In a surprising revelation, it has come to light that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, offered emotional support to royal author Omid Scobie despite the journalist’s insistence that they are not friends. The unexpected gesture occurred in 2018 when Scobie, then a journalist for Harper’s Bazaar, faced online bullying.
According to The Telegraph, Meghan reached out to Scobie on his mobile phone to inquire about his well-being after learning that he had been dealing with social media threats. This unexpected act of kindness underscores the Duchess’s compassionate nature, transcending any professional boundaries.
Meghan’s concern for Scobie’s welfare during a challenging time demonstrates the genuine connections that can form within the intricate web of royal circles. Despite any assertions of a formal friendship, her gesture speaks volumes about her empathy and willingness to stand against online bullying.
Facing persistent rumors and being labeled “Meghan’s mouthpiece,” Scobie took to social media, specifically Twitter (formerly X), to clarify the nature of his upcoming book, “Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival.” He emphasized that the book is about the current state of the British Royal Family and not specifically focused on Meghan and Prince Harry. Scobie asserted, “I am not ‘Meg’s pal,’ the Sussexes have nothing to do with it.”
With his book set for release, Scobie sought to dispel any misconceptions about his relationship with Meghan and Harry. He aims to redirect the narrative surrounding the book, emphasizing its broader focus on the challenges faced by the British Royal Family as a whole.
Author’s Public Statements:
In an interview with Paris Match, Scobie reiterated his stance, stating unequivocally, “I am not their friend and never have been.” These statements, made across various platforms, underscore the author’s commitment to separating his professional role from personal associations and debunking any myths surrounding his connection to the Sussexes.
Meghan Markle’s unexpected support for Omid Scobie in the face of online bullying provides a glimpse into the complexities of relationships within royal circles. As Scobie addresses misconceptions about his upcoming book, the public can anticipate a more nuanced understanding of the British Royal Family’s challenges when “Endgame” is released.
