He's well known in the UK for being a borderline fraud and for doing extremely biased "takedowns" of high profile individuals. You're clearly not a Brit.

These books are older but read Diana Chronicales also by Tina Brown and if you haven't read it yet, read the Andrew Morton book on Princess Diana that started everything.

Google exists outside Britain, so why don’t you post some evidence of this? He’s written several unauthorized biographies, which the subjects obviously consider to be “biased takedowns” since they didn’t participate (and presumably didn’t allow people close to them to participate). That doesn’t make them inaccurate.

He’s a former BBC journalist and also a former lawyer, so he knows how to conduct interviews and verify sources. I haven’t seen any evidence of a successful lawsuit against him (several losses, though) despite writing about high profile individuals with every incentive and resource to sue and appeal if necessary. And he’s been interviewed on multiple major British news channels (including an appearance on Good Morning Britain) about the book last week. If he’s well known as a “borderline fraud”, query why that’s the case.

Currently reading Tom Bower and it’s delicious. It’s not fiction and he puts in footnotes of all his sources.

He’s been sued and won every single time. Why are you posting nonsense? If you don’t like the book, don’t read it.

Tom Bower's book is fiction. You all are so gullible.

No- he is very good about verifying sources. Not fiction.


No, he's literally been called out for several factual inaccuracies in his book already.


A VF journalist (who interviewed Meghan once) who was quoted in the book released a statement saying his statements were taken out of context. If you read what he said, he didn’t actually deny making them. Bower responded by saying he sent the excerpts to the VF journalist and also walked him through the quotations in the book, and at neither point did the VF journalist object. I’m going to trust Bower on that one.

How would you know that? If it’s fiction, the Sussexes (who are highly litigious) will sue and win. Let’s see if that happens. Not holding my breath.
