That means they didn’t actually speak to each other before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex officially left the UK in 2020 as part of the dramatic “Megxit” split.
If Prince Harry and his wife are interested in reconciling with the royal family, this book certainly won’t help, a palace source told Page Six, adding: “Harry and Meghan are said to be on their reconciliation tour.”
However, Scobie claims there is “no going back” for Middleton, 41, following the breakdown of her relationship with Harry and Markle.

“Kate has learned what is paramount to surviving the system: to disappear into your role, give nothing away and allow yourself to embody what the public sees in you.
And with these consultations, the Princess of Wales even sounds a bit like her former boss: elegant, regal and appropriately distant.”
Scobie adds that while Middleton and Markle were caught up in the fallout from Prince William and Harry’s falling apart relationship and could have formed a bond as outsiders to the palace, Middleton did nothing to support the former “Suits” actress she joined the royal family.

Controversial author Omid Scobie is considered particularly close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s camp and has in the past promoted versions of what happened that are friendly to them and disdainful of the royal family. Ken McKay/ITV/Shutterstock Omid Scobie’s new book is likely to prove as controversial as his first novel, “Finding Freedom.”
“Endgame” is released on Tuesday, but sources who know the Sussexes wanted to emphasize that they have nothing to do with the book – which is Scobie’s follow-up to his volume “Finding Freedom” about their departure from royal life and “Megxit.”
“Any speculation that this is a Sussex book is crazy,” a source told Page Six.
