Royal revelations: Omid Scobie book ‘Endgame’ details pathetic Royal Family soap opera

This year has been a tumultuous one for the British royal family, with the release of Prince Harry’s memoir "Spare" to kickstart 2023. Now, as if to (literally) bookend the year, a controversial book about comes out today (Tuesday 28 November) and it is already proving controversial.

The book "Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival", by journalist Omid Scobie, takes a deep dive into the institution and its future, and "pull(s) back the curtain on an institution in turmoil".

Even if a lot of the turmoil is already known, leaked or streamed.

"Endgame" criticises King Charles III and his son, William, who is described as a "power-hungry heir to the throne", and depicts the king as head of an institution "plagued by incidents involving antiquated ideas around race, class and money", with younger people increasingly unsympathetic to the monarchy.

The main revelations depict a rather pathetic soap opera, in which William is painted as an ambitious prince, determined to lead the royal family into the future, with Scobie claiming that he wants to “rip up” the rulebook and do things “the Cambridge way”.

The “Cambridge way” does not clarify whether he would have his shoelaces ironed like this father, as the book shares.

Despite not agreeing about how The Firm should be run, Scobie writes that William and Charles are united in their frustration towards Prince Harry – or “that fool” according to the king. The British journalist also believes the relationship between William and Harry is unlikely to be mended. He claims William believes Harry blindsided the family with their public complaints and that William is convinced his younger brother is being brainwashed by an “army of therapists”.
