Prince William’s allies hit back at ‘outrageous’ suggestions he told Prince Harry after claims from ‘Meghan’s mouthpiece’ Omid Scobie

Friends of the Prince of Wales last night made ‘outrageous’ suggestions he had told his own brother following the latest series of claims from the writer dubbed ‘Meghan’s mouthpiece’.

Supporters jumped to the future king’s defense and expressed their anger and frustration that Omid Scobie was “selling” what they described as conspiracy theories dressed up as fact ahead of the publication of his new book tomorrow.

In excerpts from Endgame, his second book attacking the royal family – and in interviews to publicize it – Scobie has suggested that William ‘prioritised his loyalty to the monarchy’ over his brother and actively leaked information about Harry and Meghan to undermine them.

Kensington Palace remained silent about the furore, but the frustration of those loyal to William was clear. One told the Mail that Scobie’s portrayal of the heir apparent was “the exact opposite” of William’s personal mantra.

“He has always remained tight-lipped when it came to his family and has made it clear to everyone close to him that he would not make ‘deals’ with the media,” they said.

In his latest interview with The Sunday Times, Omid Scobie (pictured) breathlessly describes William as a hot-headed, power-hungry man who has become increasingly willing to allow the Palace to use dirty tricks.

‘Like Harry, he is scarred by the experiences of his childhood, seeing his father and mother engaged in what was called ‘the war of the Waleses’. He never wanted history to repeat itself.

“That was something he and Harry had to agree on.”

Another added: ‘It’s one thing to write criticism of the royal family. That is freedom of speech. But it’s another thing to spread conspiracy theories dressed up as fact. The suggestion that [royal aides] told negative stories [about Harry and Meghan] is completely made up. It just didn’t happen.

“The truth is, everyone was walking on eggshells pretty much from the engagement on, trying to keep them happy.”

In his latest interview with The Sunday Times, Scobie breathlessly describes William as a hot-headed, power-hungry man who has become increasingly willing to allow the Palace to use dirty tricks. Apart from the fact that the prince is occasionally prone to the famous Windsor temper, those who know him well say this would be anathema to him.

The author also portrays the Princess of Wales as an underachiever, too afraid of taking a step wrong to raise her head above the ground.

“That will really turn William on,” said another source.

‘He is extremely proud of what his wife has achieved. The Princess is the driving force behind much of their work, especially when it comes to improving mental health.”

Insiders also claim that a number of Scobie’s key claims are ‘simply wrong’ and ‘repeated’.

In response to an accusation that King Charles has gone out of touch and demanded his shoelaces be ironed, a source says bluntly: ‘That was total bull**** when it first surfaced 20 years ago, and it remains so now still.’

Scobie also raises issues of racism and diversity within Charles’ household. He is now accusing two people in royal circles of raising concerns about Prince Archie’s skin color, but claims libel laws prevent him from mentioning those names.

Questions also remain about the provenance of large parts of the book.

Harry and Meghan have distanced themselves and Scobie has claimed he is not part of the ‘Sussex camp’, despite a wealth of intimate details about letters, phone calls, text messages and conversations between themselves and other members of the royal family. .

Meghan has previously been forced to apologize for misleading the Supreme Court because she could not remember emails she exchanged with an aide to help Scobie with his previous Sussex-friendly book, Finding Freedom, after previously stated that she had nothing to do with it.

In Endgame, Scobie openly describes private conversations he had with several members of their staff. And he even brags about a quick phone call he had with Meghan herself after she married Harry.

Scobie, clearly angry about the coverage of his book in recent days, ranted on social media that “the distortion of facts and misquoting that is currently going on has reached new levels of desperation.”

Buckingham Palace declined to comment last night.
