Now it is assumed that Prince Harry stopped communicating with one of his close school friends Tom Inskip because of Meghan Markle. Inskip, known as Skippy, was a guest at the Sussex’s lavish royal wedding on May 19, 2018 at Windsor Castle. However, he and his wife were absent from the evening reception, which caused a lot of surprise. The royal authors reflected on Skippy’s absence at the wedding of his childhood friends.
Prince Harry was unhappy with Tom Inskip because of his comments about Meghan Markle
In their book “In Search of Freedom”, royal authors Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie revealed the reason why Tom Inskip missed the wedding evening of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. According to royal writers, the Duke of Sussex was very hurt by Skippy’s comments about his relationship with Markle. Skippy advised his childhood friend to slow down the pace of their relationship. He wanted the Sussexes to have a live relationship before tying the knot.
Although Inskip had no malicious intentions, Prince Harry took offense and thus forbade him to attend his wedding party. It is noteworthy that Skippy and his wife Lara attended the wedding and the dinner reception, as they were hosted by Queen Elizabeth II. In addition, Caroline Durand and Omid Scobie said that Inskip expressed his disappointment with his other friends. He believed that the graduates of “Force Majeure” had changed his friend too much and lost him.
“Many of Harry’s old friends said that the evening guest list was the Prince and his fiancee’s way of saying, ‘These are the people we want to see in our lives moving forward,'” the two authors further wrote in the book, as mentioned by the Hindustan Times.
