A “phew” of relief. Friday December 1st, End of reign – translated from English Endgame, released Tuesday November 28 – will be published in France by Seuil editions. Written by the royal journalist known to be close to the Sussexes, Omid Scobie, this book “punch” spare no one in Buckingham Palace and its surroundings. However, one of the revelations made by the person who officiates for the American version of Harper’s Bazaar would have what reassure King Charles III. As well as Prince Williamat the same time.
And for good reason, among the many rumors circulating around the British Crown, is that of a hypothetical sequel to Spare (The Substitute in French), Prince Harry’s work, published at the beginning of 2023. But, according to the journalist, this is not the case. “He can finally focus on projects that prove he has moved on”, he first wrote. And throw: “Several relatives confirm that he has drawn a line under the ‘royal revelations’ and that rumors announcing additions or updates to the Alternate are false.” Subsequently, Omid Scobie also clarified a point about the upcoming release of the paperback version: “It will be similar to the large format version.” Understand, the prince is done with the revelations.
As a reminder, the publication of the Memoirs of Lady Diana’s youngest son had a devastating effect on his relations with the royal family, already weakened by multiple underlying tensions.
A knowledgeable author
In the pages of his work, Omid Scobie revealed another detail. And not least. Prince William would have read his younger brother’s famous book. “While speaking with a former adviser to William for the purposes of this book, I asked him whether the publication of Harry’s Memoirs – which describe in unprecedented detail the difficulties encountered by the heir’s deputy – had any impact on how the Welsh couple intended to raise their own alternates, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis“, he asked bluntly. The latter having replied: “William […] hasn’t read this book.” Obviously not convinced by this admission, the author insisted: “Hard to believe !”
And if this insistence is surprising, it had the merit of being effective, since the advisor of the King’s eldest son finally blurted out: “He read certain passagesbut not the whole book… Harry’s experience is very different from that of William’s children.”
