Omid Scobie’s new book, Endgame, claims the ‘monarchy is unpopular’

Royal family fans are claiming Omid Scobie’s new book about the British monarchy is “littered with errors” and conspiracy theories about Princess Diana’s death.

Royal fans have ripped into Omid Scobie’s explosive new book ‘Endgame’, stating the 416 page non-fiction book is “littered with errors and conspiracy theories”.

The book which details the current state of the British monarchy also claims it is unpopular and revisits old conspiracy theories about Princess Diana’s death.

According to the UK Sun – who have labelled Scobie as “Harry and Meghan’s mouthpiece” – parts of the book leaked before its official release – are inaccurate.

These inconsistencies include the famous conspiracy theory which lingers around Princess Diana’s death. Scobie claims Princess Diana died in a car crash in Paris in 1997 when her driver became blinded by a “major white flash” from a chasing photographer’s camera.

That theory was shared by Mohamed Al-Fayed, who claims Diana and his son Dodi were murdered as part of Prince Philip’s Establishment plot.

But those suggestions were dismissed by the French police investigating her death, and their UK counterparts.

The British journalist also states in his new book, the Royal Household’s diversity drive is all but a PR stunt and Charles in fact did not try to fix his relationship with his son Harry “after Megxit”.

However, The Sun states both of these claims are untrue, giving examples of both then Prince Charles hiring Colleen Harris, whose family are from Guyana, as his press secretary in 1998 and British-Nigerian Eva Omaghomi as community engagement chief in 2021.

It also cites King Charles having extended an invite to Harry to his Coronation, which he added solo and left shortly after the church service.

Scobie depicts Charles as a “cheating husband who ruined Princess Diana’s life”. Yet both are said to have admitted to infidelity in their marriage, with Charles going on to marry Camilla.

Prince William also gets a mention as the book details how he has distanced himself from Harry following his wedding to Meghan.

Endgame is to be released tomorrow.
