A moment to appreciate the complete chaos unfolding in Montecito. Word has it that our favorite former royal, who is constantly chasing the spotlight, is having quite the meltdown. Why? Because her most loyal defender has apparently decided to chase his own Hollywood dreams. That’s right—Omid Scobie, Meghan’s personal stenographer, is packing up and heading to Los Angeles. But here’s the kicker—he’s selling out faster than you can say “Finding Freedom.”
Universal TV has picked up a project that Scobie is calling “Emily in Paris meets The Crown.” Yes, you read that correctly. And the plot? It’s about an American press agent who leaves Washington, D.C., to work at Buckingham Palace. Sound familiar? That’s because it’s a thinly veiled version of Meghan’s story mixed with Scobie’s own fantasy narrative.
Here’s where it gets really interesting. Scobie is out on Twitter trying to convince everyone that this show has nothing to do with Meghan. Sure, Omid, we believe you. It’s clear he’s taking the story—their story—and turning it into his Hollywood meal ticket. Talk about biting the hand that fed you! Remember when Scobie used to defend Meghan and Harry at every turn? He’d write entire books portraying them as victims of the “evil institution.” Well, it looks like that loyalty only lasted as long as it was profitable. Now that he has his own Hollywood dreams, he’s conveniently stepping away from being their defender-in-chief.
It’s fascinating watching the Sussex Squad try to process this betrayal. Their trusted source, their go-to person for pro-Sussex propaganda, is now trying to distance himself from the very people he helped build his career defending. You really can’t make this stuff up. Meanwhile, over at Adelaide Cottage, William and Catherine are probably having a good laugh about all of this. They’ve always taken the high road, focused on their duties, and look where they are now—respected, admired, and drama-free. The contrast between the working royals quietly serving their country and this circus playing out in California couldn’t be starker.
Let’s talk about the timing of all this. It’s no coincidence that Scobie is making this move right when Meghan and Harry’s star seems to be fading in Hollywood. Netflix deals are being canceled, Spotify is showing them the door, and suddenly, their most loyal defender is jumping ship. The rats always know when it’s time to leave, don’t they?
And how do you think Meghan must be feeling right now? This is a woman known for cutting people loose when they’re no longer useful to her, and now she’s getting a taste of her own medicine. The irony here is just too perfect. Sources say she’s absolutely furious about this betrayal. Can you blame her? Her own personal publicity puppet is now using their connection to make his own Hollywood dreams come true.
What’s even more fascinating is the way Scobie is trying to play both sides. He’s out there claiming the show has nothing to do with Meghan while pitching it as a story about an American outsider working in the palace. Who does he think he’s fooling? And claiming he’s just a journalist covering the Duchess fairly? Please, let’s remember that this is the same guy who wrote not one, but two books that were practically love letters to the Sussexes—Finding Freedom and Revenge. These weren’t unbiased works; they were practically his way of being their spokesperson. Now, he’s trying to pretend he was just doing his job as an objective reporter.
What’s really telling is how he’s handling his DMs and communications now. I’ve seen messages where he’s trying to distance himself completely from any Sussex connection. It’s like watching someone try to erase their entire social media history. But, as we all know, the internet never forgets, Omid. And here’s the best part—he’s still out there taking shots at other royal commentators while pretending he’s above it all. You can’t have it both ways, Omid. Either you’re done with the royal beat or you’re not. This “I’m too important for this now that I have a Hollywood deal” attitude while still stirring the pot is peak hypocrisy.
The timing of all this couldn’t be more perfect, could it? Just as Meghan’s Hollywood dreams seem to be crumbling—Netflix deals falling through, Spotify showing them the door—her most loyal defender decides to chase his own Hollywood fantasy. Talk about jumping from a sinking ship.
What’s really interesting is the complete silence from the Sussex camp about all of this. Normally, we’d hear some kind of response by now—some carefully worded statement from sources close to the couple—but there’s nothing. And you know what they say: silence speaks volumes.
Meanwhile, the actual working royals are doing what they do best: serving the crown with dignity and grace. William and Catherine are out there showing what real royal work looks like, while this Hollywood drama plays out like a bad reality TV show.
What does this all show us? The difference between those who serve and those who seek to serve themselves. The working royals don’t need to create drama or sell their stories. Their work speaks for itself. But when your entire brand is built on controlling the narrative and manipulating the media, eventually, that same media might just turn around and manipulate you right back. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing now. The puppet master has become the puppet, and honestly, it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person.
