New book reveals shocking insider claims about King Charles!
- Replies 82
The people of the Commonwealth have long celebrated Queen Elizabeth's reign, but some say the future of the monarchy is now uncertain as her son King Charles III sits on the throne.
Omid Scobie's latest book, Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival, is set to shed light on revelations from insiders about King Charles and the Queen's relationship.
It is understood that those close to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry spoke with Scobie for his book, though sources took care to say that the pair had no hand in its creation.
According to Scobie, Queen Elizabeth had little faith in her son's ability to rule as he was enjoying the glamour being raised within the royal family.
In 2001, the Queen supposedly referred to new Lord Chamberlain, Andrew Parker, as her 'new CEO', which some perceive as a pointed reference to her feelings towards her son.
'There was a slight lack of faith in her son,' alleges Scobie in his book. He also states that the Queen was vocal in criticising Charles' 'extravagantly luxurious lifestyle'.
This year, King Charles' coronation cost upwards of $191 million—a stark juxtaposition to his work advocating for those in the UK struggling with living costs.
It was reportedly on his 75th birthday that King Charles visited a food bank in the UK to speak with families who depend on it.
Prince William has also been a leading figure in homelessness campaigns in the country.
Scobie goes on to divulge yet more revelations. 'A source close to the Queen has said that the monarch needed someone who could be trusted to be her eyes and ears,' says Scobie in his book.
'The Queen reportedly did not think Charles was the right man for such a role—and many senior royals share this sentiment today.'
The book also states the views of those with a vested interest in the Monarchy's survival post-Elizabeth are also not in favour of the new King, and that his successors—including the young Prince George—hold the key to ‘mak(ing) the royals great again’.
The biography also paints a picture of a monarchy heading for a 'potentially uneventful era', implying that Charles will never be able to replicate his mother's greatly-loved standing with the public.
Scobie even makes reference to 'tampon-gate', which is a controversial intimate leaked recording wherein the then-Prince stated his sexual desire for his lover.
Just as Scobie released his book, other insiders from Buckingham Palace recently hinted that relations between the King and his youngest son were still icy.
According to recent reports, King Charles feels that Prince Harry has caused him ‘great pain’, particularly over his conduct in Queen Elizabeth’s last years and perceived insults toward Queen Consort Camilla. You can read more about it here.
