Omid Scobie: Meghan Markle’s Mouthpiece Strikes Again
Omid Scobie, the man who has essentially been Meghan Markle's spokesperson for years, is at it once more. According to Aisha Walsh, writing for *The Mirror*, Scobie has announced his next big project: another royal book. But this time, there’s a twist — it’s fiction.
After a string of works that read more like Meghan's personal diary than actual journalism, Scobie is suddenly branching out into storytelling. His first book, *Finding Freedom*, was widely considered less a journalistic endeavor and more Meghan Markle’s personal manifesto. Filled with carefully curated anecdotes, it served as a platform for Meghan to air her grievances — all neatly packaged by Scobie. While the book sparked media buzz, critics largely panned it for its overt bias and lack of credible sourcing.
But that didn’t deter Scobie. Next came *Endgame*, which garnered attention for its controversial claims about a supposed royal racist. Despite the drama, it failed to set any sales records.
Now, Scobie is attempting a new angle. But even as he tries to distance himself from Meghan, he remains tethered to her narrative. He’s become like that person who can’t help but cling to the most divisive figure in the room. His one trick? Writing about Meghan Markle and the royals.
The media has caught on to his shtick. In the wider celebrity world, Scobie seems to be persona non grata. Yet he continues to churn out material that echoes Meghan’s perspective, ensuring her narrative stays front and center.
According to *The Mirror*, Scobie’s latest project, *Royal Spin*, is a fictional tale. It follows a young American woman who leaves her job at the White House to work for Buckingham Palace. The book is described as a “fun, fish-out-of-water romantic workplace comedy.”
While Scobie might claim this marks an exciting new direction in his career, it’s hard not to see it as another vehicle for Meghan’s narrative. Sure, it’s technically fiction, but let’s not kid ourselves — the underlying themes will likely echo the same grievances Meghan has aired time and time again. This new work may provide her with a cloak of plausible deniability, but the message will probably feel all too familiar.
On social media platform X, Scobie was quick to clap back at the speculation. “Just because it’s a catchy headline doesn’t mean it’s true,” he wrote. “Let me set the record straight: *Royal Spin* has nothing to do with Meghan. As a journalist, I covered the Duchess fairly and honestly. It’s so tedious to keep calling her my friend, which isn’t true, or to tie her to my work.”
The audacity of this denial is almost laughable. While Scobie insists his rom-com isn’t inspired by Meghan, his track record suggests otherwise. From *Finding Freedom* to *Endgame*, his work has consistently championed Meghan’s perspective.
And as for his claims that Meghan was never a friend? It’s clear that Scobie was more of a loyal foot soldier — someone she kept close when convenient, only to discard when his usefulness ran out.
In the end, Scobie’s latest project seems to be more of the same: another attempt to keep Meghan’s story alive while feigning independence. It’s a tired routine, and at this point, it’s hard not to roll your eyes.
