The Duke of Sussex, 34, reportedly banished his best mate Tom ‘Skippy’ Inskip after he warned Harry against marrying Meghan. 

According to The Sun, Harry wasted no time in cutting ties with his inner-circle of friends in a bid to distance himself from his old ‘partying ways’.

‘Tom “Skippy” Inskip, the ultraloyal, tight-lipped Harry pal who, it’s said, advised Harry not to marry Meghan and has paid the price: banishment”,’ an article in Tatler alleges.

‘Skippy’ was involved in the infamous Las Vegas night in 2012, where Harry was caught playing naked billiards with showgirls in a hotel suite.
