Omid Scobie writing tell all book

[CosmosQueen]

The biographer of the Duke and Duchess of Sussexwarned that his next book will reveal moments that the Royal family should be “ashamed of”.
Omid Scobie claimed he was one of few journalists writing about the Royal family whose work was impartial and “spin-free”
As such, he said his forthcoming book, provocatively titled Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival, would focus on the negative as much as the positive and would shine a light on “unsolved mysteries”
“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 wrote in the I newspaper

Just when will this end? I feel so sorry for their poor children who will have to live with the knowledge that their parents and his obnoxious individual were prepared to do anything to make money.

Meghan states specifically they were married 3 days before in a private ceremony in their garden. She states the wedding 'this big spectacle' was for the public. She keeps telling people she is intelligent so does anyone really think she believes they were accidentally married?

Married is the word she used. Not blessing. Not vows. It was an out an out lie told to spin the narrative their love story was special and the pomp and ceremony was for everyone else when in fact the huge wedding was an integral part of the life in Hollywood she really wanted.

Hence inviting Hollywood elite she barely knew. She was simply deflecting away from the criticism it attracted. Spending virtually no time actually working for the RF, having a lavish wedding and spending about £100K on clothing in that time. Not to mention taking titles they didn't earn and also making sure their children had titles that would be useful in the future. All the while trashing the institution that gave her the lifestyle she wanted.

Sitting in a chicken coop to show her simple lifestyle. Yep my other leg does have bells on.

@Cherrymuffincake202 You can believe whatever you want It doesn't make it the truth. I personally don't read any newspapers so I don't build my beliefs from there.

Brilliant post. So good I read it twice.

And isn't it ironic... in trying to preserve the Monarchy in its antiquated state, the media really home in on stories about H&M because that gets clicks. Whereas something like Edward or Sophie going on a caribbean tour earlier this year, barely gets a look in. 40 years of Prince of Wales Charitable Fund yesterday with a celebration.. barely reported. It's all scratching around for news on H&M. Even on here! We're back to the wedding. Yawn.

she was met with racism, snobbery and outright opposition within palace walls right from the outset - and I can imagine her being labelled as “trouble” simply because she did challenge some instructions and traditions and she wouldn’t blindly obey.

So agree with this. American, bi-racial, divorced actress... the snobbery must've been off the wall. They probably all had a touch of the vapours!

And yes, the Queen covered up all the cracks, of which there were many, and along comes Meghan.

And I agree, whilst the Queen was still alive but stepping back understandably due to age, Charles in the wings and no firm hand on what was going on. I think M&H were handled appallingly. Yes H&M made mistakes too, but a woman of colour, who had made her way in the world, was empowered and took no shit, was one step too far for the Institution.
What an opportunity they missed.

The creaking Institution will flounder along with no one that interested, unless something untoward happens... apart from Kate's latest outfit of course, that will always be reported.

I think it's a bit more simple than that. I don't think there's a conspiracy against H and M. I just think it's a bit of a soap opera.

I agree. They will always be reported on because they add a bit of interest when there is nothing much else going on. But in the grand scheme of things, they are not that important. The monarchy has gone through much worse, like the actual King deciding to leave his job. The Sussexes are a long way down in terms of hierarchy. They will have little influence on its future. It will be other forces that do that.

I agree with you, @smilesy . The interviews, books, tv shows etc just give people something to talk about. They're probably running out of things to say about their life in the RF so I suspect it'll all die down.

The only reason people find the couple so interesting is it's a slow motion train crash. Fascinating how two people had so much potential and so many opportunities yet have managed to cock the whole thing up

The King abdicating was nearly 90 years ago! A very different time. The media needs handling in a totally different way.

Of course H&M are a long way down in terms of hierarchy. And not that important. BUT why doesn't the media stop scores of articles every day then? Why are there so many threads on here? They must be important to someone for this to happen!

I think they are perfectly happy. I wouldn't worry if I were you.

Shame for the media and others who keep saying how unimportant they are... can't stop talking about them day in day out!

I think once h and m stop giving them so much fuel. That's not victim blaming and you can talk about your life if you want, but you must know if it's going to be headline grabbing

Nothing is happening now. No news about them. So we're back to the wedding. It's like Benjamin Button lol... we'll be talking about roast chicken engagement in no time!

Yea. Let's brush betrayal , lies, and attempts to destroy the monarchy under the carpet. My divorce was years ago so I'd better not allow myself the luxury of thinking about his lies and betrayal.

@Cherrymuffincake202 such an excellent post, especxially your observations on the Queen and Phillip, I have never understood why anyoen can't see how utterly ruthless and out of date those two were with the way they ran things

So many people have swallowed the tabloid spin on all of this. As we have seen this week the tabloids spin facts and deliberately set out to destroy individual reputations. And they now have a stranglehold over the monarchy and the BBC and many other important institutions too who are all afraid of their power. Everyone is dancing to their tune. I can well believe that PC and QC have sacrificed their relationship with Harry in order to preserve their own standing with the press.

Totally agree with the above. Its shocking how people just swallow what media tell them. No critical thinking at all.

What on earth has your divorce got to do with this thread

(sorry you are suffering with it, by the way. I mean that)

They were not legally married. Fact.

They had a wedding ceremony, and it was meaningful to them. Legal or not, that's their story of their marriage. Its such an odd thing to do to insist what day should be meaningful to a couple. I wouldn't have felt like a huge televised event was special either.

and there is that little attempted put down against anyone who disagrees with you....why can't you accept that others hold different beliefs and don't need to be slagged off? I don't see anyone questioning your mental ability so why do you do that to others?

Meaningful yes but legally married no.

@Roussette I'm simply saying that the RF can't just be told to forget what was said about them. As a British person I can't forget about being told I'm racist and my country being unfairly labelled. When Meghan and harry have both been exposed as liars I feel it's right to keep this pattern of behaviour exposed and current so that we are on our guard against the next offering.

When they start behaving in a reasonable way and do something constructive which doesn't involve harming others I'll give them their free pass.

I see a lot of the same gaslighting from the couple hence disliking their behaviour.

@SidekickSylvia Thank you got that. My point was simply I cannot forget the hurt because someone says old news move on, and the lies harry and Meghan told we're so hideous I refuse to accept they should be given a free pass

If they apologised and retracted their lies I would have some respect for them.

Being a source of gossip and entertainment doesn’t make you important though, does it? Yes the media was different when Edward viii abdicated, but he was still the actual King and so he was constitutionally important. Unlike the Sussexes.

They want to be talked about day in and day out. That much is obvious. They could have chosen to go off into the sunset and live their lives quietly and privately. They chose to push themselves into the public area at every opportunity. Especially when the RF are in the news , by some coincidence !
They set themselves up as moral arbiters and don’t miss any opportunity to lecture from their pulpit. That opens them up to scrutiny. They are highly critical of others and extremely smug .

who called you personally a racist? Meghan? when? the Uk is racist though, the UN's report earlier this year was quite clear about it. Denying racism exists is very much part of the problem of racism.

Really? How long do you typically hold on to that? I suggest talking to someone about it, it does you no good not to let stuff go and move on with your life.
