Why Prince Harry 'banished' his best mate

The royal cold shoulder! - by April Glover
  • 27 Mar 2019

Prince Harry has 'frozen out' some of his closest friends since his wedding to Meghan Markle in May last year.

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.

Prince Marry met his banker friend when they attended Eton together and have been 'inseparable' ever since, royal sources report.

Harry even played a key role at 'Skippy'’s Jamaican wedding in 2017, which was one of Meghan’s first known appearances with the royal.

'Skippy' is not the only person close to the royal who advised Harry against marrying the divorced actress.

Prince William, 36, also 'advised (his brother) against rushing into marriage', Tatler reports.
