Experts hit out at writer for latest savage attacks against Charles and the Waleses

- Giles Sheldrick Chief Reporter

PRINCE Harry has been told that if he wants to repair his rift with the Royal Family he should stem the tide of venomous attacks from his "cheerleader in chief".

Another bombshell book is to portray senior royal figures as dysfunctional and opportunistic.

The allegations are made by Duke and Duchess of Sussex loyalist Omid Scobie, who cites unnamed sources.

His book claims Charles is not enjoying being King and alleges William is a hothead who employs the dark arts of publicity.

Royal author Margaret Holder said: "If Harry wants to heal the rift with his family, he needs to stop the victim agenda and start taking a more mature stance by accepting blame for his own role in the breakdown of family cohesion." She added: "Harry could be more protective of his family and tell sources who speak to Scobie to end any association with him.

"If people believe [he] speaks for Harry and Meghan, that is simply helping to damage the Royal Family and any chance of a reconciliation with the Sussexes." Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival by Scobie dubbed Harry and Meghan's "cheerleader in chief" - is due to be published in hardback in the UK tomorrow.

Experts said that damaging revelations in it would reverberate throughout the next generation of royals and pit the Waleses' three children against Harry and Meghan's two.

Dai Davies, ex-head of royal protection for the Met Police, said: "This is clearly a hatchet job." He added: "This sounds like an attempt to drive a wedge between the King and William." Mrs Holder added about the book yesterday: "I don't dispute his right to present the case for a modernised monarchy on that I agree with him but I do regret his quoted savaging of William and Catherine.
