What has Captain Tom’s daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore done?

Hannah Ingram-Moore, the daughter of the late Captain Sir Tom Moore, has found herself at the center of a discussion surrounding the proceeds from her father’s three books.

Her decision to retain £800,000 of the earnings from these publications has sparked debates about the allocation of these funds, which her father, affectionately known as Captain Tom, had dedicated to charity.

Captain Tom’s books became a source of inspiration for countless readers worldwide. Despite the prologue of one of the books declaring that the money generated from these literary works would be directed to charitable causes in his name, Hannah Ingram-Moore revealed her father’s wish that the family benefit from the profits through Club Nook Ltd, a separate company from the Captain Tom Foundation charity.

In an exclusive interview with TalkTV, in October 2023, Hannah Ingram-Moore conveyed the significance of her father’s books and the joy he derived from writing them.

She explained that these literary works were, at their core, his creations, and his wishes were clear – the proceeds from the books were to be retained within Club Nook Ltd.

The interview with journalist Piers Morgan shed light on the details of this arrangement. When asked whether the money was intended for her to keep, Hannah Ingram-Moore confirmed that her father had indeed wanted the profits from the books to remain with the family.

This revelation has raised important questions about the expectations of readers who, for the most part, were unaware that the earnings from these books would be directed to the family rather than charitable causes.
