Omid Scobie, who is well-known for co-writing "Finding Freedom" with Caroline Durand in 2020, revealed earlier this week that his second insider book about the British royal family will be released on November 21st. The intriguing aspect that has caught the public's attention is the deliberate timing of "Endgame" to coincide with the historic fire at Windsor Castle.
On the 20th of November in 1992, a devastating fire erupted at Windsor Castle, resulting in the destruction of 115 rooms, including nine State rooms. The fire originated in Queen Victoria's private Chapel when a faulty spotlight ignited a nearby curtain beside the altar. Within minutes, the blaze became uncontrollable and spread to St. George's Hall next door. The fire was initially spotted around 11:30 in the morning, and for the next 15 hours, 225 firefighters from seven counties fought valiantly to extinguish it, finally succeeding at 2:30 a.m. on the 21st of November.
Speculations abound that the title "Endgame" and its release date coinciding with the Windsor Castle fire are perceived by some as a curse from Meghan Markle and her purported influence over Omid Scobie, with intentions to harm the monarchy. Whether Omid Scobie is prepared to face the consequences when karma catches up to him remains to be seen, or whether he holds incriminating evidence against his alleged master.
If "Endgame" contains genuinely groundbreaking information, it will inevitably raise questions about Meghan and Harry being the sources. Scobie's prior work regarding the British royal family lacked substantial material until Meghan Markle's arrival on the scene. Harry's departure from the British royal family has relieved many who perceived him as the weakest link in both mental and moral terms.
Notably, Omid Scobie's background as a junior tabloid journalist casts doubt on his credentials as a trusted royal journalist. Many view him as an impostor when he claims to be a royal journalist, and his reporting style has been seen as highly biased. His association with Meghan Markle has raised suspicions about his impartiality, with a perception that he is firmly in her corner.
Additionally, some have questioned Scobie's statements about his involvement in various royal tours, as there is no official record of him being a member of the royal rota, and he was reportedly banned by the palace. These allegations of dishonesty have only contributed to the skepticism surrounding Omid Scobie and the sources of his information.
In the broader context, the connections and relationships between individuals in Meghan Markle's circle, such as Marcus, Lainey, and Omid, have raised questions about potential collaborations and the credibility of various statements. The discrepancies between Harry's courtroom statements regarding his knowledge of Scobie and the contents of "Finding Freedom," which Scobie co-authored, further add to the intrigue surrounding this situation.
In essence, the release of "Endgame" alongside the Windsor Castle fire has generated a whirlwind of speculation and doubts regarding the book's content, its timing, and the individuals involved.
