Prince Harry had concerns for his son Archie

It has been claimed that the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, believed his son Prince Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor had "more security threats" but less security, according to Endgame.

At midnight Omid Scobie's scathing new book Endgame came out. The Royal author, who has been dubbed as Meghan's "mouthpiece" in the past, has penned "a penetrating investigation into the current state of the British monarchy" for his latest book.

Within the confines of Endgame's cover, Scobie claims that Prince Harry believed his young son was under serious threat, with him then given less security while the children of Prince William and Kate Middleton, the now Prince and Princess of Wales, had a "bigger security team".

Touching on how Meghan has several critics online, Scobie addressed how when the Duchess was pregnant, it was claimed that she was faking her pregnancy. Scobie then recalled how a YouTube channel that shared conspiracy theories about Meghan even encouraged followers to try to 'pop' the Duchess of Sussex's 'moon bump'.

One of the Sussexes' most senior member's of staff at the time spilled to Scobie that Meghan was "living in fear". They said: "She’s living in fear . . . not just for herself but for the baby. You can’t expect anyone to live like that".

Scobie then went on to pen: "But the fact that Archie faced more security threats than other royal children did not translate to additional safety measures. Hierarchy still took precedence, and as seventh in line to the throne at the time, Archie was not considered a particularly high priority."

He noted that the Waleses, who were the Cambridge family at the time, "had a bigger security team", which is something Harry was said to be "very aware of".

"No one is thinking about the fact that my wife is biracial, my son is mixed race . . . None of this registers to anyone," Harry told an aide in 2019, it has been claimed by Scobie in Endgame.

Also in the scathing memoir, the Sussexes' idyllic mornings in Montecito are described, which involve no staff and the couple being "hands-on" parents. Scobie noted how as the neighbourhood wakes up, "Meghan already preparing a family breakfast in the kitchen" while Prince Harry is busy getting the couple’s children "ready for nursery school and toddler playgroup".

Continuing to describe the couple's picture-perfect mornings, Scobie said: "Despite the staff on hand to help during the daytime, when Harry and Meghan shift into work mode, the Sussexes keep their mornings as time 'for the family only'."
