In Omid Scobie’s latest book, “Endgame,” which delves into the turmoil within the royal family, several claims are made, shedding light on internal conflicts and tensions.
Some royal sources have criticized the book, authored by the Sussexes’ journalist supporter-in-chief, for its one-sided perspective, deeming it “depressingly poisonous.”
Heir Apparent
The book suggests that Prince William’s actions have unnerved the king, Prince Charles, who sees William as attempting to upstage him.
The portrayal of William as “hot-headed” and a “company man” who views Charles as less competent includes descriptions of Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace having “competing agendas and different ideas about how to modernize.”
Angry King
Prince William’s decision to distance himself from Lady Susan Hussey allegedly angered Buckingham Palace, seen as a “rash kneejerk response.” William’s environmental initiative, the Earth Shot prize, reportedly disappointed Charles by not involving him.
The book claims Charles found satisfaction in the criticism of the Cambridges’ Caribbean tour. The description of the eviction of Harry and Meghan from Frogmore Cottage as punishment. Includes Harry asking Charles in a phone call, “Don’t you want to see your grandchildren?”
Brotherly Strife
It is said that William believes that therapists have “brainwashed” Harry. The book claims William ignored texts from Harry on the day the Queen died, prompting Harry to charter a plane to Balmoral. The Waleses are alleged to have allowed their staff to circulate negative stories about the Sussexes.
Thankful Queen
Piers Morgan is alleged to have been quietly thanked by Camilla for defending “the firm” after he criticized Meghan. A former aide describes Camilla as rolling her eyes at what is termed “lefty nonsense” such as gender identity, unconscious bias, and veganism.
Letters from Meghan
The book alleges that after bullying allegations against Meghan, the royal family stood by, leaving Harry “gutted.” Harry reportedly confronted Charles and William after Prince Philip’s funeral.
Charles stated, “Darling boy, you must understand, the institution can’t just tell the media what to do.” Alleged letters exchanged between Charles and Meghan after her interview with Oprah reveal the identity of two individuals who expressed concerns about the color of Archie’s skin.
