Royal author Tom Bower has once again ignited debate surrounding Meghan Markle, this time pointing to court documents that continue to fuel controversy years after they first emerged.

Known for his critical examinations of high-profile public figures, Bower argues that the legal records raise serious questions about statements made by the Duchess of Sussex during a highly publicized court battle.
The documents stem from Meghan’s lawsuit against the publisher of the Mail on Sunday over the publication of a private letter she wrote to her father, Thomas Markle. While Meghan ultimately won the case, attention later shifted to evidence presented during proceedings, including details about briefings given to the authors of the biography Finding Freedom.
During the case, Meghan initially stated that she had not collaborated directly with the book’s authors. However, court filings later revealed that information had been provided through a senior aide acting on her behalf. Meghan subsequently apologized to the court for what she described as forgetting those exchanges, insisting there was no intention to mislead.
Bower contends that these admissions remain significant because they challenge public narratives that were presented at the time. He argues that the revelations damaged trust and continue to influence public perceptions of the Duchess. Supporters of Meghan, however, maintain that the issue was a misunderstanding rather than a deliberate attempt to conceal information.
