Harry and Meghan's pal to release new tell-all book about monarchy's 'fight for survival'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's biographer pal is set to release a new bombshell book about the "future of the Royal Family".

Omid Scobie, author of 'Finding Freedom' claims his new book 'Endgame: Inside The Royal Family and The Monarchy's Fight For Survival' which is scheduled to come out on November 21, 2023 will be a "penetrating investigation".

A description of the book on its official website claims Mr Scobie exposes "chaos, family dysfunction, distrust and draconian practices" within the family as he "pulls back the curtain" on some of their secrets.

The description reads: "On September 8, 2022, the world stood still as news broke of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing, the Express reports.

"Her death dismantled the protective shield around the world’s most famous family and saw a long-simmering crisis of confidence in the British monarchy begin to resurface.

"Now, with unique insight, deep access and exclusive revelations, journalist Omid Scobie pulls back the curtain on an institution in turmoil—exposing the chaos, family dysfunction, distrust and draconian practices threatening its very future. This is the monarchy’s endgame. Do they have what it takes to save it?"

Scobie, 40, announced on Twitter the book is available to pre-order and received a lot of excited responses from social media users congratulating him on his new work.

One person wrote: "@MeghansMole more drifting incoming" while another user replied: "Let me go order now! Congratulations!"

Another quipped: "'a penetrating investigation into the future' are you the new Nostradamus or what?"

The book release will come almost a year after Prince Harry's bombshell memoir Spare came out.

At the time of the book's release, Mr Scobie claimed the end game of the Windsors was "playing out in front of us".

Talking to the podcast Common Sense, he said: "They [the Royal Family] are regularly presented with opportunities to reflect, to take accountability to speak.

"We are at a time where we expect far more transparency from our public figures than ever.

"So this institution shrouded in mystery and still desperately trying to keep the smoke and mirrors up doesn’t quite fit into where we are at as a society."

He claimed that the main existential issues that the Windsor's still allegedly face are related to its accusations of misogyny, racism and unconscious bias.

He added there were "bigger issues with the institution's entrenchment with the British media, that toxic relationship that has actually made the lives of other family members a living hell".

In the royal biographer's previous book which was released in 2020 he used the King of Netherlands as an example of a Royal Family who embraced positive change, noting the independent study he commissioned to look into the Dutch royal family's role in slave labour and the history of colonialism within the country.

However, since the book's release, The Royal Family have publicly signalled support for research to be carried out into the monarchy's ties to slavery.
