When show host Andy Cohen questioned her about the criticisms of Scobie’s book on King Charles, Portman suggested that she doesn't believe the King harbors any ill will, calling the accusations baseless and a repetition of previous claims, possibly alluding to Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah. Scobie, meanwhile, has insisted that he wrote his book, "Endgame," rapidly, despite first announcing plans for a new royal family book in July of the previous year and revealing the title in December.
Rumors suggest that Scobie had direct and quick information sources from Meghan's camp, and it's speculated that he met with Meghan in Los Angeles hotels while writing the book. In other royal news, a report suggests that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may not have a place in the royal family when Prince William becomes king. The future King, according to Express UK, has reportedly communicated to King Charles III his preference for "business as usual" without the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. William is said to be planning for his reign and does not envision a role for the Sussexes in the royal family.
Sources claim William firmly believes their return would be detrimental, and he prefers they remain on the fringes indefinitely. While King Charles holds out hope for reconciliation, this seems more due to Harry being his son than any other reason.
Senior royals reportedly recognize the decline in Harry and Meghan's popularity and fear their reintegration could be disastrous for the family. They are concerned about being booed at public events and appearing weak by allowing the couple back in after their various public disclosures and actions.
