In an excerpt from royal biographer Omid Scobie’s latest, Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival, Scobie writes that, on the day that would ultimately be Queen Elizabeth’s last, Prince Harry was kept “in the dark” about the severity of her decline in health, was excluded from a flight with other members of the royal family, and was “completely by himself.”
Harry—who was famously close with his grandmother—and wife Meghan Markle happened to be in the U.K. for previously scheduled engagements when Her late Majesty’s health took a turn for the worse on September 8, 2022. An excerpt from the book revealed that Harry got a call from an unknown number (a call he normally wouldn’t pick up), but that Meghan said, “You should answer it.”
