Royal biographer Tom Bower has confirmed plans for a follow-up to his controversial 2022 bestseller Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors, promising fresh revelations that delve deeper into the ongoing turmoil surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
According to Bower, the couple’s life in California has not brought the peace they once sought, but rather intensified internal struggles and deepened tensions with the Royal Family. He claims their relationship is now at a critical point, shaped by persistent battles for recognition, influence, and, increasingly, revenge.
The biographer, known for his unfiltered portrayals of high-profile figures such as Tony Blair and the Beckhams, stated that his upcoming book will explore new material that sheds light on the couple’s fractured ties with Prince Harry’s family, their diverging ambitions, and the psychological toll of their transition from royalty to celebrity.
Prince Harry, now 40, is reportedly still seeking reconciliation with King Charles III and the rest of the Royal Family. However, Bower suggests that Meghan Markle, 43, is focused on carving out a powerful public identity in the U.S., with aspirations of billionaire-level fame and financial security—priorities he argues are misaligned with her husband’s more traditional upbringing and values.
Tensions are said to be rising as Meghan pursues her ambitions in Hollywood and beyond, while Harry remains caught between two worlds: his royal heritage and his new life in the U.S., which Bower claims he struggles to fully understand.
The couple’s strained relationship with Buckingham Palace has only worsened since their official departure from royal duties in 2020. According to Bower, the path to reconciliation is virtually impossible, due in part to what he describes as “irreconcilable anger” harbored by Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales.
In addition to exploring personal conflicts, the book will touch on recent turmoil at Harry’s charity, Sentebale, which he co-founded in 2006 in memory of his mother, Princess Diana. Reports of internal disputes and leadership struggles within the organization have further complicated Harry’s public image.
Bower contends that both Harry and Meghan have been deeply wounded by the relentless media scrutiny and personal criticism they’ve endured since stepping away from royal life—but insists that their combative response has only added fuel to the fire.
Describing them as “relentless and restless,” Bower claims their constant drive to fight back and shape the narrative of their lives is at the heart of their ongoing challenges.
Filming deals, podcast ventures, and public appearances have kept the couple in the spotlight, yet critics argue their influence is waning. According to Bower, the lack of the global status Meghan desires and the dwindling symbolic power of Harry’s royal connection have left the couple increasingly isolated—both from the Royal Family and from the American establishment they once sought to join.
As anticipation builds for Bower’s next publication, royal watchers are bracing for another round of revelations that could further shape public perception of one of the world’s most closely watched couples.
