Renowned as Prince Harry's wife Meghan Markle's 'mouthpiece,' royal author Omid Scobie appears to have become entangled in the feud between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the royal establishment.
The Dutch edition of the book, initially misprinted and later replaced, inadvertently or perhaps deliberately, disclosed the identities of royals allegedly expressing concerns about the skin color of Harry and Meghan's son, Archie, before his birth, causing global shockwaves.
In light of the recent controversy surrounding his actions, Scobie's latest statement suggests he might have been under the influence of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
During an interview with News Week, Scobie shared crucial advice with the former Hollywood star based on his memoir-writing experience, urging Meghan to embrace authenticity and honesty in her potential book.
A seemingly disheartened Scobie returned to the topic, expressing, "To earn the reader's respect, your portrayal must be entirely human, transparent in your depiction of yourself. It must be candid, occasionally embarrassing—a true reflection of a human being rather than the polished image of a public figure aiming for a specific perception."
These words from Scobie further fuel speculation that he is privy to Meghan's intentions and may have sourced information for his book directly from Harry's wife.
In contemplating the comparative interest of Harry's potential memoir versus a memoir from Meghan, Scobie opined, "His [Harry's] book would always be more intriguing than if Meghan wrote a memoir because I think Meghan has a much more curated take on her image and how it should be. Harry has always been very candid," shedding light on the author's perspective.
Omid Scobie, reportedly in a tense situation since the release of his new book, appears to harbor regret over his attempt to defend and support the narrative of the California-based couple.
