As Prince William and Kate Middleton solidify their roles as future king and queen, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle navigate an uncertain future, according to Omid Scobie, the author of the upcoming book 'Endgame.' In a cover story with PEOPLE, Scobie stated that individuals close to the Sussexes admit that their post-royal journey hasn't gone exactly as planned, emphasizing the need for Harry and Meghan to define their purpose.
Since announcing their decision to step back as senior royals in January 2020, Harry and Meghan moved to California, where they launched their nonprofit, Archewell, encompassing Archewell Productions and Archewell Audio. They secured multimillion-dollar deals with Spotify and Netflix, with varying degrees of success. The couple recently parted ways with Spotify and faced criticism for their content output on Netflix.
Meghan teased upcoming projects at a recent event, expressing pride in their creative endeavors. However, Scobie underscored the challenges the Sussexes face in establishing a clear direction for their future.
In Scobie's new book, he delves into the strained relationship between Prince Harry and Prince William, emphasizing the depth of the damage between the brothers. Despite Prince Harry's candid revelations in his memoir 'Spare,' released in January, the book suggests that little has changed in the dynamic between the two siblings. The author describes the current state as one of indifference, with the hurt and anger solidifying into a colder and more immovable distance.
As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex forge their path in the United States, Prince William and Kate Middleton remain focused on their roles and responsibilities in the U.K. The royal family's dynamic is explored in Scobie's book, shedding light on the challenges and tensions within the monarchy.
For additional insights, PEOPLE's cover story provides an in-depth look at the evolving roles of the royal couples and the impact on the future of the monarchy.
