Royal Family News: Meghan’s Soul Mate (Not Harry) Defends Her Honor, Claims Palace Did Her Dirty

British royal family news reveals that today Netflix released a brand new shiny trailer for the ish show known as ‘Meghan & Harry.’ It is full of the usual “truth bombs” accompanied by gauzy lighting and gaudy music. At one point Harry croaks that the palace lied to protect William and left him out in the cold.

Pet reporter Omid Scobie immediately waded into the fray to defend his “soul mate” Meghan and her husband Harry (that’s not awkward). Scobie Doo likes big fancy titles, too, he is the Royal Executive Editor at Yahoo!, which is equivalent to head yahoo we suppose. Anyway he ferociously defends the indefensible by propping up the Hollywood hoboes. “There was a moment that took place before the Sussexes’ docuseries ‘Harry & Meghan’ went live that, while I sat watching the first three episodes, I couldn’t get out of my mind,” he starts off.

Royal Family News – Omid Scobie Scooby Doo

Scobie never saw a losing proposition he didn’t like thus he clacks: “what had consumed my thoughts was a response to the first trailer for the six-part series, where Prince Harry is heard talking about the culture of briefing and leaks within the Palace. “There’s a hierarchy of the family,” he says. “You know there’s leaking, but there’s also planting of stories. . . It’s a dirty game.”

According to Scobie, “it was the first time since Princess Diana’s Panorama interview that a member of the Royal Family had so openly lifted the lid on one of the most toxic practices going on behind palace walls.” And he knows this how?

He prattles on about the overprivileged, uber pampered brats: “the Sussexes felt a need to find a different path. A place to thrive, not survive, to borrow Meghan’s words. So when I saw a British tabloid article quoting a “royal source” (that’s usually code for someone at the palace who doesn’t want to go on the record) insisting that it was “absolutely wrong” to suggest the Sussexes had been briefed against, I had to reread the sentence a second time just to be sure I wasn’t hallucinating. It was gaslighting to the extreme.” Drama is one of things Omid and Scobie have in common.

He goes on to make a bold claim: “The reality is, people working at the Palace did brief against Harry and Meghan while they were working royals. Regularly. And it was hardly a secret, either. While writing the book Finding Freedom, a number of the staff I spoke to complained about the culture of leaking and negative briefings within the institution. Some felt it was out of jealousy of the couple’s unrivalled popularity at the time, others shrugged and said that’s just how it goes, and a couple believed that much of it came from a place of disliking Meghan.” It’s always about Meghan isn’t it? Well it is, until it’s about Scobie who unlike real reporters, hopelessly finds ways to insert himself into the story: “Over the years I have written many times about the darker uses of this tool, and how it affected the Sussexes. But it wasn’t until last year that my reporting saw the Palace hit back.” Cue the violins and the maudlin organ.

Scobie goes on a long rant, but basically he asserts that Kensington Palace “intervened” to force some show producers, “to remove my words. Aides for Prince William warned that it was ‘potentially defamatory.’”

Eventually the poor man suffered the indignity of being “muted” when talking about Harry’s mental health and he hasn’t forgotten it. Long memories—something else he and his soul mate have in common.

It’s clear that the man who fancies himself an executive level journo is willing to go to the point of no return for the Markles whose A-list friends have seemingly abandoned them.

Scobie’s last point is a dig at the royal family honorably headed up for 70 years by Queen Elizabeth: “For a family that pretty much owns the term “never complain, never explain”, it’s almost laughable that the majority of them—and the people they keep close to their sides—have yet to actually master it.” What is it about Meghan that incites such dunderheaded devotion at the cost of respectability?
