Omid Scobie has claimed the late royal liked Kate Middleton because she was “trainable” unlike the “strong” Princess Diana.
Harry and Meghan’s “cheerleader” took aim at the Princess of Wales in his new book “Endgame,” published in Australia.
In a chapter dedicated to the future queen, he says her workload is lighter than other senior royals and that she is “technically a part-time working royal.”
He claims she has “no plans to increase her workload in the next 10 to 15 years” or until her children reach adulthood, adding that she earned the nickname “Katie Keen” because of the palace’s press release she softened the idea of doing less by saying she was “Katie Keen.” willing to learn’.
In a clear dig at the royal, Scobie writes that Kate’s lifestyle is something most parents “could only dream of.”
“The late Queen also took time off throughout the year to recharge, but she was also known to attend at least three hundred appointments each year. Sources said Kate remains “laser-focused” on her duty to the family and then to the crown.
This is breaking news.

Scobie today claimed to have letters between King Charles III. and Meghan Markle reveal the names of two people who allegedly commented on Archie’s skin color.
The royal author, whose new book Endgame is published at midnight tonight, said he could not reveal the identities of the two people for fear of legal reprisals in the UK.
However, he said that letters were exchanged between Charles and Meghan following the allegation in the Sussexes’ bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.
In an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America” today, Mr. Scobie was asked if he knew who made the comments about Archie’s skin color.

“We know from sources that Charles was horrified that Meghan felt this way. These were conversations and he wanted to have this conversation with her, so to speak on behalf of the family.
“And that’s why I personally think, in hindsight, they were able to move forward with some sort of line of communication, even though they may not agree on that.”
Mr Scobie’s claims threaten to reignite the “royal racists” row that erupted after Harry and Meghan’s interview.
Meghan had claimed in the TV special that an unnamed member of the royal family had spoken about “how dark his (Archie’s) skin might be when he is born”.
However, it is now claimed that a second member of the extended royal household – who may not be a member of the royal family itself – has made similar comments.

The two people are not mentioned by name in “Endgame,” which is subtitled “Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival.”
The book makes a number of claims about the royals and looks at their future following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September last year.
And Mr Scobie added to the ABC: “I think before people assume that I’m calling this the end of the royal family, I’ll just explain that we’ve reached a sort of climax where the royal family as we know it, Is at stake.’
He also claims Prince William leaked stories about Harry.
Mr Scobie said: “He shared private information about his brother which not long later ended up on the front page of a newspaper. “These are things that have caused irreparable damage to their relationships.”
He described William as a “man of society” and said: “We have seen the emergence of a man much tougher, who seems to have embraced and embodied the royal institution.”
The ABC report also states that Harry is ready to end the rift between William, who has been trying to get in touch with his brother, and that relations with his father Charles “may be on the mend.”
Mr Scobie said: “There is a constantly open line of communication between the two of them where they can talk to each other. “Whereas Harry, I would say, clearly understands that his father is probably not the most emotional or open person.”
The report on ABC said that as part of his interview, Mr Scobie also claimed that he felt he was involved in family drama – and that Meghan had contacted him to check he was OK.
ABC claimed Mr Scobie also said he was not that close to Harry and Meghan and that he “never chose Team Sussex”.

Mr Scobie’s book is said to make a number of allegations involving the Sussexes – including that William was involved in “things that were circulating about his own brother” and that the older brother ignored text messages from Harry when the family broke up on the way to Balmoral before the late Queen died last year.
Claims in the book include that there is a rift between the king and William, that Queen Camilla has “quietly thanked Piers Morgan for defending the company” and that a shy Princess of Wales needs to be encouraged to make commitments enter into .
