Meghan Markle personally rang Omid Scobie after learning he had been sent threats on social media, new book reveals – as Sussexes ‘cheerleader in chief’ insists he is ‘not their friend, and never have been’
- Duchess of Sussex called royal biographer on her mobile to check on his welfare
Meghan Markle phoned Omid Scobie after learning he had been sent threats on social media, the author’s new book reveals.
But the Sussexes’ ‘cheerleader-in-chief’ insists he is ‘not their friend, and never have been’ ahead of the release of his explosive new book Endgame.
Meghan called Scobie in 2018 on her mobile phone to check on his welfare when she was told by a member of her team he had been harassed on social media, reports The Telegraph.
The royal writer insisted in recent weeks ahead of the November 28 release of Endgame he is not ‘Meg’s pal’. He wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: ‘And let’s get this nonsense out the way – #ENDGAME is about the current state of the British Royal Family.
‘It’s not “Harry and Meghan’s book”, I’m not “Meg’s pal”, the Sussexes have nothing to do with it, their story is a small part of a much bigger one you can read in 12 days.’

Sussex insiders have recently indicated to MailOnline Harry and Meghan had nothing to do with Scobie’s latest release amid a series of extracts being released from the book which casts cruel jibes at almost every member of the Royals.
Omid Scobie’s claims from his new book, Endgame
- William ignored Harry when he asked how he was planning to get to Scotland;
- Eventually, he booked a £30,000 charter flight to Aberdeenshire from Luton;
- Charles told him to come without Meghan. Source claims she ‘wasn’t wanted’;
- Harry had ‘no idea’ about what was going on in Balmoral when his plane took off;
- But ‘sources’ briefed newspapers that Charles had personally informed son;
- William believes Harry has been ‘brainwashed by an army of therapists’.
Scobie admits in Endgame it ‘will burn my bridges for good’ as he vows to ‘tell the full story’ having ‘in the past I, like others, have held back on revealing some of the darker truths at the heart of the institution of the British monarchy’.
Today, King Charles was branded a ‘pampered’ royal by Scobie in an extract leaked to The Sun.
He alleges His Majesty has his shoelaces ironed for him and insists on travelling with luxurious perfectly steamed 1,000-thread-count bed linen.
In another snide attack Scobie says Charles likes to have someone squeeze one inch of toothpaste onto his toothbrush for him as part as his bedtime routine.
An extract from the 42-year-old’s new book Endgame published in The Sun reads: ‘When laces get even the smallest bit threadbare, a staff member must quickly switch them out with a fresh, ironed pair.
‘There is even a rumour (one that, surprisingly, sources have confirmed) that Charles likes to have someone squeeze exactly one inch of toothpaste on to his toothbrush for him ahead of his bedtime routine.’
Excerpts of Scobie’s book have been shared with People in the US, including claims that Harry ‘remained in the dark’ about the Queen’s health in her final moments.
It also alleges that it was Meghan who urged Harry to answer his phone when Charles called him on an ‘unknown number’ to reveal that the Queen was close to death, before also asking that Meghan should stay away from Balmoral.

In an excerpt of his latest book, Endgame, he also alleges that that Prince Harry was ‘kept in the dark’ about the Queen’s health in the hours before she died
Mr Scobie claims that Prince William feels that he has ‘lost Harry and doesn’t want to know this version of him’
Royal courtiers are said to be furious over the claims made by Harry and Meghan’s biographer Scobie, who alleges that the Prince of Wales ignored the Duke of Sussex ‘s calls as he raced to be at the bedside of the Queen (pictured) in Scotland in September last year
Scobie writes: ‘Charles had cited ‘protocol,’ but the reality was that Kate chose to stay back to pick up the children from their first day at a new school. ‘They just didn’t want Meghan there,’ said a former Palace aide. Meghan, a friend added, ‘could sense she wasn’t wanted’.’
The book also claims Prince William ignored Harry’s texts, forcing him to charter his own plane. ‘William clearly didn’t want to see his brother’, Endgame says.
Scobie’s decision to piggyback the release of his new book on the King’s 75th birthday and the sixth and final series of The Crown was branded ‘deplorable’ today.
Royal journalist and author Phil Dampier previously told MailOnline: ‘We all know that Scobie is their mouthpiece and he gets his information directly or indirectly from the Sussexes, so anything which is hurtful to Charles, Camilla or William and Kate, will just make things much worse.
‘Let’s put it this way – I can’t see Harry and Meghan coming over for a family Christmas.’
He added: ‘The King has always left the door open for his son and will continue to do so. But in reality if there are more serious allegations in Scobie’s book it will set back any chance of a reconciliation’.
