Strained Relations Deepen Between Harry, Charles, and the Royal Family Over New Book
The relationship between Prince Harry, Duchess Meghan, and the British royal family has hit yet another bump in the road, according to royal expert Craig Prescott. Prescott, a constitutional lawyer and professor at Royal Holloway University in London, believes that a newly released royal book "Endgame" by Omid Scobie will further deepen the rift while potentially offering a chance for reconciliation.
The book, which has been making headlines in the UK, has sparked controversy over allegations of publishing the names of two royals - whom Harry and Meghan accused of speculating about the skin color of their unborn children - without author Scobie's knowledge. The controversy comes as the pair have maintained a close relationship with Scobie, who claims he did not speak to Meghan for the book.
If Meghan and Harry were to distance themselves from the book, it would be a potential peace offering, according to Prescott. However, the author's connections with Meghan raise questions about the level of cooperation between the two.
Public strains between Harry, his father, King Charles, and brother Prince William have been mounting for some time, with ongoing issues such as immigration matters and public criticism contributing to the tension. The aftermath of Harry's memoir, "Spare," and President Donald Trump's comments regarding his immigration status have only heightened the situation.
As the situation remains complicated, with King Charles reportedly trying to calm things down while Prince William is reportedly furious, only time will tell if the pair can find a way to mend their fractured relationship.
