Omid Scobie Endgame PART 5

[Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar]

A continuing civilised and enjoyable discussion of all things relating to Endgame. Please keep posts on topic - I do not want to have to invoke Ross Gellar again!

God no. They are just trying to get the sales numbers up.

I have downloaded a sample of the Duke of Beaufort's book. That looks as if it might be quite interesting (not because of tales about H), and if it's ever 99p, I might buy it.

I wouldn’t pay 1p for it

Endgame is now 642 on the Amazon best sellers list.

You can see why Scobie claims to be giving up on royal reporting ...
If this is the best he can do there really doesn't seem much point

Yes. This is Endgame for Scobie's career as a royal journalist.

But given that he's a terrible writer and has shown himself to be a spiteful little snitch, what other type of reporting can he turn his 'talents' to? Back to writing about K Pop for Heat magazine?

Wonder if it going cheap will tempt anyone. I’d rather give my pound to charity,

Mulberry, the luxury goods brand, have a £1 charity raffle. Just sayin'. Definitely a better use than 99p for Endgame. In fact, I might just go and donate...

Definitely. We should start a thread, “better things to do with your pound than buy endgame” 😄

there must be a certain humiliation in this, I’m sure the three of them, harry , Megan and Scobie thought it would fly off the shelves. The fact it’s bombed says absolutely everything about how people feel about the situation. No one wants to read more whinging attacks on the royals, from someone like Scobie,and knowing Megan and Harry were behind the book.

im pretty positive Harry and Megan will now quietly distance themselves from him. And if Megan was considering penning her memoirs, or Harry another book or an extra chapter, this will give them signficant pause for thought. There is a very high risk of it bombing and that would be utterly humiliating for them.

Good grief. Those poor girls. Harry certainly is an entitled twat.

It’s sold that badly and it’s been one of the most talked about news items of the last week. Ha.

Stories all starting to creep out of the woodwork, Paddy McGuiness yesterday, Duke of Beaufort today, it's like an interesting Harry themed advent calendar. I wonder what tomorrow's door will bring....?

Indeed, I wonder whether we will be seeing some more stories of undesirable behaviour that were covered up, which poor, put upon Harry has conveniently forgotten about in his quest to paint the RF as his betrayers.

It does seem like there is a bit of an effort here to give Harry a little taste of his own medicine. It should also show him just how protected he was.

It really does show the protection and positive spin. I wonder how H&M are feeling now after this later chapter in their ‘story’. It is sad really, especially for their children. The moral of the story being if you don’t learn from past mistakes, the universe will shout louder and louder.

He’s definitely a more interesting person than Harry and very likely a more insightful writer than Scobie!

That's just what I thought.

One more hypocrisy: all their Archewell top people are white.

The Duke of Beaufort's book is the Unlikely Duke, not the Accidental Duke as the ES says-just in case anyone is interested!

Surely all dukes are accidental? It’s not like they are carefully selected from a field of applicants.

@StickyWickets I laughed at that. Looking forward to opening tomorrow's door !

I've just been, belatedly, introduced to Tattle. We are so tame! I am a little shocked (and bewildered that I can't post on there, it really is a different world)

Might have a wander over and see what the conversation is like! This is the only platform I read so it would be interesting to see how they fare elsewhere.

I ignore anything I don't agree with on there, they are a friendly bunch, just don't go in all guns blazing!! I also go on the Katie Price and celeb secret gossip.

I've got a bit distracted by it all. Good job I can't post, I'd do even less irl . I already spend far too long on here.
