Renowned royal expert Omid Scobie's latest book, "Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival," has stirred up intense conversations about the future of the monarchy.
Just hours before hitting the shelves, Scobie, known for his controversial take on the royals in "Meghan & Harry: Finding Freedom," once again challenges the status quo with five powerful revelations that could potentially jeopardize the reputation of the House of Windsor.
"Kate Middleton's Alleged Ignorance of Meghan Markle's Pleas for Help"
In a surprising revelation, Scobie describes Kate Middleton as "cold" when she dislikes someone and claims this aspect of her personality is seldom discussed. He further suggests that Middleton is not enthusiastic about social events and should be pushed to participate. Most strikingly, the book accuses Middleton of neglecting Meghan Markle's "cries for help," despite advocating for mental health causes, labeling it as inconsistent with her public image.
"Meghan Markle's Letters to King Charles III"
Scobie alleges that Meghan Markle corresponded with King Charles III through letters, revealing details about the individuals expressing concerns about the color of Prince Archie's skin. While Scobie didn't directly interview Meghan for "Endgame," he claims to have acquired information from mutual friends.
"King Charles' Struggle to Command His Family"
"Endgame" portrays King Charles as grappling with the fallout of his inability to effectively lead and manage his family. Scobie suggests that Charles' handling of the Harry and Meghan saga turned them into the disruptors they were initially feared to become. The book criticizes the king for being cold and brief in communication, missing opportunities for reconciliation with Prince Harry.
"Tensions Between King Charles and Prince William"
Scobie hints at a strained relationship between King Charles and his eldest son, Prince William, describing William as a "power-hungry heir." The book suggests that the mistrust and animosity between father and son are longstanding. Despite their disagreements on governance, both Charles and William share frustration towards Prince Harry, whom Charles allegedly refers to as "that fool."
"The Queen's Mixed Sentiments Towards Meghan Markle"
According to Scobie, the Queen has expressed "great sympathy" for Meghan Markle's royal experience. However, the book notes that the Queen "does not respect" the behavior of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Prince Harry, in the past, has criticized his stepmother, describing her as "dangerous" and questioning her attempts to enhance her "image" at his expense.
