Prince William Believes Prince Harry is BRAINWASHED _ E! News

Transcript

00:00 Does Prince William believe Prince Harry has been brainwashed?

00:03 Omid Scobie dropped some major bombshells in his latest book, Endgame, Inside the Royal Family

00:10 and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival. First, the longtime royal correspondent writes that a source

00:16 told him William believes his younger brother has been "brainwashed by an army of therapists."

00:22 Which could add up. In his 2023 memoir, Spare, Harry wrote that William once told him he'd like

00:29 to attend one of his therapy sessions, "because he suspected I was being brainwashed." But as

00:35 Harry noted, William never did. In Endgame, Scobie also writes about Harry and Meghan Markle's 2021

00:42 interview with Oprah Winfrey, during which Harry told Oprah that William and their father, King

00:48 Charles III, were "trapped" by the royal system and therefore he felt "huge compassion for them."

00:56 Well, according to Scobie, a source close to William told him the future king felt,

01:00 quote, "far from trapped in any system." Another major shocker in the book? Scobie claims that a

01:06 source who used to work with Kate Middleton told him Kate was never really a fan of Meghan's.

01:12 She and Harry were close, and Kate, quote, "will always look back fondly on the good times."

01:18 Another source who knows the family told Scobie, but she just doesn't trust Harry anymore, quote,

01:24 "after all the interviews." And there's more where that came from. Ahead of Endgame's November 28th

01:30 release, Scobie tells E! News, "People in Britain, across the Commonwealth, and even around the world

01:36 are more open to having discussions about the future of an irrelevancy of the royal family."

01:41 While Finding Freedom, his 2020 release with Carolyn Durand, probed the circumstances surrounding

01:47 Harry and Meghan's departure from the firm, Endgame's digs into the system that allowed

01:52 those circumstances to flourish. But Scobie says it isn't a sequel to Finding Freedom. Rather,

01:58 with Queen Elizabeth II gone, her son Charles in charge, and William next in line to the throne,

02:05 it's essential to know where the royals stand. He explains, "We're at a crossroads in terms of what

02:10 the family does next, and I think it's important for us to be informed on the inner workings of

02:16 any public institution."
