Heads up, Omid is back on the PR trail...

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/royals/harry-meghan-author-omid-scobie-31362434

BTW, can anyone explain why he's Harper's Royal reporter when he only seems to have access to or report on Harry and Meghan? It's a bit strange.

Harry and Meghan's biographer calls King Charles 'unpopular' in scathing jibe

Omid Scobie's new 'explosive' book Endgame will be published on November 28 - and its description on Amazon says the author investigates the current state of the British monarchy

Bit of a greasy weasel, isn't he?

I assume he'll make a lot of money from this, but going forwards I can't imagine what he is going to do professionally: he hasn't covered himself with positivity and integrity. Stories from the Sussexes will surely peter out.

AliceOlive · 04/11/2023 22:26

“Scathing jibe” 😂😂😂

queentim · 04/11/2023 23:23

I'm looking forward to reading it.

As far as I'm aware, he used to report in ALL the British royal family and he reported on them fairly

queentim · 04/11/2023 23:24

I don't think he has done much reporting anymore but probably because he's been busy writing

Mytattooisbiggerthanyours · 04/11/2023 23:30

What a crock of shite.

SmugglersHaunt · 05/11/2023 01:01

That oily grifter makes my flesh crawl.

themessygarden · 05/11/2023 06:37

'What a crock of shite.' 💩never a truer word said.

As IF anyone in the Royal Household would be giving him inside information , 🤔🙄, he even makes up his own age, which varies from year to year.

ElevenSeven · 05/11/2023 06:38

He has to carry on peddling for H&M as everyone knows what he’s like, his reputation is shot so he can’t do anything else.

Book will be nonsense like all his others.

He also needs a much better plastic surgeon.

Covetthee · 05/11/2023 06:42

He is a little bitch basically.

i know him personally ( well from a few years ago now) we used to run in the same circles during our clubbing days and even back then he was a shit stirrer and was always causing problems between everyone with the constant he said.. she said and for some reason he always got away with it🙄 i finally distanced myself from that group as they all lived for the drama

take everything he says with a pinch of salt

lovelyjubbly888 · 05/11/2023 06:49

Why does he look like that? I don’t like to comment on peoples appearances but he looks fucking terrifying.

Newnow · 05/11/2023 07:14

He's like a dog with a bone, yes?

My guess is it's become his special interest and he's got to fund his lifestyle somehow. Sleezy, greasy hasbeen, if ever was.

Newnow · 05/11/2023 07:15

@lovelyjubbly888 drugs, alcohol, cosmetic surgery.

All of this!

TodayInahurry · 05/11/2023 08:02

Do people actually buy his books? From the little I have read about him, I think he makes most of it up!

Good for you for getting away from that type of toxic environment!
IMO scobie needs H&M and their maelstrom they create and vice Versa - it's clear the world are very tired of their 'truths'

Serenster · 05/11/2023 08:44

The titles of the first nine chapters were revealed by Omid in a photo he posted to twitter:

  1. The Queen and Her Piper: Elizabeth II's Final Days
  2. Shaky Ground: The Queen is Dead, the Monarchy Faces Trouble
  3. Oh God, I Hate This': King Charles's Premiere
  4. Remembrance of Things Past: The Ongoing Campaign to Make the Royals Great Again
  5. Baggage: The Lingering Trials of King Charles
  6. The Fall of Prince Andrew: Scandal, Shame and Silencing Jane Doe
  7. Race and the Royals: Institutional Bigotry and Denial
  8. Gloves On: Prince William, Heir to the Throne
  9. Gloves Off: Prince Harry, Man on a Mission

Sounds like it’s written from a very definite viewpoint - seeing Omid’s tweets though, that’s not remotely surprising.

boxedandribboned · 05/11/2023 09:34

Just a hunch, but I suspect this book will turn out to be quite damaging and that Harry and Meghan will end up deeply regreting their association with Omid...

It will probably sell well? People are nosy

Gloriously · 05/11/2023 09:49

Is he still their unofficial spokesperson or not?

I remember he tweeted at the time of the NYC car chase shenanigans.....is he still commenting on H&M?

TabithatheTabbycat · 05/11/2023 10:04

A quick glance at his Twitter (shudder) reveals some uncritical updates on Harry's outings and various sneery tweets about King Charles (including a recent one criticising him for walking on the red carpet laid out by his hosts in Kenya). Various people have replied with images of Harry and Meghan walking on red carpets in Fiji etc by way of response.

He seems to hate Charles, Camilla etc as much as Meghan does 🙄

Serenster · 05/11/2023 10:07

I imagine he’s pretty busy with the imminent book launch right now, but he’s still tweets about pretty much everything the Sussexes do , and very selectively about any other Royals. And in the latter case, only really if it fits with his agenda.

So, he tweeted that Charles and Camilla were to visit Kenya, but then only mentioned the words Charles spoke about past British violence in Kenya and nothing else about the visit.

Until yesterday when he randomly tweeted that the “optics”of the King and Queen walking on a red carpet at Nairobi National Parl were “clueless and out of touch” and suggested that a “clued up palace aide” could have asked for it to be removed. Kenyan journalists were fairly quick to respond pointing out to him that this is completely the norm in Kenya for any dignitary - one even linked to an article from a few years ago from a Nairobi paper asking why Kenyan leaders were obsessed with red carpets. And pointed out that his Western saviour arrogance and condescension was ridiculous.

TabithatheTabbycat · 05/11/2023 10:08

@Serenster a much more accurate explanation than mine! 😁

Newnow · 05/11/2023 10:12

And pointed out that his Western saviour arrogance and condescension was ridiculous. 😂Isn't this always the case?

Mylovelygreendress · 05/11/2023 10:16

I cannot imagine any member of the Royal household speaking to OS and the only family members will be H and M .

Gloriously · 05/11/2023 10:18

I wonder if H&M have withdrawn from him?

Maybe they only used him when they needed him ie before they left the RF set up delivering their own communication campaigns?

If they now have more professional agencies running their global communications strategy - I doubt the agencies would work alongside OS?

Have they ever been seen together socially?
