Royal Couple Denounce ‘Deranged Conspiracy’ in New Book

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have issued a powerful statement in response to a new book by author Tom Bower, which they describe as a 'fixation' and a 'deranged conspiracy'. The book, titled 'Betrayal: Power, Deceit and the Fight for the Future of the Royal Family', has sparked a strong reaction from the royal couple.

In a scathing critique, the Sussexes criticized Bower's fixation on them, stating that his commentary has crossed the line from criticism into an unhealthy obsession. They highlighted his public statements, suggesting the monarchy's survival relies on erasing the Sussexes from public life.

The book, set to be released later this month, includes extracts that claim Queen Camilla once expressed concern about Meghan's influence on Harry, saying, 'Meghan's brainwashed ‌Harry.' It also suggests that the Prince and Princess of Wales considered Meghan a threat, leading to the Sussexes' decision to move to the US.

The Sussexes' statement, released on Saturday, refutes these claims, emphasizing Bower's tendency to construct elaborate theories about people he has never met. They encourage those seeking facts to look elsewhere, while those interested in conspiracy and melodrama will find his work appealing.

The book also delves into Harry's reaction to the downfall of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. It claims that Harry fears King William could remove their titles and banish him from Britain.

Furthermore, the book alleges a tense reconciliation meeting between Meghan and William, where Meghan reportedly told William to remove his finger from her face. Bower also discusses the couple's Netflix deal and their appearance at the Invictus Games, a sports tournament for wounded military personnel founded by Harry.

The Sussexes have been vocal about their struggles with the media, with Harry accusing the Daily Mail's publisher of invasive surveillance and Meghan criticizing the newspaper for reporting from her father's bedside.
