However, questions arise about why Princess Eugenie would seek updates on the Queen's health from Prince Harry, given his limited communication with the Queen during her final moments and his decision to live outside the UK to maintain a professional distance from the royal family. Additionally, it is claimed that Prince Harry was not personally informed by the family of the Queen's passing and received a phone alert instead. This complicates the reasons behind Princess Eugenie's request to Harry for health updates. A close acquaintance of Princess Eugenie expressed displeasure at being coerced into reading Scobie's book.
Scobie, who recently gained prominence as a royal correspondent, has been criticized for lacking credible royal sources and being seen as Meghan Markle's mouthpiece. Critics argue that the book may present a skewed account of events, emphasizing victimhood narratives and portraying Harry and Meghan favorably while portraying senior working members of the royal family unfavorably. Some have speculated that Meghan contacted Omid Scobie following Prince William and Prince Charles's visit to the Queen on her deathbed, raising questions about whether the book is revising history to depict Harry and Meghan as victims of a vengeful family or if it is promoting a particular narrative using the Queen's demise and funeral.
