Omid Scobie 'Happy to Burn Bridges' with Royal Family in Meghan Markle-like Move, Pursues 'Storytelling' Career in LA The passage you provided discusses Omid Scobie's decision to release his book "Endgame" and his subsequent move to Los Angeles. Scobie, who has links to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, expressed his willingness to "burn bridges" and be "blacklisted" from Buckingham Palace in order to release his book. 

The book made controversial claims about the royal family, including allegations about concerns regarding the skin color of Prince Archie and an ongoing rift between Prince Harry and King Charles. Some have compared Scobie's move to Meghan Markle's, suggesting that he is seeking fame and fortune in Los Angeles, following the "Meghan Markle handbook" of leaving the UK. 

However, Scobie has denied being a "mouthpiece" or "cheerleader" for the Sussexes and stated that his passion has always been in storytelling, whether through writing, podcasts, TV, or documentaries.

Despite the controversy surrounding the book, it experienced low sales in the UK, with only 6,448 copies sold in its first week. Scobie is now exploring other mediums for storytelling in Los Angeles.
