Meghan Markle: Vanity Fair journalist denies claims Duchess of Sussex pointed out his 'stutter' and 'played him'

The contributing editor at Vanity Fair has quashed claims made by a royal biographer in an explosive new book, alleging that Meghan Markle made him feel 'manipuated' when he interviewed her. Tom Bower's latest biography 'Revenge: Meghan and Harry and the war between the Windsors' was released this week and contains big claims about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Last week, Vanity Fair's Sam Kashner slammed the biography for containing extraordinary suggestions about his cover story interview with Meghan in 2017, The Mirror reports. The interview took place in Meghan's Toronto flat and Mr Bower claimed in his biography that the Duchess-to-be made insulting comments about Mr Kashner's way of speaking.

These claims were published as part of an excerpt from the biography in The Times last weekend, which detailed how Meghan had allegedly told Mr Kashner she liked him because of his stutter, which made her feel he was 'not like a typical journalist'. Mr Bower wrote in the book that this left Vanity Fair's contributing editor wondering if he was 'being played'.
