Sorrowful King Charles Reacts to Scandal Amid Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Tensions
King Charles has been deeply affected by the recent revelations surrounding Omid Scobie's latest book, “Endgame,” according to sources.
The book, released on November 28, faced immediate backlash in the Netherlands, where the Dutch version exposed two unnamed members of the royal family expressing concerns about the skin color of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's then-unborn son, Archie.
While Meghan and Harry, as well as Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace, have yet to respond, reports suggest that an internal investigation is underway to address the allegations.
To maintain discretion, the identities of the two royals have not been disclosed.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, an insider revealed that the implied accusations and leaks have further strained relations within the royal family, particularly with the Sussexes.
Despite recent efforts by Harry and Meghan to reconcile with King Charles and move past the turmoil, the situation seems to have worsened.
Additionally, recent comments from another source to ET shed light on Prince William's reaction to Scobie's book.
The source indicated that William is incensed by the resurfaced scandal, leading to a continued rift between him and Prince Harry.
Speculation about a potential reconciliation between Harry and the royal family, especially William, appears bleak at present.
The renewed controversy has not only enraged William but has also stirred emotions across the entire royal household.
Reports suggest that the king, in particular, was disheartened by leaked details from a private phone call with Harry.
Despite their strained relationship, Harry reportedly reached out to his father on his 75th birthday last month.
Royal commentator Rafe Haidlemancu, speaking to GB News, conveyed the king's disappointment with his youngest son, emphasizing the king's desire to maintain focus on his public duties rather than private matters leaking to the press.
Beyond the family dynamics, tensions seem to have spilled over into social circles as well.
The Sunday Times reported that Harry and Meghan, now residing in the US, will not be invited to the upcoming wedding of Hugh Grosvenor, one of England's wealthiest individuals.
Grosvenor, a mutual friend of William and Harry and godfather to both Prince George and Archie, appears to have distanced himself from the couple amid the ongoing controversies.
The exclusion from such a significant event highlights the widening repercussions of the scandal on personal relationships beyond the royal sphere.
