Scobie: Princess Kate ‘spent more time talking about Meghan… than with Meghan’

Paris Match also got some exclusive excerpts or exclusive highlights from Omid Scobie’s Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival. These are the “sanctioned” excerpts, translated (poorly) by the British media. Scobie has barely promoted Endgame in the UK – he doesn’t need to – the British press will give the book millions of dollars worth of free media. In any case, the Paris Match excerpts are pretty interesting and they’re pissing off the royalist media. Scobie even says, flat out, that the Duchess of Sussex never wants to return to the UK and she thinks the Windsors are a bunch of soap opera psychos. She’s right! Some highlights, via the Daily Mirror:

Meghan never wants to step foot in England again: No other visits by Meghan have been forthcoming and according to the serialisation, she “never wants to set foot again in England” as she “never felt at home”.But despite Meghan’s dislike of England and the fact that she does not want to return, as per Omid Scobie’s new book, the Sussexes are said to be keeping King Charles “up to date with their family life by sending him photos of the children”, with their bond not completely shattered.

Why Meghan didn’t go to the coronation: The day of the Coronation coincided with the fourth birthday of Harry and Meghan’s son Prince Archie and the Duchess of Sussex was said to want to stay behind in California with her oldest child on his birthday. However, the book claims there was another reason why Meghan was not at the crowning of King Charles following family drama by saying she refused to “dive back into the soap opera of the court”.

Kate is obsessed with Meghan: According to the serialisation in French magazine Paris Match, a close friend of the couple says: “She [Kate] spent more time talking about Meghan… than with Meghan.” The source adds that the two women have no longer communicated directly since the end of 2019 but says: “Every time she hears about Meghan, Kate shudders and giggles.”

The eviction from Frogmore Cottage: Now Harry and Meghan no longer have a UK home and have to rely on hotels or friends if they visit. But the new serialisation claims that Harry begged to be allowed use of Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor estate when he and Meghan visit the UK. It says Harry allegedly asked his father upon learning of the eviction: “You don’t want to see your grandchildren anymore?”

Charles didn’t want to meet Harry late last year? Another bombshell claim about the King is that he did not respond to a desperate ‘meeting request’ from Harry, and instead ordered “an assistant to get rid of him with the excuse that he was overworked”. The plea from Harry came when communications had already become strained, with father and son having reportedly barely exchanged two words over the phone the Christmas before. Three weeks after the meeting request was turned down Harry published his controversial autobiography Spare, reportedly leaving his father in a state of shock.

Gift exchange: In one more heartwarming snippet from the book, it is claimed that despite their ongoing feud, William and Kate and Harry and Meghan still exchanged Christmas gifts for their children. It is said that Harry and Meghan sent presents for the festive season to their niece and nephews, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. However, according to the serialisation, despite the present exchange between them, there was no other communication for the holidays, not even a text message at Christmas.

Galvanized Peg: Omid writes that William now considers his estranged brother an “outsider” after being left “disappointed by Harry’s life choices and galvanised by his newfound passion for the Crown”.

Harry was never waiting for an apology from his family: Harry has now moved on and said: “”I’m ready to forget. Get an apology or explanation? At this point, who cares, right?”

[From The Daily Mirror]

All of this has been translated and filtered through the Mirror’s machinery, and having read Endgame (I can’t talk about it yet!), I know that much of the “Harry was desperate” stuff has been editorialized by the Mirror or Paris Match, not Scobie. I like the part when Harry apparently asked his father, “You don’t want to see your grandchildren anymore?” Because that’s exactly the heart of it. The Frogmore eviction was done as a shortsighted punishment directed to Harry alone, but the effect is that Charles is a dogshit grandfather who evicted his grandchildren from the home Harry and Meghan paid to renovate and lease. As for Kate, she “shudders and giggles” whenever Meghan is mentioned, and she’s the one doing the mentioning. We knew that though – Kate has been obsessed with Meghan for years, obsessed with copying her, obsessed with trying to compete with everything Meghan has done. I hope Meghan stays far, far away from those rotten people.

  1. Meg is in Cants head 24/7 this we know. She copies everything she can of Meg. I truly believe that Meg won’t step foot in England again and who can blame her after all the 💩 the cult has put her through. As for the sending of presents I will wait for the book and not the poorly translated French version.

  2. Rapunzel says:

    Kaiser. without spoilers, can you say if Scobie has more tea on Kate and Meg than this? I’m hoping for more.

    • Sam says:

      Yes pleeeease @kaiser!!
      It just wouldn’t be fair if Kate’s incomprehensible obsession with Meghan didn’t come to light..

      • Karen says:

        Not incomprehensible really. Kate has nothing, no talent, no personality or sex appeal. Meghan is gorgeous. Mumbles looks like a plain cardboard cutout beside her.

      • Sam says:

        Yes you’re totally right @karen!!
        I mean disturbed. English is not my native language and sometimes there are too many meanings for one word and I get confused.. 🙈

    • NotSoSocialB says:

      I think we are just going to have to read it!

