About our Omid Scobie news
Latest news on Omid Scobie, a British journalist and author, renowned for his coverage of the British royal family. Born in Wales and raised in Oxford, he pursued journalism at the London College of Communication. Scobie's career began with a stint at a British celebrity magazine, followed by a decade at Us Weekly as the European bureau chief, where he focused significantly on royal reporting. He later became the royal editor-at-large for Harper's Bazaar and a contributor to ABC News, frequently appearing on Good Morning America and hosting the network's royal podcast, HeirPod.
Scobie co-authored "Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of A Modern Royal Family" in 2020 with American journalist Carolyn Durand. The book details the lives of Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, from their courtship through their marriage and eventual departure from the British royal family. It offers insights into their relationship, royal household, and personal lives, with contributions from the Duchess through a third-party source. The book quickly became a bestseller in the UK.
In November 2023, Scobie released "Endgame," a book that criticizes the British royal family both as an institution and individually. This work, like his previous one, drew on his extensive experience and connections within the royal circle. Despite his close coverage of the Sussexes, Scobie has maintained that he is not a personal friend of theirs but acknowledges that shared acquaintances and his journalistic persistence in building contacts within the royal circle have aided his reporting.
