A bombshell book by Omid Scobie, Endgame, alleges that Prince Harry begged King Charles to allow him to keep Frogmore Cottage despite being ordered to hand back the keys. The book, set to be released on Tuesday, also makes absurd claims about the relationship between Kate and Meghan.
Harry's Plea to the King
According to the book, Harry pleaded with King Charles, asking if he no longer wanted to see his grandchildren, as he fought to keep Frogmore Cottage. Scobie's book claims that Harry even used his children, Archie and Lilibet, in an attempt to change the King's mind.
Allegations against Kate
Scobie's book also makes sensational claims about Kate's reaction whenever Meghan's name is mentioned. It alleges that Kate "shudders and giggles nervously," suggesting tension between the two sisters-in-law.
Harry's Desire to Move On
Despite the bitter feud with his family, the book claims that Harry is ready to forget and move on. However, Meghan is said to be reluctant to "dive back into the soap opera" and is refusing to engage.
One-sided Account
The book is expected to be seen as a one-sided account, as it primarily includes input from Harry and Meghan's camp. It often criticizes Prince William and Kate, who, due to Royal Protocol, are unable to publicly defend themselves against the claims made in the book.
Meghan's Involvement
Meghan was previously forced to admit that she had her spokesperson brief Scobie for his first book, Finding Freedom. The book suggests that members of the couple's inner circle may have also provided assistance or guidance for this new publication.
The Role of Princess Anne
According to the book, it was Princess Anne who convinced King Charles to evict Harry from Frogmore Cottage. This revelation follows reports earlier this year that Harry had been ordered to leave the property in a move dubbed "Frogxit."
Trust Issues
The book claims that a message circulated within the Royal Family advising them not to trust Harry after the publication of his memoir, Spare. According to the book, sources close to the King allegedly said that Charles was cautious and everyone took the message seriously.
Meghan's Alleged Discomfort
The book suggests that Meghan never felt at home in England and refused to attend Charles' Coronation due to her aversion to the "soap opera" of the Court. Meghan's representatives had previously claimed that she stayed in California to celebrate Archie's fourth birthday.
Strained Family Relations
The book highlights the strained relations between Harry and his family, particularly his brother William. It claims that Harry has accepted that his family may never change, especially after William refused to discuss the issues between them.
William's Impatience and Alleged Coldness
Scobie's book also suggests that William is impatient to become king and has been speaking out without notifying Buckingham Palace. The book paints William as colder and harsher than his father, leading with his head rather than his heart.
Criticism of William and Kate
In an attempt to engage with young people, the book claims that William and Kate are seen as stilted and lacking the ability to connect. Scobie suggests that there is nostalgia for the Sussexes, who are seen as bringing fresh air to the Royal Family.
Overall, Scobie's book presents a controversial perspective on the relationship dynamics within the Royal Family, with a focus on Harry's plea to keep Frogmore Cottage and the alleged tensions between Kate and Meghan.
