Do you feel the storm brewing? On November 28, thewriter and editor-in-chief of Harper’s BazaarOmid Scobie, will publish his new book, Endgame. As one might guess, the latter explores in particular the relations between King Charles III and his youngest son, Prince Harry. According to information from Page SixHarry would be undertaking a “reconciliation tour” to try to reconnect with his father. Unfortunately for both men, a very particular passage fromEndgame risk of revive old wounds…
The book returns in particular to the moment when Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, “shocked”learned thatthey had to return the keys to Frogmore Cottagethe multi-million dollar British mansion they were given by Queen Elizabeth II during their wedding in 2018. This decision was taken by Charles III and explained by the fact that the Sussexes no longer worked for the royal family. In his book, Omid Scobie describes this decision as “low-blow of a wounded father bound by an institutional system that is often intolerant of human emotion“. Harry would have been so shocked by the news that he would have told his father that he would be hard to see his grandchildren, Prince Archie, 4 years old, and Princess Lilibet, 2 years old: “You don’t want to see your grandchildren ?” would thus have thrown the son to his father.

Obviously on Prince Harry’s side on this subject, Omid Scobie claims that Frogmore Cottage was “the only true safe option for family when she went to the United Kingdom”because the land is secured by armed guards. A real challenge for the Duke, who currently fighting in court so that the Government and the British Crown ensure the safety of his family, even if it is on the other side of the ocean. To note that Charles III barely saw Archie and only met Lilibet once. He would have refused an invitation to Lilibet’s baptism in California in March, claiming he was too busy. In cold with family since the publication of his memoirs last January, Harry seems more and more isolated. On the Firm side, positions differ depending on the members. As Princess Anne claims Harry is no longer part of the royal family and has stopped all contact with his nephew, Prince Edward, for his part, would like a reconciliation. To be continued…
