According to Royal reporter Neil Sean, there are concerns within WME (William Morris Endeavor) about Meghan Markle’s potential involvement with Omid Scobie’s book.
While Meghan has denied any connection, a source claims that parts of Scobie’s book align word for word with what Meghan shared with a friend.
In 2021, Meghan accused an unnamed member of the Royal Family of making racist comments about Archie’s complexion.
However, Dutch copies of Scobie’s book have pointed fingers at King Charles and Catherine, Princess of Wales.
Critics are now urging the Sussexes to address this resurfaced scandal.
American royal expert Kinsey Schofield expressed her thoughts on the matter during an interview on GB News, stating, “I’d say that they had plenty of time to end the drama surrounding Scobie’s book.”
While the Sussexes have not directly responded to Scobie’s claims, critics wonder if their silence has further damaged their already struggling brand.
Schofield added, “There’s no way that they’re looking around thinking that things are going in the right direction or that things are going their way.
They’re being humbled right now.”
The ongoing controversy surrounding the Sussexes has sparked various reactions from the public.
Some individuals are calling for Harry and Meghan to leave the royal family altogether, while others argue against the perceived negativity towards them.
Meghan herself has faced setbacks with her own literary aspirations, as her memoirs were allegedly rejected multiple times.
Concerned about potential backlash, she has reportedly suggested creating a picture book showcasing her life as a working royal.
Since the release of Prince Harry’s tell-all memoir in January, speculations have been rife about whether Meghan will follow suit and write her own autobiography.
Royal expert Tom Bower claims that Meghan is indeed working on her autobiography, causing frustration among certain members of the royal family.
Prince William is said to be particularly concerned about the possibility of Meghan revealing more secrets about the family in her book.
However, due to the strained relationship between the brothers, William is unable to reach out to Harry without the risk of their conversations being made public.
PR expert Edward Coram James from GoUp believes that Meghan’s potential memoir will not achieve the same level of success as Harry’s.
He points out that Harry’s book sold exceptionally well, largely due to the anticipation of explosive revelations.
If marketed solely as a celebrity autobiography without the promise of scandalous claims, the sales would likely have been more in line with other autobiographies, which typically have lower numbers.
Coram James also notes that Harry’s memoir did not live up to the hype surrounding it, suggesting that Meghan’s book may face similar challenges.
He explains that since most of the allegations have already been made public, people may be less inclined to believe that anything truly explosive will be revealed in Meghan’s memoir.
The marketing strategy for Harry’s book, which promised groundbreaking allegations about the royal family, generated significant interest.
However, the actual revelations fell short of expectations.
For example, Harry accusing William of pushing him during a brotherly argument, while not ideal for the royal family, did not have the power to undermine the institution.
Considering the lack of new and scandalous claims expected in Meghan’s memoir, Coram James predicts that her book will align more closely with standard autobiographies, which typically have lower readership.
With most of the allegations already known, Meghan’s memoir may not generate the same level of interest as Harry’s did.
In conclusion, the alleged connection between Meghan Markle and Omid Scobie’s book has raised concerns within WME.
The Sussexes’ silence on the matter has led critics to question the impact on their reputation.
