According to royal biographer Omid Scobie, a close associate of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, some undisclosed narratives in his new book, "Endgame," suggest that the relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry is irreparable.
The revelations come as a surprise to those holding onto the hope that the two royal brothers might eventually reconcile and restore their close bond.
In shocking extracts from "Endgame," co-author of "Finding Freedom" Omid Scobie asserts that Prince William "doesn’t want to know" his younger brother. This declaration, published by a media outlet, seemingly quashes any optimism of a future reunion, even as their father, King Charles, wishes for the healing of the rift between the two brothers.
Scobie, as revealed in an excerpt shared with PEOPLE, alleges that William perceives Harry as a "defector" and suggests that the elder prince believes Harry has been "brainwashed by an army of therapists."
In the book, Scobie writes, "I was talking to a source quite early on in the process, and they called Harry a ‘defector’ and said that was William’s view." He further asserts, "These were two men who once upon a time were firmly aligned in their outlook. One of them had to move on to also protect the crown. They will never see eye-to-eye at this point. They’re on completely opposite sides … that won’t change."
