Meghan Markle: Tom Bower discusses writing biography
Investigative journalist Tom Bower, who has written a new book about Meghan Markle, has described the Duchess' story as "astonishing". Mr Bower, who has also written biographies of Tony Blair, Robert Maxwell and Richard Branson, said his book will reveal "extraordinary information"
Speaking about the upcoming biography, Mr Bower said: "Well, in fact, I've finished it and it will be out very soon.
"It is a story, an untold story.
"I have found out things which are really quite extraordinary about her.
"And I think that the public perception of her will be either confirmed or outraged, or in any case, it'll be a great surprise."
He continued: "It has turned out to be…a very, very hard slog because people were pretty reluctant to speak and she and her lawyers had done very well to keep people silent, but I got through [to] enough.
"And it's a great story.
"It is an astonishing story of a woman who came from nothing and is now a world figure and has trampled on all those others on the way which is classic for the sort of people I always choose, whether it's a politician or a tycoon.
"The victims are keen to talk and they have spoken.

They said the Duchess was "saddened by this latest attack on her character, particularly as someone who has been the target of bullying herself and is deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma".
The spokesperson added: "She is determined to continue her work building compassion around the world and will keep striving to set an example for doing what is right and doing what is good."
The latest comments about the Duchess come as Harry and Meghan prepare to return to the UK to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee in June.
The couple will bring their children, Archie and Lilibet to the UK for the celebrations, the first time Lilibet will have set foot on UK soil.
A spokesperson for the Sussexes said the Duke and Duchess are "excited and honoured to attend the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations this June with their children."
However, the couple will not appear on the balcony for Trooping the Colour as they are not working members of the Royal Family.
