In the process of promoting his new book, Finding Freedom, Omid Scobie is claiming that Prince William and Prince Harry are not on speaking terms. This contradicting a recent Fox News report stating that they were speaking… just not on a personal level.

Scobie reports that the brothers have not spoken since “around the time of the Sandringham summit,” that found Prince Harry navigating his escape from the royal family.

“They hadn’t seen each other. That’s really going to take some time to heal. I think the distance between the brothers grew wider and wider. And that’s partly because of things that take place – and we discuss them in the book,” says Scobie with the deep tease.

He goes on to explain, “I think really where it went wrong for Harry and Meghan and the Cambridges was that decision to go public with the road map to their new working model.” The royal family was apparently blindsided by Prince Harry and Meghan’s comments to the media.

“The statements weren’t discussed internally. That’s really what caused the most amount of hurt to William, because he wears two hats. He’s not just the brother, he’s also future king and he felt that damaged the reputation of the family.” The Cambridges have notoriously played by the royal rules since day one.

Scobie continues, “That it put family business out into the public domain when it should’ve been discussed privately and there was a lot of hurt there that continues to this day.”

Do you believe that the brothers have severed all ties? Diana was always so insistent that Harry be there to support William once he was king. She would undoubtedly be heartbroken by the situation.
