Hannah Ingram-Moore is said to be preparing to self prublish a new book on dealing with grief after a previous deal earned her more than £1million, with none going to her father’s charity
The “shameless” daughter of Captain Sir Tom Moore is set to release a new book after receiving more than £1million from a previous deal – and giving none to his NHS charity.
Sources claimed Hannah Ingram-Moore’s new tome, Grief: Public Face, Private Loss, would be self published this week. A previous book deal earned her and husband Colin £1.5million, with none going towards Sir Tom’s charity.
Now the new book is reportedly set to hit shelves, according to a source. They told: “It appears to be another attempt to cash in – Hannah is totally shameless and still doesn’t think she has done much wrong.
“While the book does not use his name, it seems it will feature his death and give tips to the public on how to cope with grief.
“While most people would be lying low, instead she is releasing a self-help book. It is quite telling that she is self-publishing – as no big publisher would go near her,” they told The Sun.
Second World War veteran Captain Tom raised nearly £39m for charity during the pandemic by walking 100 lengths of his garden ahead of his 100th birthday in April 2020. He was knighted months later and died aged 100 in 2021.
Earlier this year accounts showed his daughter’s company had suffered financial collapse. Hannah Ingram-Moore’s firm, Club Nook, has seen the value of its assets plummet to just £149 over the last year – down from £336,300 in the previous 12 months.
Accounts to April 2024 showed the company owes creditors £67,000. Its liabilities are recorded as standing at £19,246 net, where in the year to April 2023 they stood at £106,104 in the black.
It was the latest humiliation for the family – forced to slash £250,000 from the price of their country mansion – after they faced criticism by watchdogs for their handling of Captain Tom’s charity funds. In 2023, Hannah admitted that £800,000 worth of profits from Captain Tom’s three books had been paid into Club Nook.
In a TV interview, she claimed her father wanted his family to keep the profits from Captain Tom’s Life Lessons, One Hundred Steps and Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day and insisted readers were never told the money would go to charity. The prologue of the third book, an autobiography, suggested the veteran thought his books were just another way for him to fundraise.
The extract read: “Astonishingly at my age, with the offer to write this memoir I have also been given the chance to raise even more money for the charitable foundation now established in my name.”
