Royal biographer, Omid Scobie, has come under fire for his treatment of the Royal Family, alongside his close ties to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Scobie, who came to prominence in 2020 with the release of his book ‘Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan’ which followed the Sussexes’ married lives and their departure from the UK and royal duties.

“And what a strange name for a book! Endgame? It sounds like a sort of Hollywood blockbuster starring someone very macho.
“It’s very strange. I mean, Omid Scobie has made a career, really, of fuelling this feud. They are making a lot of money off the pain of the family. Of the slight tragedy between this very damaged boy, Harry, and Charles who as I understand is really suffering because of this thing.
He’s very upset about the whole thing, and the way it’s gone. And he feels it very deeply and I think, you know, he’s 75. I don’t know, I always think with families, you don’t want your relative to suffer if you love them, do you? It just seems that everything that Harry does is designed to hurt Charles in some sort of a way.”
Mail on Sunday’s Charlotte Griffiths weighed in on Scobie’s ‘revelations’: “It explains in Omid’s book, Harry’s opinions were too dangerous for the Royal Family. They had to get rid of him because he’s ‘so important and so dangerous’.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Omid Scobie previously co-wrote a book about the Sussexes (above)PA“I mean, Harry’s opinions aren’t that well-valued to be honest. They’re off all over the place in different directions.
“There’s an intimation that Harry was this loose cannon, this dangerous threat to the monarchy. I mean the monarchy has lasted 1,000 years without Harry having some negative opinions.
“It’s all very Hollywood blockbuster as you say. He’s not this ‘great defector’, he’s a wayward individual who has caused a lot of trouble and is an irritant possibly, but Harry can’t use a word like ‘irritant’ because he thinks of himself as too important for that.
“In that way I feel there is an Omid link there because Omid has made them seem like this grandiose couple who are a threat to the monarchy!”
