The royal family is facing new bombshell claims from Harry and Meghan’s biographer Omid Scobie just hours after the Duke of Sussex reportedly had a ‘warm’ phone conversation with King Charles to mark his 75th birthday.
The Duke of Sussex is believed to have phoned his father on his special day yesterday to wish him Happy Birthday – in a call thought to be the estranged royals’ first phone chat in six months.
Meghan Markle is also said to have spoken to her father-in-law to pass on her wishes from California. And the couple’s children Archie and Lilibet recorded a video of themselves singing happy birthday to their grandfather, the Telegraph newspaper reported.
The report claimed Charles and Harry will speak again next week after their call marked a ‘shift’ in tone and a ‘turning point’ between the pair.
But now, Mr Scobie has shared an extract of his new book, Endgame, leaking explosive claims including that Prince Harry was ‘kept in the dark’ about the Queen’s health in the hours before she died.
Mr Scobie, who previously released a biography on the Sussexes titled ‘Finding Freedom,’ said Harry, 39, and his 42-year-old wife Meghan had ‘no idea’ the Royal Family were preparing for the Queen’s death last year.
The author also suggests William and Harry’s relationship is beyond repair because the Prince of Wales sees his brother as a ‘defector’.
And in the extract shared with People, he claims ‘there is no going back’ for the brothers and ‘absolutely nothing has changed’ since the Duke of Sussex released Spare earlier this year.
It is not known how the new book could affect any rapprochement. Buckingham Palace has refused to comment on the extract.
