Reconciliation between Prince Harry and rest of the royal family is impracticable after a peep behind the walls if the royal family, Omid Scobie has said.
The authour, who is closely acquainted with the Sussexes, told BBC Radio 4 today that it is very unlikely there will be any reconciliation between the feuding siblings anytime soon, after all the bombshells revealed in Prince Harry’s book ‘Spare’ which hits the book shelves on January 16.

Excerpts from the book which have been doing the rounds in the press has shown Harry to have held no punches back in his all out attack on his family, in order to tell his story, but at the expense of his entire immediate family. He has accused his father of being jealous of his wife Meghan grabbing the lime light, revealed that his brother attacked him in a rage, but he did not retaliate, and expressed his disapproval of father’s marriage to Queen Consort Camilla.
On top of that, Prince Harry has said his family held stereotypical views against his wife because she is bi-racial, successful and a divorcee, and that his brother Prince William and wife Kate Middleton, did not get on with Meghan Markle from the get go. After all that he says he never suggested his family was racist, but that they displayed subconscious bias.
The claims which are offensive to his family, who are so far remaining silent, has two sides of the story. His family have adopted a traditional silence to the latest attacks, in order to avoid dragging the family issues though the mud in pubic.

Scobie said: He added: “This is really just Harry sort of pulling the curtain back on it all. We’re actually getting, I guess, the look behind palace walls that we’ve always wanted.”
Authour Scobie(pictured) is now convinced that Harry is clearly “very confident in the story that he’s telling”, as it has taken him a long time to get to the point of acceptance.
When the author was asked if he gets the feeling from the royal couple’s team that that this is how they intend to continue, he said he thinks the pair “have to be quite careful right now”.
He went on to add that there has been a lot of focus on their private life recently.
Their brand has “very much about drama” and a “soap opera” that has been played out publicly, Mr Scobie added.
“I think we’re going to see, for the rest of this year, a couple sort of retreating from a lot of what we’ve seen over the last few months.
“They’ve both shared their sides of the story. Harry more in many, many ways, in more ways than we could have ever imagined.
“There isn’t really much else to say and so I think we will see a shift in the months ahead. That said, when it comes to talking about reconciliation, that is very difficult after the amount that he has shared in this book,” he said.
Scobie has in the past strongly defended the Sussexes, and is more an advocate of the couple than a neutral critic of the situation, holding the view that the royal family are entirely wrong in this family dispute.
The bullying allegations against Meghan Markledo not seem tp feature anywhere in assessing the now seemingly irreversible damage done to the relationships,. Meghan Markle was pushed to the brink of any ill conduct she may have demonstrated, Scobie can be assumed to believe.
If Harry’s version of events is to be believed, his wife was not his brother’s cup of team from the very start, and so proceeded to feed the press with an exaggerated narrative about Meghan, so much that it drove the duke of sussex mad enough to leave Britain with his wife, and then unleash this bomb in revenge for his family’s lack of intervention in curbing the press.
The revelations highlight a lot of pain from Harry , who decided to tell it all, going very deep in his ‘no limit’s revelation of intimate details that took place behind the scenes.
He says it needed to be told because he wants accountability before there can be healing.
Healing at the moment looks a long way away.