  3. Jemima J says:

    Thank you Kaiser. I thoroughly enjoy reading the articles each and every day and listening to your podcast on YouTube Saturday mornings.

  4. Beverley says:

    Kkkhate is so haggard looking. Yikes! Part of her obsession with Meghan is that Black Don’t Crack, even though Meghan is the older woman. Kkkhate hates that this biracial Black American is more gorgeous, more accomplished, more chic and more polished than Kkkhate will ever be. AND Kkkhate‘s fantasy prince adores Meghan. For Kkkhate, Harry loving this woman makes no sense and breaks her heart.

    We’ve all seem her around Black people, she behaves with extreme discomfort and contempt. It’s difficult for her to grasp the fact that Meghan is better than she is in EVERY WAY. To this English Rose who never puts a foot wrong (snickers), it’s all terribly unfair.

    • Deering24 says:

      ITA. Kate is the ultimate Karen–and those women spend their lives reeling over the fact that African-American women can have brains, forget being brilliant and accomplished. And the fact Meghan got Harry would be burning Kate even if she wasn’t nuts about him herself.

  5. aquarius64 says:

    Kate really looks pathetic here. Scobie is saying that many people have thought.

    • Smart&Messy says:

      Kate already looked pathetic in the few instances Spare discussed her. This just digs the same pit deeper. Shudders and giggles? How old is she, 9?

      • Christine says:

        She’s always looked pathetic, in anything she does. See: Pie chart with zero new information, while she’s taking “notes”.

  6. Emily says:

    of course it’s clear Charles has no interest in seeing his mixed race grandchildren…only the white ones. that’s why he’s totally fine evicting them from Frogmore. I also think this was William’s push too. When William becomes king…I am sure he will do the upmost to punish and alienate Harry and his family. Archie and Lili will never be part of the Monarchy, they will just have their titles in name only. honestly, probably for the best. but even being attached to that toxic institution is a black mark tbh.

    • Amy Bee says:

      Lili and Archie would have been scapegoats for the Wales children so Harry did the right thing in moving his family away from the Royal Family.

      • Truthiness says:

        Amy, that’s such a good point. The rota would use Archie and Lili for articles that put Will’s kids on higher and higher pedestals. They’d attack the kids as an extension of Harry and Meghan.

      • VADER says:

        100% agree. Even if H&M were miserable in California (which isn’t the case at all), leaving shudder Island was the best decision they ever made because Harry truly ended the trauma cycle. His kids would 💯 be used as cover for willy’s kids if he stayed. Just like how Harry was repeatedly thrown under the bus to hide his family’s screwups.

    • Robert Phillips says:

      Will William ever wear the crown. With all the economic turmoil in England right now. The public is growing more and more angry at having to keep this scamming family up. And I don’t care how often they always say the family owns all the different things. When it happens the public is going to take back a lot of what they consider to be the Windsors.

    • EllenOlenska says:

      I’m not all that sure that he’s very interested in Charlotte or Louis either. He’s definitely not winning any objective “ Grandfather of the year “ awards. But yes, Archie and Lili would have absolutely been the scapegoats…

  7. Em says:

    We all know meghan lives rent free in waity’s head.

  8. Amy Bee says:

    It’s no surprise at all that Kate is obsessed with Meghan. But what I don’t understand is Charles being shocked that Harry’s book was published. Did he actually believe that the book was never going to be published? If he did he really livess in a bubble.

    • Dee(2) says:

      I absolutely can believe that. This is a family that has operated for centuries expecting everyone to give up any dreams, aspirations, and personal wants if they don’t mesh with what the heir needs by means of emotional manipulation and financial control. Even after everything that had happened, I’m pretty sure Charles still thought/thinks that all decisions that Harry makes are filtered through how will this affect the monarchy and more importantly how will this affect me (Charles) because he can’t fathom his approval not being the most important deciding factor in any decision that’s made by people in that family.

      • Smart&Messy says:

        I’m shocked that Charles does not only breefs the media, but believes what’s written about his family. Like the rumors that Spare won’t be published. Lately there’s been more and more stories coming out about the remaining bond between KC and H and M. That’s probably because somebody finally explained to him that his son actually thinks about him fondly.

      • ArtHistorian says:

        We are talking about a man that has never ever lived in the real world! He’s surrounded by sycophants why blow smoke up his ass and who are in a perfect position to manipulate him since they filter everything for him (even what his own family says). And he is too inexperienced at real life to see this.

        I remember an old (anti-monarchist) article calling Charles the most delusional man in the UK – because lickspittles have convinced him that he is a clever intellectual whose ideas merit the attention of the real power players. He’ll never be able to shed his delusions because he lives in a bubble and because he’s never experienced anything else. That article concluded that Charles’ abilities and skills are limited – only that he doesn’t realize this because people have been gassing him up his entire life. He isn’t qualified for his position and that in the world outside the Palace he would perhaps be best qualified for a gardener’s position.

