A royal author has claimed Prince Harry will never heal his relationship with his family

The rift between Prince Harry and his family has been making headlines for years, but things are set to get heated following the release of royal reporter Omid Scobie’s latest book.

The writer makes multiple revelations in his book ‘Endgame’ which looks at the royal family’s fight for survival.

Ahead of its publication date, many snippets have been released, including a heartbreaking claim about Prince Harry.

In his book, Scobie claims that the royals didn’t contact Prince Harry about Queen Elizabeth’s passing.

The dad-of-two reportedly found out about her death from a BBC news report.

Scobie revealed that Prince Charles called his son when the Queen had taken a bad turn.

He urged his son to fly over to Scotland as soon as possible.

The prince tried to contact his brother, Prince William, and sister-in-law, Princess Kate, but they ignored his calls and messages.

Scobie shared, “It was upsetting to witness. [Harry] was completely by himself on this.”

“William ignored him. He clearly didn’t want to see his brother,” an insider told the royal reporter.

The only family member who did reach out to Prince Harry was his cousin, Princess Eugenie.

She told her cousin that “it was time” but knew very little information.

Following her passing, the palace aides wanted to alert the press before Prince Harry’s flight landed.

They attempted to wait for him to arrive in Scotland but ended up making the news public before his plane even landed.

He reportedly found out the news from a BBC breaking news report.

“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. 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.”
