A spokesperson for Prince Harry and Meghan said Bower had 'long crossed the line from criticism into fixation.' They stated in a statement on Saturday: 'This is someone who has publicly stated, ''the monarchy in fact depends on actually obliterating the Sussexes from our state of life,'' language that speaks for itself. He has made a career out of constructing ever more elaborate theories about people he does not know and has never met.'
The extracts touch on topics including Harry and Meghan's relationship with Prince William and Catherine, and their business and charitable dealings since stepping down as working royals in 2020. Bower claims that tensions between the Sussexes and William and Catherine had escalated prior to their departure from the UK.
The book also refers to the Invictus Games, an international sporting event for wounded veterans founded by Harry in 2014, as 'the Meghan Games.' A spokesperson for the Invictus Games Foundation described Bower's description of the event as 'disrespectful' and 'offensive,' stating that it questions the legitimacy of competitors or diminishes the experiences of those living with both physical injuries and invisible wounds such as PTSD.
