Will reveal moments you will be ashamed of: Meghan biographer’s dare to royals

Omid Scobie claimed that he was one of few journalists writing about the royal family whose work was impartial and “spin-free”.

The biographer of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle warned that his next book will reveal moments that the royal family should be “ashamed of”. Omid Scobie claimed that he was one of few journalists writing about the royal family whose work was impartial and “spin-free”. His forthcoming book, titled ‘Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival’, would shine a light on “unsolved mysteries” of the royal family, he said.

“Endgame not only looks at the successes of our Royal family but also the failures; the things to be proud of and those they should be ashamed of,” he said, adding, “Precisely because this is an establishment that sits at the heart of our society, and a family that has often been held up as role models of civility and decorum, it’s more important than ever we can take an accurate look at whether that still holds today. Just like this country’s politicians, the royals are not, and should not be, above reproach – no matter how desperately certain press secretaries may want you to think so.”

Omid Scobie’s first book- Finding Freedom- made personal revelations about the Sussexes’ private lives. The book was written from the Sussexes a perspective. The new book is expected to be similar as the author said that he had spent time in California- where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle live after stepping down from royal duties in 2020- while working on the book.

“In order to tell a full story, it has to be written without fear of favour – regardless of the consequences. At a time when more people than ever are questioning the relevancy, purpose and role of the monarchy in modern Britain, the need for thorough, spin-free, and well-rounded insight and reporting has never been more important than it is now," he said.
