Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have branded Tom Bower's forthcoming biography Betrayal: Power, Deceit and the Fight for the Future of the Royal Family a 'deranged conspiracy and melodrama', their spokesman declared over the weekend of 14-15 March 2026. The couple's fierce rebuttal targets excerpts published in The Times that weekend, which level explosive claims against them from the veteran royal author. Bower, known for his forensic takedowns of high-profile figures, accuses Meghan of 'brainwashing' Harry, according to an alleged confidence from Queen Camilla to a friend.
