Hannah Ingram-Moore, the daughter of the beloved Captain Sir Tom Moore, is under fire for reportedly profiting from a memoir about her father's extraordinary fundraising efforts during the pandemic. Critics argue that the move contradicts the spirit of charity that made her father a national hero.
Public Outcry Over Memoir Profits
The late Captain Tom captured the hearts of millions when he walked 100 laps of his garden to raise over £38 million for the NHS. His daughter, Hannah, has now written a book detailing his life and legacy. However, revelations that she stands to financially benefit from the memoir have sparked widespread criticism.
Charity Concerns
Many feel that the profits should be directed towards charitable causes, aligning with Captain Tom's selfless ethos. A spokesperson for the family defended the decision, stating that the book was intended to honour his memory and inspire others.
Family's Response
"This memoir is a tribute to my father's incredible life and the impact he had," said Hannah Ingram-Moore. "It was never about personal gain but about sharing his story with the world." Despite her assurances, public sentiment remains divided.
