Royal author Omid Scobie claimed that Kensington Palace fed a British tabloid stories about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in its desperation to quash rumours that Prince William had an affair with longtime friend Rose Hanbury while Kate Middleton was pregnant with Prince Louis.
In his new book "Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival," the biographer said that the palace's then-press secretary Christian Jones repeatedly tried to get The Sun, the first outlet to inquire about the rumours, to stop investigating the story.
