In Omid Scobie's latest book, "Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival," it's suggested that Princess Anne was a vocal proponent of the palace's strategy to remove Harry and Meghan from the property. The Duke of Edinburgh, it's said, expressed concern for the well-being of the estranged royal couple. The book details how the couple received a request from Sir Michael John Stevens, the Keeper of the Privy Purse, to relinquish the cottage as they no longer worked for the royal family and lived abroad. Prince Harry's response to this request reportedly included a poignant question to his father about seeing his grandchildren.
The book also touches on Princess Anne's significant influence within the royal family, attributing her impact to decades of service and a deep respect for her role. Notably, the unauthorized biography claims that King Charles declined a meeting with Prince Harry, delegating the task to an aide, citing overwork. This refusal reportedly came three weeks before Prince Harry announced his autobiography, "Spear," catching his father off guard.
"Endgame," initially set to release in August, was delayed to include events surrounding the King's coronation and was published on November 28th by Harper Collins. The author, Omid Scobie, who also penned the Sussexes' biography "Searching for Freedom," covers various topics in the book, including the last days of Queen Elizabeth II, the downfall of Prince Andrew, and a special section on Prince Harry's mission. Despite the book's in-depth coverage, Harry and Meghan have distanced themselves from the "Endgame" series, denying any involvement.
