Hannah Ingram-Moore, daughter of the late Captain Tom Moore, made her first live TV appearance since the damning Charity Commission report. Speaking on Good Morning Britain, she defended herself against claims that she and her husband personally benefited from charitable donations.
A Book About Grief Amidst the Headlines
Ingram-Moore appeared on the show to discuss her new book on grief. However, the conversation quickly turned to the controversy surrounding her family’s handling of funds linked to her father’s legacy.
GMB shared the interview, writing:
“Captain Sir Tom Moore’s daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore insists there was no intention to mislead the public after the Charity Commission found she and her husband personally benefited from charitable donations. @RobbieRinder asks Hannah to clarify how much of the advance from the sales of Captain Sir Tom Moore’s book went to the foundation.”
‘The Lie Was More Interesting Than the Truth’
Reflecting on the intense public scrutiny, Ingram-Moore said:
“As the headlines swirled, and we lost control of any sense of the truth, I was looking out and seeing the lie being much more interesting than the truth behind it. So I had to bury my own grief.”
She also spoke about her late mother’s battle with dementia, explaining how her father had moved in with them after her passing.
Does She Feel Shame?
When Rob Rinder asked if she felt any shame, her response was firm:
“We know that we own the truth, and what I can’t do is sit here and persuade everyone to believe our reality.”
Pressed by Kate Garraway on what that truth actually was, Ingram-Moore said:
“If you look back to that dark time of Covid, we as a family were in the same position as everybody else.”
Garraway then challenged her, saying:
“That has been forgotten. I think people feel that’s because you’ve done something to damage the legacy. Nobody forgets his spirit.”
