Princess Kate ‘shudders and giggles’ every time she hears Meghan Markle’s name, Omid Scobie’s bombshell book claims
PRINCESS Kate “shudders and giggles” every time she hears Meghan Markle’s name, a new book has claimed.
The Princess of Wales allegedly saw the Duchess of Sussex as a “rival” when she married into the royal family.
And now more details of the alleged feud have been revealed in Omid Scobies new book – Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival.
It claims Kate and William allowed their cabinet to circulate some of the worst rumours about the Sussexes.
And it allegedes the princess sees her American sister-in-law as a joke.
Omid told French magazine Paris Match: “Every time she hears about Meghan, Kate shudders and giggles”.
The book says a close friend of Kate claimed: “She spent more time talking about Meghan… than with Meghan.”
Endgame also details the frayed relationship between William and Harry.
In it, Omid writes: “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.
“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.”
Scobie also claims Harry’s “freedom to to exert his own thinking outside of the confines of the institution has made him the enemy”.
He claims this is the reason why “there’s no going back” for the two princes.
The book details how William believes his brother has been “brainwashed by an army of therapists” and no longer recognises him.
The book has been described as “explosive”, with Scobie also describing King Charles as “unpopular”.
He also alleged Prince William is “power hungry” and wrote Queen Camilla is “willing to go to dangerous lengths to preserve her image”.
And a publishing source told the Mail on Sunday the 416-page book will contain “bombshell after bombshell”.
Scobie claims to have interviewed “current and former Palace staff” for the book, due out November 21.
The claims comes after Prince Harry rang his father yesterday to wish him a happy 75th birthday — their first conversation in more than six months.
The monarch is also said to have spoken with Meghan during the transatlantic call on a packed day of engagements.
A source said: “The King was extremely busy but is polite and loves his son and his grandchildren, and not so mean that he would not take a call on his birthday.”
The Sun has contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.
