This revelation raises questions about the nature of Meghan and Scobie's relationship. If they are not friends, why do they have each other's phone numbers? A source from Blind Item suggests that Meghan's concern for Scobie went beyond casual acquaintance, fueling speculation that she provided him with information for his books "Finding Freedom" and "Endgame." The source also claims that Caroline Durand served as a ghostwriter for "Finding Freedom," brought on for her professional expertise while Scobie relied on his access to Meghan. They suggest that this time, Meghan herself could be the ghostwriter for "Endgame."
There's also a mention of Durand distancing herself from "Finding Freedom," akin to how Meghan distanced herself from the book "Spare." According to the source, Durand chose not to assist Meghan and Scobie again. Her assistant reportedly emailed Scobie but denies having been interviewed for the book, leading to further skepticism about the authenticity of Scobie's sources. Critics argue that no one close to Catherine or other royal family members would entertain Scobie, labeling him as overly reliant on Meghan for information.
Scobie's social media activity has come under scrutiny, with his decision to turn off commenting on his posts viewed as an avoidance of criticism. This action has led to a spike in critical tweets about him, totaling over 11,000. The source describes him as unable to handle opposing views maturely, predicting a difficult time ahead upon the book's release.
In a separate development, Prince William reportedly made several attempts to have Scobie barred from royal events, finally succeeding about six months ago. This move reflects a growing patience within the royal circles to distance themselves from Scobie's narrative and reporting.
