Omid Scobi no longer smells of sanctity at Buckingham. Guilt about her being close to Meghan and Harry, but especially the recent work End of the reignpublished on November 28. It’s not just the palace that gets upset over the British journalist’s name. In London, as well as in New York, the press is unanimous. this new “400 pages” has the air of a praise fable about the crown’s ugly ducklings. And so he attacks the other members of Windsor. In it, Scobie portrays the unpopular King Charles III, the reclusive Queen Camilla, the power-hungry Prince William and the murderous Kate Middleton. As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of Montecito, California aspire to be model parents.

“Ridiculously Biased”

Amazingly, this lack of nuance led to an onslaught from British newspapers. Across the channel, as one might expect, the conservative press has not been kind. The Telegraph condemns “Sussex propaganda” and describes Omid Scobie as “ridiculously biased, lacking in insight and strangely homophobic”. “What shines through the nearly 400 pages of the work is the deep sense of resentment that Omid Skobi feels at the idea of ​​being left out. [de la famille royale]- writes journalist Anita Singh at the beginning of the criticism.

on the side ofEvening Standard, the pill also passes with difficulty. The London daily estimates that End of the reign it is a “real failure” and “an embarrassment to Harry and Meghan”. “This only reveals that poor Omid Scobi has really bad writing skills,” read the newspaper columns. THE: Times In this new work he sees “a drum of old history”, while the BBC condemns the journalist’s “brutally accusatory tone”.Harper’s Bazaar who are said to be so close to Meghan and Harry. “It’s more of an eggshell than a bomb. (…) The title (Endgame, in its original version, editor’s note) is about a game of chess, but it’s a very one-sided match, with lots of offense and little defence,’ jokes the BBC’s Royal Correspondent Sean Coughlan. Before finishing his work.End of the reign causes an institution in great distress. But it’s not this book that will make him sink.”

“Press release”

In the left arm of the press, the sound of the bell is more or less the same. The Independent Omid describes Scobie’s remarks as “unrelenting sympathy for the Sussexes”. It is clear to reviewer Anna Pasternak that Scobie “fully expects that he and his book will be discredited in the British media”. “He is probably right,” writes the British. And it certainly won’t be helped by the fact that it paints Meghan and Harry in a light of relentless sanctimoniousness.”

Criticisms on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean are no less severe. THE: New York Times, which is usually more sympathetic to Meghan and Harry than the English dailies, angered the opus. The American daily claims in a brief review that a chapter on the Sussexes “read like a press release produced by ChatGPT”. He also notes that End of the reign “Isn’t that different from what Harry represented? The substitute” and that he is only devoted to “correcting the fact of pettiness against the Sussexes”. THE “NYT:” he adds. “Gossip-loving readers will be disappointed.”
