It seems unlikely, but Meghan Markle and her close friend, author Omid Scobie, have something in common – forgetfulness.
As we previously reported, Meghan Markle forgot in court that she had assisted Scobie with his previous book.
Now, it appears that Scobie himself is facing a similar predicament.
After a week of ridicule and humiliation, he has finally confessed.
However, the true story behind this confession is even more intriguing than anything he could write in his alleged tell-all book.
Let’s delve into the details.
Good morning, Neil Shawn here.
I hope you’re staying safe and warm amid the bad weather in the United Kingdom.
Thank you for joining me.
This debacle continues to unfold.
Just over a week ago, Scobie appeared on the BBC program Newsnight and vehemently denied any knowledge of how certain names, dubbed the “royal racist,” made it into the published work.
He claimed innocence and blamed the translators in the Netherlands.
But there are two important points to consider.
Firstly, if Scobie were truly involved in such a scheme, he wouldn’t have left any written evidence.
Legally, it would be nearly impossible to prove without signed affidavits or disclosures.
There is nothing of that nature attached to his book.
Secondly, why has he suddenly decided to confess?
The answer lies in legal matters.
The authorities in the Netherlands obtained a transcript that implicated Scobie.
Whether he willingly provided it or not, it came from his pen.
This is a serious allegation that is far from being resolved.
Interestingly, like Meghan Markle, Scobie has failed to offer a genuine apology to the senior members of the British monarchy.
It seems that apologizing is another task he cannot accomplish.
Nonetheless, his confession, though rather roundabout, will not salvage the plummeting sales of his book.
It may also mark the end of his reputation as a serious author.
On the other hand, the royal family can find some vindication in this situation.
However, stories like this tend to stick, and Scobie must be wondering how he ever thought he could get away with it.
This is a developing story, and there is more to come.
As soon as I have further updates, you will be the first to know.
Stay tuned for more from Neil Shawn in the heart of London.
