a defendant who made it clear they wanted to defend themselves), she would have been fuuuuuucked by a trial. None of those friends who """spontaneously""" went to People magazine to sing Meghan's praises wanted to be put on the stand, and they were leaking as much all over the place. Even WITH the summary judgement it still came out she lied to the court about her cooperation with Omid Scoobie.

r83 I think he is stuck in immature love of his mother rather than real or realistic love. I think he has her on a pedestal as a saint and blameless victim at some level were as I think William loves his mother warts and all with her flaws known and understood. Ultimately loving someone warts and all without a pedestal of sainthood is much healthier and more truthful/ realistic.

I think that is part of what is going on.

I agree with you, R83. It's much deeper than "jealous of big bro who will be king" (although I imagine he is probably a little jealous) and I think it centers on Mummy as well. Harry is probably a born fuck-up, but then he lost his mum at a very bad age (old enough to understand what was happening, not old enough to handle or process it) and since then his entire life appears to have revolved around finding a woman who would help him re-enact his childhood trauma. His finding, marrying and having kids with her will be the mistake and the singular act of his life.

He's ultimately trying to fix something (the loss of his mother) that cannot be fixed (Diana cannot be saved retroactively). On top of that Diana and Charles were both awful, neglectful, selfish, self-obsessed fucking losers as parents and the entire family culture was not equipped to deal with problems like Harry's.

This makes me sound sympathetic - I'm not. He's a grown man and his decision to have children with Meghan Markle was his own. Everything he's done since he was 18 is on him.

R108 correct! She easily could have complimented him on his writing of past VF articles. (In fairness, many she did but it’s more fun for Bower to point out the stuttering comment.)

Love the jab from the VF writer that every book ever written about England was positioned strategically around her apartment, but he doubted she’d ever cracked one of them. Clearly an attempt to remind him to ask her about Harry even though he was told not to by her publicists.

by Anonymousreply 124July 17, 2022 12:16 PM

^^ and ^ Whilst I doubt very much H is at immediate risk, I would guess that his mental state is more vulnerable self-destruction than Meghan's. Meghan is a classic figher/survivor. Her claims of being suicidal given her penchant for lies, corruption, vindictiveness, and, above all, self-regard, were in my view hilarious.

Whilst Harry certainly shares those traits with her, his stem from deep emotional damage, ties to feelings of worthlessness, frustration, despair, and intense conflict.

Meghan isn't conflicted at all: she's always been Centre First or Bust, and she's much tougher and harder.

But Harry's conflict re his family and his country are rather obvious. There isn't any resolution possible here, as he continues to conduct his life solely on acting out those conflicts, instead of moving beyond them (those lawsuits against the UK government re his security status scream those conflicts loud enough to be heard in Outer Space).

I could envisage a point at which, if things go awry enough, Harry's mental state deteriorates dangerously beyond.

His blood family, i.e., the Queen, his father, and his brother, I suspect know that as nothing has seemed to move Harry from his perch of paranoid rage, there isn't much they can do except keep him and Meghan as far from their own families and lives.

It is tragic, and it probably isn't easy at last to accept that there really isn't anything you can do to help or make things better except for continuing to feed the person's dangerously inflated view of what he is owed, coddle him, keep the fingers crossed . . .

Because that's what they did throughout Harry's youth. When he left with Lion Tamer Meghan holding the reins, Harry was doomed.

Whether that leads to early death no one can predict, but if it does, it will most assuredly be Harry, not Meghan, finally breaking the internet with Haxit.

Suppose Kashner himself had made some little allusion such as "oops haha sorry, I have this little stutter as you may have noticed" and Meghan politely replied, "Oh no, it's charming, I actually like it!" Not saying that was how it went, obviously I have no idea, but it could have, and then gotten twisted into "I like your stutter." We all know that shit happens.

R95 do you have a link to that video??

She was vaguely known in Toronto pre Harry only because she was with Corey the chef. He was the famous one (in Toronto terms, which means she was unknown outside the city). Through Coreys work and connections she had access to the Mulroneys and other “elites” and political heavyweights of Toronto/Canada. Then ultimately ran into Harry at some event. The whole blind date story she cooked up is hilariously ridiculous.

Two incidents that to me showed her true colours were 1) on her wedding day as she was exiting the car outside the church an older gentleman, some sort of valet or aide put out his hand to help her and she literally slapped it away hard. Like a child. 2) at one of the balcony events (trooping the colour perhaps) it was an extremely hot day and one of the soldiers on horseback fainted/fell off his horse. Catherine and everyone else looked horrified and worried. Meghan started laughing as if it was the funniest thing ever.

She can't dress properly because she has no waist, an abundance of backfat, a flat chest and chicken legs. I doubt she even fits into off the rack or ready to wear designer labels properly. There's a photo on the internet somewhere of her in jeans and a top and there's barely any difference between the width of her chest, waist and hips. It's actually quite shocking that she thinks she's so sexy.

Obviously she never looks at other women's bodies and compares herself to them, noticing where she's different. In that red gala gown, her love handles oozed at the waist. What she wore to the NAACP awards worked much better than most things she wears. She should go back to that designer

It's Kate's behaviour toward Meghan that is telling the real story behind the walkabout charade. Both William and Harry have to put on the professional image, the whole world is watching for their every move in the few moments they are together. William is obviously the alpha and is leading anodyne conversation with harry as they approach the throngs of well-wishers. But notice Kate doesn't do more than a trite acknowledgement to Meghan, then not a word between them. While William and Harry have to play to the cameras, Kate, in her silence are telling the world that the draw-bridge is up as far as reconciliation. The mutual walk of the Cambridge's and the Sussex's probably came about with Meghan throwing a fit about being marginalized, and when Harry and Meghan suggested that they would do a solo walk (with US Network tv crew in tow, of course), well William probably lowered the boom and said that he and Kate would accompany, with their full security. It will be interesting to see the seating position for the funeral. Meghan will throw a fit again if she's seated anywhere but with senior Royals. Hope they tell her (and Harry for that matter) to get on a plane home if they don't like it.

Watch how Kate 'doesn't' interact with Meghan through the week to get the real sentiment of the Sussex's standing in Royal circles.
