Alleged statement from them on Bower's new book:

Their only defence is to attack Bower personally rather than challenge him on the facts.

ThePoshUns · 14/03/2026 09:20

Of course they have to clap back. As Ever.

Oooh they’re rattled!

If he was the nut-job conspiracy theorist that they are stating he is, why give a statement? Why give it air? You’d just ignore it!

The can’t help themselves. They’ve just revealed that what’s he’s written touches a nerve….perhaps because it’s true?

Also….hes not actually saying anything that hasn’t in some way or form, been commented upon. He just goes into more detail and collates it all together for easy reading and understanding.

Twats.

Also they’ve resorted to the MAGA school of denials….which is childishly launch personal attacks….not actually refute…with actual facts…what has been said about them.

Mr Bower’s commentary has long crossed the line from criticism into fixation.

Interesting that they avoid saying it has crossed the line into 'fiction', which would be a more obvious ending to that sentence.

CreamolaFoam26 · 14/03/2026 09:44

What was written by TB has obviously hit home. Yikes!

You missed the Face of Dior.

But I'll forgive you because there ate too many to remember now.

And Oprahs milestone birthday - supposedly besties but H&M were NFI - and that was very close to the ‘bombshell’ interview.

They don’t realise that they are just a commodity - that other people will choose to use or engage with or not depending their business aims. Both Sandros and Winfrey are just keep their early investment warm to get a second bite of the cherry from MM (as she will be the bigger ticket given her outsiders view) on the inevitable divorce - that MM will trigger once the marital pot runs dry and her only source or revenue stream is a divorce saga expose.

Exactly. They’ve basically endorsed the book. He might as well put that quote on the front cover!

They’re obviously not listening to the experts around them if they’re doing nonsense like this. That or they have no experts around them because of their financial situation.

Fixation is a theme they know well of course.

Thanks for the share link @ThePoshUns

How is it acceptable for none of the wheelchair basketball team to be wheelchair users?

It’s terrible, not a level playing field at all

NewAgeNewMe · 14/03/2026 10:01

That statement from the Sussexes is more interesting by what it doesn’t say, then what it does.

thank you @ThePoshUns & @catspyjamas1

Puzzledandpissedoff · 14/03/2026 10:04

Meghan at the Coronation (she even added it to her IMDB page as a "forthcoming appearance"
The "Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II" is still on her IMDB as a "TV special"

This is downright pitiful in its ignorance, vulgarity and total lack of understanding, and such a clear indication of the inadequacy of the person concerned

As for the clapback to Bower's latest book, why bother? As with the above, once someone's shown exactly who they are it's a bit pointless to start denying it, and trying just makes them look even more of a fool

Should be a very easy next step then with this highly litigious pair - a libel / defamation case surely?

Done and dusted - should even have been able to prevent publication.

But wait - why have they not done that already with his first book, or all or the separate independent investigations on her bullying behaviour?

NewAgeNewMe · 14/03/2026 10:21

Well we know the answer to that one, whatever some may say.

Rhaidimiddim · 14/03/2026 10:25

You have to wonder, when you hear stuff like that, whether she is now trolling the RF, rather than imitating them.

She is doing s fine job of parodying and devaluing the RF engsgement-with-the-public model.

NewAgeNewMe · 14/03/2026 10:27

Along with the yorks to be fair.

Guest385 · 14/03/2026 10:41

That statement is odd, why say anything, why not send in the lawyers? All they have done is increased TB sales. They must be fuming to release that.

Guess they really are running out of cash.

Pleasealexa · 14/03/2026 11:12

As well as fixation Vs fiction, they say elaborate theories as opposed to lies.

If it lies wouldn't you just say that or would that risk them being sued??

Edited

The usual word salad - which in their delusional and grandiose minds believes is a smart, pithy put down.

BUT - they are just handing the press/public the bullets to shoot them with - can’t wait for the memes, the witty comments ridiculing and exposing their drivel.

They inadvertently light their own fires.

Total fools - but deliciously entertaining!

I find their reactions much more fascinating than anything TB has to say.

CathyorClaire · 14/03/2026 11:33

That statement is odd, why say anything, why not send in the lawyers?

There were some pretty explosive claims in 'Revenge' IIRC.

Despite their famous taste for litigation they didn't sue then and I think this foot stamping is the furthest they'll go on this book.

I don't doubt the publisher's lawyers will have crawled all over it before allowing a serialisation.

Thedom · 14/03/2026 11:41

Yeah, no suggestions of sending in the lawyers, obviously they are unable to dispute any of it !!

What been written so far all rings true anyway.

Lunde · 14/03/2026 11:44

Their usual strategy of using the charity to defend them is also in evidence (like them trying to insist that Sentebale defend Meghan after the Polo fiasco). But Invictus continues to undermine their own arguments by allowing the IG to be the Meghan & Harry show.

A spokesperson for the Invictus Games Foundation said: "It is disappointing to see The Times give prominence to commentary that appears driven by a long-established agenda rather than a genuine understanding of the Invictus Games and the community it supports. The Foundation exists to support the recovery and rehabilitation of wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans from around the world.
"Attempts to question the legitimacy of competitors or diminish the experiences of those living with both physical injuries and invisible wounds such as PTSD are deeply disrespectful to the men and women the Games were created for.
"The focus should remain where it belongs - on the courage, recovery and camaraderie of those who have served."
