A shocking revelation from Royal insider Omid Scobie’s new book, “Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival,” exposes the strained relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry. According to the book, in the hours leading up to Queen Elizabeth II’s death, William purposely ignored Harry’s attempts to communicate, leaving him in the dark about their grandmother’s condition.
Key Takeaway
Prince William ignored his brother Prince Harry’s attempts to contact him before the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, leaving Harry uninformed about their grandmother’s condition. This disregard further strained their already troubled relationship, highlighting the ongoing tensions between the two brothers.
Unanswered Texts and Broken Bonds
Throughout the crucial time when Harry was trying to arrange his travel plans from California to the UK to visit Queen Elizabeth, William chose not to respond to any of his brother’s messages. The book indicates that William deliberately avoided any contact with Harry, suggesting that he had no desire to see him.
As a result, Harry was forced to navigate the situation on his own, eventually having to book an expensive private jet for his journey. While Harry was spending $30,000 on his flight, William was already on his own private flight with Prince Edward and his wife.
Heartbreak and Lack of Respect
The book claims that Harry was devastated by the lack of response from William, especially considering the strong bond he shared with Queen Elizabeth. According to an anonymous source cited by Scobie, “Harry was crushed. His relationship with the Queen was everything to him. She would have wanted him to know before it went out to the world.”
The source adds, “They could have waited just a little longer, it would have been nothing in the grand scheme of things, but no one respected that at all.”
A Missed Goodbye
When Harry finally arrived in Scotland, where Queen Elizabeth was on her deathbed, it was too late. He hadn’t had the opportunity to say goodbye to his grandmother. Despite the united front they presented to the public, the book suggests that there was significant tension between the brothers behind the scenes.
The Deteriorating Relationship
This revelation comes as no surprise, given the strained relationship between William and Harry in recent years. The claims of racism within the Royal institution made by Harry and Meghan included insinuations about William’s involvement, which he vehemently denied. William was also displeased with how Harry handled his exit as a Senior Royal and subsequent public actions.
Even now, their relationship remains frosty. Reports suggest that William would not be upset if Harry and Meghan did not attend Christmas festivities in the UK.
