It's out next week, titled 'Revenge'. I've ordered it already!

Has he ever, even met MM irl? Let alone talk to her?
Last time I checked, he took forever to release it, because his dirt digging was not going so well. Guess he decided to make it up then.

Samcro · 13/07/2022 13:59

no doubt it will be full of made up bullshit that will be quoted as truth.

dogmandu · 13/07/2022 16:15

I don't think he'll be daft enough to print lies.

notanotheroneagain · 13/07/2022 18:13

He's been daft enough to go on TV and tell lies, and he doesn't seem to care even when presenters call him out on it.

CathyorClaire · 13/07/2022 20:22

It's £22 Shock

Better be huge porkies insights for that kind of dosh Grin

Out of interest, has he ever been sued by the litigious duo?

CourtneeLuv · 13/07/2022 20:24

Not yet, but no doubt he will be soon.

Lolliesareonme · 13/07/2022 20:32

I see it’s called Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors.

Maybe it’s about the whole lot of them.

Mumsnut · 14/07/2022 00:44

Maybe they’ll bond over it …..

So, before it even has a publication date the true-believers know it is lies.

SmileyFaces12 · 14/07/2022 13:43

Actually it does have a publication date - 21st July next week.

I feel like there are thousands of people in the world who are much more interesting than these two and the royal family. Why on earth would anyone read a book about this? I don't get it.

Maybe. He's never been sued for anything he's written before though I believe...

Rumour was he was waiting for a release date for Harry's book and he'd release it at a similar time for maximum impact.

Porridgealert · 14/07/2022 14:32

Like everyone else on here, I don't know what the book will be about. There might be lies in it. But as Meghan has lied in the past, even under oath, maybe Bower thinks that's just how the Sussexes roll and he's just fitting in with them?

What, you tabloids running out of criticism of H&M.

Harry is not releasing a book in July last I heard.

Oh dear. Poor you. So tired. Save your finger and don't bother responding then. 😅

@notanotheroneagain the release date for Harry's book hasn't be released yet but my understanding that the release date of this book was unexpected

He may never have been sued (maybe that is why he thinks he can get away with anything). He has however, been criticised and called out right on the spot by for lies.

"Those of us who report on politics are at liberty to express, within limits, whatever opinions we like. These limits include an obligation to observe standards. We should strive to be accurate. We can make strong arguments but ought not to distort the truth or suppress relevant information to make our point.

Writer Tom Bower fails catastrophically to meet these standards. It is not only that Dangerous Hero: Corbyn's Ruthless Plot For Power, his new book on Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, contains numerous falsehoods. It systematically omits relevant facts in order to portray Corbyn as a ruthless Marxist and anti-semite hell-bent on destroying Western liberal values..............."

How could anyone run out reasons to criticise? They are the gift that keeps giving. And you can only yawn....

It was just recently reported that Harry's book is not on the release list this year, that is why there was speculation for next year or when Charles takes over.

LondonWolf · 14/07/2022 18:06

Hmm, he wrote about Richard Branson and Simon Cowell and while they had a bit of a moan, they still didn't sue him. You'd think people would wouldn't you? Especially wealthy, usually litigious people like that. We know M likes to bring a court case so maybe she will be the first Smile

LondonWolf · 14/07/2022 18:07

Also wasn't he a barrister too? So presumably knows legally what he can get away with.

Probably, so knows how to stay just on the right side not to get that lawsuit.

Harry's book wasn't on promotional material advertising future releases but I read that sometimes books are still released even though their release date hasn't been announced months in advance.
