Insiders within the royal family are reportedly furious over claims that Prince William ignored his brother's messages as the Queen was on her deathbed. These bombshell allegations have been made by Omid Scobie in his latest book, "Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival." The book, written by Scobie who is known to be close friends with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, alleges that Prince William, aged 41, ignored Prince Harry's calls as he tried to reach the Queen's bedside.
Prince Harry's Desperate Attempts to Reach His Brother
According to Scobie's book, Prince Harry sent text messages to Prince William, inquiring about his plans to travel to Scotland, with the intention of going together. However, Prince Harry allegedly received no response, even though there were available seats on the private plane used to travel to the Queen's bedside. Scobie claims that Prince William "clearly didn't want to see his brother," leaving Prince Harry to find his own way to Balmoral.
The Sussexes Operate in the Dark
Scobie writes that the Sussexes and their team had to operate in the dark without any further information from other family members or palace aides. Harry was left completely by himself in this situation, according to a source close to the Sussexes. The lack of communication and support during such a difficult time was reportedly upsetting to witness.
Royal Family Secrets Emerge
An insider revealed that no matter what happens behind closed doors, it is likely to emerge when it concerns the Royal Family. The wounds are opened up again, and it only takes a few months for the knives to come out. William and Kate seem to be the number one target for this author. Scobie also claims that William feels he has lost Harry and wants nothing to do with this version of him.
Harry Kept in the Dark
Scobie's book also reveals that Harry was kept in the dark about his grandmother's health until he received a call from an unknown number, which turned out to be from his father, Prince Charles. Charles allegedly told Harry to travel to Scotland without Meghan, to which Harry agreed after learning that Kate would also not be in attendance. Scobie writes that Kate chose to stay back to pick up the children from their first day at a new school, while an unnamed former palace aide revealed that Meghan could sense she wasn't wanted.
No Going Back for the Brothers
The book claims that the relationship between the two brothers is beyond repair, and there is no going back for them. According to Scobie, William views Harry as a "defector," and nothing has changed in their relationship since the release of Harry's memoir earlier this year. The book suggests that these once-aligned brothers had to move on in order to protect the crown.
