Amidst the alleged claims by Omid Scobie, a purported friend of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Prince William has chosen to focus on more pressing matters and individuals who genuinely contribute to the world.
These awards coincided with the release of Omid Scobie's new book, "Endgame," which suggests a minor rivalry between Prince William and King Charles, even hinting that Prince William might be the last king of the monarchy.
However, Prince William responded to Scobie's "Endgame" in a manner reminiscent of his approach to Harry's "Spare" earlier this year. He dismissed the book and its author's claims while using his first speech since the emergence of these new allegations to honor the winners, stating, "It’s my great pleasure to be here with you all tonight as we recognize and celebrate the work of three remarkable individuals, each working tirelessly for a better and brighter future. Their extraordinary commitment, courage, and sacrifice inspire us all."
Proud to be the Patron of @tusk_org! Well done to all the winners for your commitment to conservation. Your dedication to protecting Africa’s wildlife is truly inspiring.
