Omid Scobie’s ‘Sussex Squad’: Royal biographer recruits influencers and bloggers to promote his new book Endgame

Omid Scobie has recruited ‘Sussex Squad’ influencers and bloggers to help promote his new explosive book.

The royal biographer asked them to sign a non-disclosure agreement ahead of the 400-page Endgame’s release tomorrow, according to The Telegraph. 

One of those recruited identifies herself as only Kaiser, the head writer for blog Celebitchy. 

She confirmed on her X page on Saturday she had signed a NDA to read Endgame, writing: ‘A few hours ago, I signed an NDA to read Omid Scobie’s Endgame and I won’t spoil anything, but all of you guys complaining about it before you’ve read it should hold your tongue – Scobie is MAULING the Windsors. Like, I’m laughing out loud, it’s soooo good.’

She added: ‘One of the big takeaways, for me, is how none of the left-behind Windsors can manage their way out of a paper bag. None of them are capable managers.’ 

Omid Scobie has reportedly recruited ‘Sussex Squad’ influencers and bloggers to promote his new explosive royal book Endgame

A series of revelations and claims are made in the the book about everyone from the Prince and Princess of Wales to King Charles

A day later after finishing the ‘well-written and well researched’ book she gave a ‘mini no-spoiler’ to her 13,000 followers.

‘Chapter 2 is one of the funniest royal-takedowns I’ve ever read; there are many pieces of new gossip, but mostly it’s a richly detailed narrative about how the institution is antiquated, cruel, ridiculous, etc,’ she wrote. 

Mr Scobie has been doing the media rounds ahead of the book’s release at midnight and appeared in an interview with ABC’s Good Morning America which was broadcast today. 

Omid Scobie’s new book Endgame about the Royal Family is set to be released tomorrow

In it, he claimed letters between King Charles and Meghan Markle revealed the identity of the two people who allegedly commented on Archie’s skin colour. 

He said: ‘I do know who made the comments about Archie’s skin colour. The names were mentioned in letters between Meghan and Charles that were exchanged some time after the Oprah interview.

‘We know from sources that Charles was horrified that that’s how Meghan felt. Those conversations were, and that he wanted to, sort of as a representative for the family, have that conversation with her.

‘And it is why I personally think they have been able to move forward with some kind of line of communication afterwards. Though they may not see eye to eye on it.’

He also spoke with Paris Match where he said he was not the Sussexes friend and ‘never will be’. 

Mr 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’. 

The book makes a series of claims about the royals and looks at its future following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September last year.

These include that William was involved in ‘things that have gone out about his own brother’ and that the elder brother ignored texts from Harry when the family were making their way to Balmoral before the late Queen died last year.

Among the other claims made in the book are that there is a rift between the King and the William, that Queen Camilla has ‘quietly thanked’ Piers Morgan for ‘defending the Firm’ and that a timid Princess of Wales has to be encouraged to perform engagements.

Mr Scobie added to ABC: ‘I think before people assume that I’m calling this the end of the Royal Family, I’m simply declaring that we’ve reached a sort of pinnacle moment where the royal family as we know it, is at stake.’

He also makes claims about Prince William leaking stories about Harry.

Mr Scobie said: ‘He’s sharing private information about his brother that ended up on the front page of a newspaper not long later. These are things that have cause irreparable damage in the relations between each other.’

Describing William as a ‘company man’, he said: ‘We have seen the emergence of a man who is much harder, who seems to have embraced and embodied the royal institution’.

Mr Scobie is expected to appear on ITV’s This Morning on Thursday.
