King Charles Should Be ‘Very Worried’: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Could Have Fresh Fight After ‘Endgame’ Release
The Daily Mail reported the Sussexes repeatedly denied cooperating with Scobie and his co-author Carolyn Durand on Finding Freedom. Still, Meghan was later forced to admit in the High Court that she authorized an aide to brief the pair secretly.

- However, it is unknown whether or not Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had anything to do with the content featured in Endgame.
- Scobie’s take on racism claims by the royal family harken back to the couple’s Oprah Winfrey interview, where they said a senior royal wondered how dark their son Archie’s skin would be.
What does the release of ‘Endgame’ have to do with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?
Although Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not spoken publicly about their royal family exit in almost one year, that doesn’t mean others aren’t speaking for them. A royal commentator claims King Charles should be “very worried” about a fresh fight from his son and daughter-in-law after the release of the book Endgame, penned by their friend Omid Scobie.

Royal commentator Daniela Elser of News.com.au discussed Endgame‘s publication and how it could open up a Pandora’s Box for the royal family once again. The book’s author, Omid Scobie, promises a “penetrating investigation into the future of the royal family.”
Per publisher HarperCollins, the book aims to “pull back the curtain on an institution in turmoil—exposing the chaos, family dysfunction, distrust and draconian practices threatening its very future. However, this is the monarchy’s endgame. Do they have what it takes to save it?”
Elser wrote, “With Endgame looking likely to revive some of the most damaging allegations made about the royal family in modern history (looking at you unconscious bias) if not possibly raise some fresh, bruising claims of its own. The Palace preparing to do any necessary ‘rebutting,’ with the added cherry of this invited/not inhibited butting of heads, all indications point to stormy seas ahead.”
She continued, “The reason – a book – an object that has traditionally not figured highly in reasons that monarchs have mused about whether they should reopen a wing of the tower specifically for relatives.”
- .“However, the most potentially damaging one is clear – the chapter entitled “Race and the Royals: Institutional Bigotry and Denial.”
- Scobie’s take on racism claims by the royal family harken back to the couple’s Oprah Winfrey interview, where they said a senior royal wondered how dark their son Archie’s skin would be.
Elser continued, “It’s here where you need to imagine courtiers’ neatly rolling up starched sleeves and getting into the Rocky fighting stance. Reportedly, they will not be taking a fresh round of claims on this specific front in the politely supine position.”
“Rather, the Daily Mail has claimed that while ‘Palace aides have said they are unlikely to comment on the book’” however ‘any charges of racism will be ‘robustly rebutted,'” she wrote.
Elser concluded, “While ‘robustly rebutted’ might not exactly sound like a full-blow declaration of hostilities, there is a whiff of royal grapeshot here. It would be impossible to calculate how many stories I’ve written charting the downward spiral and tone of Charles and Harry’s relationship, but hold on tight; it sounds like it’s only getting worse.”

Omid Scobie, the journalist and author whose book Finding Freedom provided sensational insights into the collapse of the relationship between the royals and Harry and Meghan, has published some of the chapter headings his new book, Endgame, due to be published in late November.
Scobie said in June that his book would reveal “failures” and episodes the Royal family should be “ashamed of,” and a first glimpse of the chapter titles shows just how explosive this book could be.
Scobie said on Twitter that the book was at the printers and posted a photograph of the first page of the chapter list, showing nine headings. He later said there were 16 chapters in total.
The book opens with a chapter about the death of Queen Elizabeth, with a chapter entitled “The Queen and Her Piper: Elizabeth II’s Final Days.”
The second chapter is called, “Shaky Ground, the Queen is Dead, the Monarchy Faces Trouble,” while the third, titled: “’‘Oh God I Hate This,’ King Charles’s Premiere,” seems likely to focus on Charles’ uneven first few days as king perhaps including the famous moment he was filmed complaining about a leaking pen.
The following chapter is called, “Remembrance of Things Past: The Ongoing Campaign to Make the Royals Great Again,” followed by, “Baggage: the Lingering Trials of King Charles.” Scobie has previously criticized the lack of serious focus on corruption allegations against Charles, . .
Returning to a theme that has often preoccupied the writer, he then has a chapter called, “Race and the Royals: Institutional Bigotry and Denial.”
- “Gloves On: Prince William, Heir To The Throne,” while the ninth is titled:
- “Gloves Off: Prince Harry, Man on a Mission.”
