While ties between the British Royal Family and Prince Harry continue to be strained, Scobie believes Harry's book Spare was his last effort to bare his feelings.

“I saw Harry’s release of Spare as his last attempt at telling his family how he’s felt for years,” said Scobie.

“Because clearly there’s never been an open enough forum to have these conversations or share these feelings,” added Scobie.

Scobie highlighted details of his research about Prince William's view of Harry. He shared that while writing his new book Endgame, he had contacted a source who weighed in on the matter.

In writing Endgame, “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,” said Scobie.

“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,” he added.

Talking about the chances of resolving the disputes among members of the British Royal Family including the rift between Prince Harry and Prince William, Scobie said “There’s a real chance here to learn and adapt to modern society and also make up for mistakes of the past. It’s their move.”
