'Sophie Wessex Responds to Omid Scobie's Controversial Claims in 'Endgame''

Sophie Wessex Reportedly Upset Over Omid Scobie's Allegations

Friends of Sophie Wessex are expressing frustration with royal author Omid Scobie for what they deem as a discrediting portrayal of the Duchess of Edinburgh in his latest book, "Endgame."

The Duchess of Edinburgh, married to Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, and the younger brother of King Charles III, is said to be angered by her involvement in the revived racism controversy sparked by Scobie's contentious book.

Scobie, described as Meghan Markle's 'mouthpiece,' alleges in "Endgame" that Sophie Wessex provided little support to Meghan during her challenging adjustment to royal life. The book also claims that Sophie, along with Princess Kate and Queen Camilla, ignored Meghan outside Westminster Abbey during the late Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral, accusing her of being "casually bigoted."

Friends of Sophie have vehemently contested these claims, labeling them as "blatantly untrue." They highlight Sophie's efforts to reach out and support Meghan, noting that she even invited the Duchess of Sussex to her Surrey home, Bagshot Park, for a one-on-one conversation.

A senior royal source revealed to the Sun that during their meeting, Sophie offered valuable advice to Meghan based on her own experiences transitioning into royal life. The source mentioned that Sophie found Meghan likable and engaging, expressing surprise when the Duchess of Sussex did not extend a return invitation to Frogmore Cottage.

Scobie discusses Sophie's response to Meghan and Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey in "Endgame." In the interview, Sophie downplayed her knowledge of Oprah, stating, "if you’re not into chat shows, there’s no reason why you should know who she is. Certainly not in this country, anyway."

Scobie criticizes this response in the book, interpreting it as potentially 'casually bigoted.' The controversy surrounding "Endgame" adds another layer to the ongoing discussions about the dynamics within the royal family.
