Author Omid Scobie, often regarded as a vocal supporter of Meghan Markle, has found himself in a heated exchange with royal fans regarding the couple's recent visit to Nigeria.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), British journalist Scobie defended Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, countering critics who condemned the couple’s trip. As reported by the Mirror, Scobie wrote, "So pressed over an overseas visit that didn’t cost the British taxpayer a penny lol. The state of them."
Scobie, co-author of "Finding Freedom" and author of "Endgame," encouraged others to support the Sussexes, with some labeling the criticism as "pathetic." He further added, "I see the clowns are out in full force again," sharing tweets to his own account to highlight the backlash.
One tweet he shared, from Kevin O'Sullivan, read, "Great weird pretend royal tour of dodgy Nigeria by Harry & Meghan. Where next? Somalia?"
The criticism comes amid reports that King Charles and Prince William are also displeased with Harry and Meghan's trip to Nigeria. A former BBC royal correspondent told OK, "The King and Prince William firmly believe you are either in or out of the working royals. This seems to be a rather strange halfway house. I think both the King and the Prince, and indeed the Government, will want it to be made clear that Harry is not representing either the Royal Family or Britain on this trip."
