A royal family ‘in crisis’: six claims from Omid Scobie’s book Endgame
Journalist claims Charles is angry at William upstaging him, while William thinks Harry has been ‘brainwashed’ by therapistsBrotherly strife
William believes Harry has been “brainwashed” by an “army of therapists”, it is claimed. William also ignored texts from Harry on the day the late Queen died, meaning Harry had to charter a plane to get to Balmor@l, it claims. Scobie quotes Harry telling a friend: “I’m ready to move on past it. Whether we get an apology or accountability, who knows: who really cares at this point?” The book also alleges that the Waleses allowed staff to circulate negative stories about the Sussexes.
Thankful queen
Camilla is alleged to have quietly thanked the TV presenter Piers Morgan for defending “the firm” after he called Meghan “Princess Pinocchio”. Camilla is also described by a former aide as rolling her eyes at “lefty nonsense” such as gender identity, unconscious bias and veganism.

Nine royal revelations from Omid Scobie’s scathing new book Endgame
Finding Freedom author’s latest ‘insider’ book tackles Prince William’s ambitions and his relationship with father Charles

CommentsWilliam snapping at Charles’ heels as ‘ambitious’ prince eyes throneScobie highlights an alleged rift between King Charles and his son, the Prince of Wales. In Endgame, William is painted as an ambitious, hot-headed prince, determined to lead the royal family into the future, with Scobie claiming that he wants to “rip up” the rulebook and do things “the Cambridge way”. He adds that, while William respects his father, the difference in their views might become an issue over the years ahead. Scobie writes that William and Charles are united in their frustration towards Prince Harry but do not see eye to eye about how the institution should be run.

You know, I am sick of hearing about how royals refuse to just chill about press coverage. I am angry that a perfectly respectable man is being personally slandered. Ingrid Seward has done her own numbers, and it is clear that Kate is in fact an active problem and it is clear that the BRF is in crisis because they think every single slip is some kind of apocalyptic mistake. then when something serious IS happening, they screw it up.

All the royals do it. Even the Queen Mother spoke unofficially to writers and we all know that the courtiers are assigned to leak info and are required to coordinate with the press. Nothing wrong with having a favored biographer and I am SICK of how the BRF is bringing their mess here into the States. They are going after, personally, an American citizen and bashing a man who is making a good living and enjoying being famous and just doing his job which is looking after himself. I am so SICK of the BRF trashing anyone who is out in the world making a living either out of necessity or enjoyment/preference. Telegraph: Omid Scobie sent copies of ‘Endgame’ to ‘Sussex Squad influencers’www.celebitchy.com/846781/telegraph_omid_scobie_sent_copies_of_endgame_to_sussex_squad_influencers/www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2023/11/27/omid-scobie-sends-endgame-royal-family-book-influencers/Yes, that is what authors do, they send out books to influencers to publicize their writings. That is what authors do. They end up |

I understand that the RF leak and also provide material to authors and the media. Diana was well known for that. Diana's contribution to the Andrew Morton book may have fast tracked her close relationship with any of her in-laws (if she had such a relationship).
However, MM and Harry need the public to trust them in order for financial gain with their deals etc. Whether MM was directly involved in giving the material to the author or, had spoken to employees or friends who then gave the material is going to backfire (the Endgame). Major companies will not trust them.
If an author cannot fact check and make sure statements made are accurate then what credibility does the book have.
The author is not receiving positive media pubilicity for the book. However he remains in the media spotlight which may assist with book sales.
Apparently the Dutch version of the book has named either one or both of the Royals who supposedly made the statement about Archie. However, I understood Harry backtracked on that at some stage and indicated it was a comment made when he initially started dating MM - something along the lines of interest in what the children would look like.

Omid is not a biographer from Harvard and his biography is not an exercise in perfection. If every royal author were perfect, they would be boring to read. What triggers me is that an American citizen is being outright slandered in the press and defamed and blasted for doing what UK biographers do. Look at how a lot of people have outed the Andrew Morton book about Diana as a pack of lies (and inaccuracies and it was) and how books about Kate are almost overt fawning. I am sick of the UK's BS attitude about every little thing that Meg and her supporters do. SICK OF IT! Sick of her abusiveness, sick of their attitude, sick of how Harry has been bringing his drama and Meg was doing what almost all women do if they have the chance, that is, live the best life with the best opportunities. Omid has a right to make a living, people have a right to work for their own gain that is a basic fact of reality. |

Yes, that can be argued back and forth until the cows come home and I believe is a factor, but it's not the biggest one, IMO. It's just what they (Sussexes/Scobie) CAN reveal.

As a writer and somebody who has done a lot of research herself and has access to some further information, etc , I know that in terms of royal treatment, they have all have it VERY, VERY easy and should realize that far better individuals in their family, recent and from the past, figuratively got tossed to the wolves and all but had their very lives destroyed. And these were ROYALS, through and through. Endgame is just one book and everybody should not take it as the gospel truth, just one writer's perspective of it. But, if you are going to make revelations and accusations about people, you better damn well back up with reliable sources, not reveal catty little tidbits that could be construed as possible libel and subject to legal proceedings. |

With his good work ethic I would have sworn he was. Oh well. To me, the main dislike is how the BRF refuses to play the rules of the public. Shouldn't these idiots be used to stuff being written about them, shouldn't they be used to inaccurate things being written about them? |

Why is the book being pulled in the Netherlands? This is absurd. First, the book's publication and sale should be protected under freedom of speech and it is clear the BRF is acting loony tunes, even for them. It's just a book and the BRF is acting like this is some kind of book that is revealing their security arrangements or stuff from MI6. I'm so tired of the BRF declaring war on every little piece of writing and harassing people who have a right to make a living and for some reason believe that exposing bad behavior is in fact worse than behaving badly. |

Is "outrage" the reason and yes, what about freedom of speech? Can anybody weigh in on any legal aspects? A few touchy people "offended" just doesn't cut it, IMO. www.salon.com/2023/11/29/royals-book-omid-scobie-endgame-netherlands/#:~:text=in%20the%20Netherlands.,now%20being%20pulled%20from%20shelves. But the biggest move to discredit the book has come in the form of trying to stop its sales altogether . . . in the Netherlands. Apparently, the Dutch version of Scobie's book contains sensitive information – a name or names – that hasn't been included in the other copies. Due to the resulting outrage, the Dutch book is now being pulled from shelves. |

If the BRF worked half as hard on themselves as they do on harassing authors and the press, they wouldn't be making such a mess all the time. |

I think the attack on King Charles will backfire. I don't believe he's a racist and that's not the deal, but to supposedly out and attack a King. Yikes, not good. Scobie may be unleashing something very vicious. |
