Omid Scobie claims '' No going back for Harry and William'' after the Duke was 'kept in dark' about Queen's death

Omid Scobie's book, "Endgame," continues to detail the strained relationship between Prince Harry and his family, specifically in relation to the events surrounding Queen Elizabeth's passing. The claims suggest that Harry and Meghan were allegedly unaware of the seriousness of the Queen's health condition before her passing, indicating a lack of communication within the Royal Family.

Scobie's claims also highlight the ongoing rift between Harry and his relatives, particularly Prince William and King Charles. These relationships seem to be in a state of irreparable damage, according to the information shared from the book.

Buckingham Palace hasn't responded to these specific claims.

The claims made in the extract from Omid Scobie's book, "Endgame," suggest a series of events leading up to Queen Elizabeth's passing and the apparent lack of communication within the Royal Family regarding her health condition.

He writes: 'By the next morning, the Sussexes had no idea that Buckingham Palace was already planning for the Queen's final hours and the first days of the monarchy's new era — until the duke's phone started ringing. An unknown number. He usually ignored those.'

  1. Really. So how many times did the Queen herself invite H&M to visit? Maybe if he had shown any interest in someone other than himself he would have been kept in the loop. Typical passive aggressive behavior. It's always someone else fault.
