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.

it hinges on misperceptions of what the Royal rota is. It's not some inner circle with mysterious privileges.

That made me laugh. Like the royal rota is the masonic core of the British press. I wonder if they perch on their stepladders with a trouser leg rolled up. 😂

I think aprons and little hammers are involved.

Or is that Lord of the Rings and hobbits?

Sorry? I don't understand

My friend has volunteered there for years (night bus and more)

What are you saying? She's lying about her experience at a charity Meghan visited?

P.s
My friend is not a Meghan fan, she spoke as she found

Dismiss it all you want, it makes you look a bit ummmm... Well let's not go there lol

I think it's pretty clear that she's pointing out that you are posting hearsay, not direct experience.

Just as I posted hearsay about how those actually at a visit by W&K really welcomed it, despite huge press criticism

Your friend may be speaking as she finds. But you haven't found anything. You're just repeating someone else's opinion. Which is fine if that's what you'd said.

@MamoruHisaishi I can't even begin to reply to all that. Where's your evidence for Meghan 'spinning away in the background' etc?

You know what, I don't care anyway, I don't have the energy for the amount of spiteful bile on these boards - it's disgusting. Are you lot just permanently angry or something? Why not spend this much energy focusing on the ones you supposedly LOVE?

M&H don't want to come back. Get over it.

Thank you, @EdithWeston. You explained it better than me. There's nothing wrong with saying a friend had a great experience with them. It's a valid evidence to the good they did. But if you say you speak as you find, it's the very definition of it being your own first hand experience rather than someone else's.

Hearsay ok!
This is a friend of 60 years. She'd lie to me. Ok!

We've known each other forever , believe me when I say she speaks as she finds and is not a huge Meghan fan. More, don't care than actively disliking but said amongst her volunteers and others at the charity, they really enjoyed her visit, no bad feeling.

I give up on these threads I honestly do

It's so pathetic. I have never ever quoted a personal experience from someone I know really well. Unlike others. I'll leave it there, cos whatever I say will be dismissed as 'hearsay' from someone who I've known all my life

Why aren't you spending time with the ones you love instead of wasting your time on here?

The only I love is at the rugby club. Won't be home for hours yet!

We've known each other forever, believe me when I say she speaks as she finds

Exactly! She speaks as she finds because she's got the experience. You're repeating her opinion. No one us,saying her opinion is,wrong. But it's her experience not yours.

She is closer than a sister but ok she lies 😳

Ok.

I could've lied and said it was me couldn't I? I didn't

I've known her 60 years but she's making it up

This is pathetic and the last time I'll bring a personal experience on here. I don't do it

I did hesitate. Bad move from me

Won't be answering again. Dismiss it all you like

I don't get you at all. You're going out of your way to misunderstand/ misrepresent what I'm saying.
No one has said your friend has lied abut her experience. Literally I've said hers is a valid opinion so why are you saying I'm calling your friend a liar? 🤷‍♀️

@Mackerson

Best to ignore and move on.

That is however the definition of hearsay, no matter how little you might like to see it applied to this example.

I know you're right, @Howsimplywonderful. But I don't like it when I'm accused of saying something I've not. If I thought someone was lying, I'd say, I don't believe you.
But I do believe that there are many people that aren't fussed about the royals, but they get excited about meeting them and really enjoy it. I'd never call them liars because I think that it's rather nice and quite big of them to admit that, despite previous apathy, meeting the royals is actually a positive experience.

It was clear what you were saying - that that was one person's opinion as opposed to a wider audience.

Thank you, Dolly. I appreciate that.

If anyone knows a direct experience of something, quite happy to listen

As opposed to rubbishing something no one knows about.

@Mackerson

I quite understand.

Course you do!

@Mackerson I can also understand what you are saying about direct experience vs hearsay

So you don't believe that Meghan has been leaking via the press about her new projects coming up - All to distract from the bad news? You honestly don't see her playing the PR game? That doesn't make it spiteful bile, that's just common sense as she's a celebrity and PR is part of being a celebrity.

You are the one who’s angry and upset that Meghan and Harry are getting so much bad news. Why does it bother you so much that I criticize them? I don't care if the sussexss don't want to come back. I'm actually glad they're not, after they sh*t on their dying family members and dragged William and kate’s kids into their publicity tour, no way should they be allowed to come back.

Roussette* fwiw I think it’s obvious that the opinion of a long-standing friend of yours in rl who is neutral about H & M is worth far more than an opinion piece written by a tabloid journalist with an agenda.

But you will be hounded on here if you say anything positive about H & M because there is some sort of hate mafia against them who seem to take turns defending their stance on Mumsnet! As you say, wierd to spend so much time hating people they don’t know and being sucked in to the tabloid maelstrom.

Surely it’s obvious to most people that if you ever find yourself on the same side as Piers Morgan or Dan Wootten (sp?) then you need to give yourself a big old shake and a talking to? 😃😃

Anyway, I just came on to report a similar experience through a family member in the East Midlands who works for the homelessness charity sector. She rang me thrilled one day that a tiny charity aligned to them had out of the blue received a personal cheque signed by Meghan M for £10,000 which was a phenomenal sum for a tiny, charitable organisation limping from grant to grant and working at the very grass roots end of the sector.
