Prince Harry Pleads to Keep Frogmore Cottage
A bombshell book, Endgame by Omid Scobie, claims that Prince Harry asked King Charles, "Don't you want to see your grandchildren any more?" as he desperately tried to hold on to Frogmore Cottage. The King had ordered Harry and Meghan to return the keys to their Windsor home shortly after the release of the memoir Spare.
Claims of Tension and Allegations
According to the book, Prince Harry used his children, Archie and Lilibet, in an attempt to change the King's mind. The book also alleges that Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, "shudders and giggles nervously" whenever Meghan's name is mentioned. However, the book suggests that Harry is ready to move on from the bitter feud with his family, while Meghan is reluctant to "dive back into the soap opera."
The One-Sided Account
It is important to note that this book is seen as a one-sided account, with input primarily from Harry and Meghan's camp. The book frequently criticizes Prince William and Kate, who are unable to publicly defend themselves due to Royal Protocol.
Controversial Claims and Royal Reactions
Paris Match, a French magazine, claims that the book reveals a message circulated within the Royal Family warning against trusting Harry after the release of Spare. While Harry has attended his father's Coronation and returned to the UK for various media court cases, Meghan reportedly has no desire to set foot in England again. The book also suggests that Meghan felt ignored by the Royal Family at Queen Elizabeth's funeral.
The Sibling Rivalry
The book dedicates a whole chapter to the strained relationship between Harry and his brother, Prince William. It claims that the brothers did not exchange even a text message at Christmas, although Harry and Meghan did send gifts to William and Kate's children. The book also alleges that Kate spent more time talking about Meghan than with her directly.
Royal Dynamics and Future Uncertainty
The book delves into the dynamics within the Royal Family, with Scobie predicting a potential stand-off between Charles and William. It suggests that William is impatient to become king and has been speaking out without notifying Buckingham Palace. The book also highlights differences between Charles and William in their leadership styles and approach to challenges.
Overall, Endgame provides a controversial and one-sided account of tensions within the Royal Family, shedding light on the strained relationship between Prince Harry and his father, King Charles, as well as the ongoing sibling rivalry between Harry and Prince William.
