Author Tom Bower is reported to be soon beginning a year-long research project into the Duchess of Sussex, which will culminate in the publication of a new tell-all book — for which he has agreed to a six-figure deal.
Omid Scobie, who has ties to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, decided to address the leaked news about the book with a comment that many are calling racist.
The author behind Finding Freedom, the royal biography of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, tweeted: “Oh good, another angry white guy writing about Meghan Markle.”
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently sat down with Oprah Winfrey and made some shocking claims about the British royal family, with some members of the royal family and Meghan’s own family members already responding publicly.
And now author Tower Bower — who is known for his brutal unauthorized biographies about famous people, including Meghan’s father-in-law, Prince Charles — has reportedly agreed to a six-figure sum to write and publish a book revealing previously unknown details about the Duchess of Sussex.
Over the course of 12 months, Bower will speak with contacts and friends of the Sussexes, as well as those who are less favorable towards the couple.
Bower is expected to contact members of Meghan Markle’s immediate family, including her father, Thomas Markle, and her half-sister, Samantha Markle, who published a book earlier this year exposing details of the Duchess’ life and upbringing.

A source has claimed that Meghan will be “dreading” the publication of the book, which is also expected to involve testimonies from the staff at Buckingham Palace.
A source told The Sun that Prince Harry’s wife is going to have a hellish 12 months and added: “This is the book Meghan will be dreading. Tom doesn’t pull his punches and is terrifyingly thorough in his research. No stone will be left unturned. Tom has previously worked with some of his subjects and even spent time training them, but it has been made perfectly clear to him that this will not be an option with Meghan.”
It has also been confirmed that Meghan Markle will not take part in the interview.

An investigation has recently been opened into the bullying allegations against Meghan Markle in 2018 by staff and the way this was handled by other senior members of the Palace staff.
For some of Bower’s previous work, he has spent periods of time speaking with the subjects of his books. However, a source says Meghan Markle wants “no part” of the upcoming biography, meaning that first-hand accounts from the Duchess herself are out of the question.
The royal insider shared: “She wants no part of it. Given the events of recent weeks and months, this book will be dynamite – he reckons this is just the tip of the iceberg, and more will emerge over the next 12 months.”
The book is expected to be published by Simon & Schuster, who won the bid to acquire publishing rights, according to reports.
