Multiple Royal experts have condemned Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's biographer, Omid Scobie, and his newly released memoir for the content and terrible timing. The new book comes amid King Charles' birthday celebrations, from which Harry, Meghan, and their kids were absent.

In the book, Scobie alleged that Harry was kept in the dark about Queen Elizabeth's health before her death. He also spoke about how Harry and William's brotherly relationship is damaged beyond repair after his exit from the Royal family and controversial "Spare" memoir.

Royal Experts Condemn Harry & Meghan's Biographer's New Book

Omid Scobie has released a new book on Harry and Meghan titled "Endgame." After the book's contents went public, multiple Royal experts criticized Scobie for his words and the timing of his release. This week is also King Charles' 75th birthday and the premiere of the sixth and final season of "The Crown."

Phil Dampier, a Royal journalist and author, spoke to the Daily Mail about the new book. He said, "We all know that Scobie is their mouthpiece and he gets his information directly or indirectly from the Sussexes, so anything which is hurtful to Charles, Camilla or William and Kate, will just make things much worse. Let's put it this way - I can't see Harry and Meghan coming over for a family Christmas."

Dampier emphasized that King Charles has been open to reconciliation with Harry so far, but the new book might damage that opportunity. He further claimed that despite the close relationship between Harry, Meghan, and Scobie, the couple might finally cut ties with the author.

The newest book on the Sussexes reportedly contains multiple allegations about the royal family. Its release also came a few hours after the King's birthday celebrations on November 14th. 

Although they were absent from the celebrations, media reports claim that Harry called his father from California on Tuesday and that they plan to talk more next week.

Meghan also reportedly spoke to King Charles, and the couple shared a video of their kids, Archie and Lilibet, singing a Happy Birthday song to their grandfather. The call between Harry and Charles is reportedly the first chat between father and son in about six months.

In Scobie's new release, he wrote about Harry and Prince William's relationship. Scobie claimed that William ignored his brother's calls and that the Royal family kept Harry in the dark during the last days of Queen Elizabeth's life.

An insider spoke about the content and condemned Scobie for dredging up that matter. They said, "It appears no matter what happens behind closed doors, even in a time of such pain and grief, that where the Royal Family are concerned it will one day emerge."

They also said that Scobie clearly sees William and Kate as targets and has no limits in his attacks. Scobie, who's previously written a biography on Harry and Meghan titled "Finding Freedom," said the couple were completely unaware that the Royal Family had begun preparing for Queen Elizabeth's death in the days and weeks before.

He Hinted That The Relationship Is Severed

Regarding Harry and William's brotherly relationship, Scobie hinted that it's too severely damaged and beyond repair. In the extract he shared with People Magazine, the author claimed that there's "no going back." He also wrote that "absolutely nothing has changed' since the release of Harry's "Spare" earlier this year.

In the Duke of Sussex's memoir, he made multiple heavy allegations against his brother, including that they fought because of William's alleged insulting comments against Meghan. He also spoke about other members of the Royal family in the memoir, including his stepmother, Queen Camilla.

Scobie claimed that William feels that he's completely "lost Harry and doesn't want to know this version of him." The book will officially be released on November 28th, and the allegations will finally go public.
