Finding Freedom author Omid Scobie has denied claims Prince Harry “shouted” at the Queen over Meghan Markle’s wedding tiara.

During an interview with True Royalty TV, which was broadcast on Monday, Omid spoke about ‘tiara gate’, and revealed that Prince Harry called his grandmother over the incident.

The Prince was reportedly frustrated with the Queen’s long-time dresser Angela Kelly, as she “deliberately dragged her feet” when Meghan asked to try on the tiara before their wedding day.

Omid said: “Harry had to intervene. He called his grandmother and said, ‘I don’t know what the hell is going on. This woman needs to make this work for my future wife.'”

“Harry felt that there were those within the institution that would stop at nothing at the very least to make Meghan’s life difficult.”

Following Omid’s interview, news outlets reported that he said Prince Harry “shouted” at the Queen – but the book author has since set the record straight.

Taking to Twitter on Monday night, the royal watcher tweeted: “I’ve tried to stay off Twitter in the recent days but I need to comment on false reporting that has been attributed to me.”

“I NEVER said Prince Harry ‘yelled’ or ‘shouted’ at The Queen — not in an interview or in the book. Ridiculous claim to make.”

In another tweet, Omid said: “The book goes into great detail about Prince Harry’s respect and admiration for The Queen, so it really bothered me to see this kind of reporting put out there as it’s so far from what is described on the pages.”

In the same TV interview, Omid claimed Prince Harry and his brother Prince William have barely spoken since he announced his plans to step down as a senior member of the royal family.

He said: “The brothers had not spoken since around the time of the Sandringham summit. They hadn’t seen each other. That’s really going to take some time to heal.”

“I think the distance between the brothers grew wider and wider. And that’s partly because of things that take place – and we discuss them in the book.”

He continued: “I think really where it went wrong for Harry and Meghan and the Cambridges was that decision to go public with the road map to their new working model.”

“The statements weren’t discussed internally. That’s really what caused the most amount of hurt to William, because he wears two hats.”

“He’s not just the brother, he’s also future king and he felt that damaged the reputation of the family.”

“That it put family business out into the public domain when it should’ve been discussed privately and there was a lot of hurt there that continues to this day,” he added.