      • Fleury says:

        @ARTHISTORIAN agreed but also to be a gardener you need skills, a thing the Charles doesn’t have.

    • sevenblue says:

      @Amy Bee, Tabloids were reporting at the time that Harry won’t be publishing the book. Like Harry said, they are all reading tabloids and believing everything they read.

    • Deering24 says:

      Heck, Charles and the BM still think Harry is ever coming back.

  9. Harper says:

    Shuddering and laughing whenever Meghan’s name is mentioned is so juvenile and just proves to me that Kate is trapped at the emotional level of a jealous teenager.

    • Chaine says:

      Right? Like she is in junior high. Can’t articulate her emotions and doesn’t understand them, so she “shudders and giggles.” A person with zero insight into herself and no desire to have any.

    • Jais says:

      She was offended bc Meghan said she had baby brain when she knew she at least had a teenage brain.

    • Lucy says:

      I thought that was a really strange reaction to have, I’m failing to picture anyone i know doing something like that. I do like hearing someone in her circle recognizing that she’s spent more time talking about Meghan than she ever did to her. Considering they’ve probably had maybe a hundred conversations, the many years of obsessing is becoming more and more obvious.

      • Em says:

        She has no female friends thats why she was so angry because her Brain couldn’t comprehend that its perfectly normal post Partum, no one talks to her about these things, for all the talk of her maternal/ baby work

  10. Lurker25 says:

    The shock of having your suspicions confirmed – it’s going to be like reading Spare all over again, filling in all the gaps of things Harry didn’t see.

    Hilary Mantel predicted that the monarchy wouldn’t survive two generations. Meaning, I think, the George would never be king.

    It’s really starting to seem extremely likely, isn’t it?

    Charles and his horse trashed the RF with cheating, tampons, gaslighting Diana, gaslighting H&M, list goes on. The RF has no moral standing (and the king is the*head of the church*!!) or specialness any more.

    But Charles’ sink-breaking, valet-strangling, pedo-palling, cash-bag-grabbing ways were still hushed up and buried.

    What happens when Willy loses his temper on someone who goes public with it? What happens when he’s King and is caught on camera, physically attacking someone? How much more hushing up can be done?

    • Andy Dufresne says:

      Behind closed doors, I think William is a legit narcissist and psychopath. Bits and pieces of stories about his anger come out but it gets muzzled right away.

      William may actually be worse as a king than Charles. England, better watch out.

  11. Angie says:

    Kant an adult mean girl. Never grew up and got over her teen age years. This is what happens when mummy takes care of everything.

  12. Lau says:

    Paris Match is royalist crap. They love to cover everything Monaco related and they also treat our President and groomer First Lady as royalty. I have no doubt that they have changed some words, they’re so embarrassing.

    • Saucy&Sassy says:

      Lau, I beg your pardon. “Groomer” First Lady? Would you like to expound?

      • Lux says:

        She’s referring to Brigitte Macron seducing her student, the future French President.

      • Lau says:

        The article Celebitchy talked about last week about their “love story” was from Paris Match. In it Brigitte Macron once again tries to make it sound all cute that she groomed a 15 year-old.

  13. L4Frimaire says:

    I just hate that they still do these comparisons between Kate and Meghan because there really is no point. Kate is still a vacant hater who only complied with those who’ll her strings, and treats everyone else with contempt or indifference. You can tell Meghan is completely disgusted with the Windsors.

    • Christine says:

      I’m with you. Kitty is a vacant canvas, who can project whatever she thinks people want to see, and that is it. It’s fucking infuriating that an intelligent, well educated woman is EVER compared to her, much less Meghan, who has made it clear since she was a teenager that she was out to change the world.

  14. Em says:

    The funny thing is that they could have simply been “ Fab Four” but Kate and William are deeply damaged people. William with his overblown sense of importance, ego issues, narcissism and deep seated jealousy as the uglier, balder brother, while Kate was simply not raised right, she has terrible social/ people skills.
    She failed to realize that she could have had a sister in Meghan, someone who she could small talk with, do yoga, take girl trips , learn recipes, go to concerts / games with but her default jealousy and view of any age appropriate woman as a competition ruined things, that is why she took offense with something as simple as borrowing lipgloss and talk about post partum hormones and was offended that she would have to share fashion contacts

    Now she’s a lonely, rapidly aging shell stuck with the mentality of a teenager with no friends, a cheating husband and her sister doesn’t even like her, that’s why she viciously clings to her children because she has no one.

    • Teagirl says:

      Do you think she realizes that? That her choices have led to her current situation? I keep thinking that surely she must realize she has made some mistakes like her treatment of Meghan. Other times I think she must be completely unable to recognise she is the author of her own problems. Does she sit there and wonder how it all came to this? Sad to say given her history, she probably blames everybody else but herself.

      • Persephone says:

        Sorry @Teagirl, I think you are crediting Khate with too much self-awareness.

      • Em says:

        No she doesn’t. To Kate winning is leaving Adelaide cottage with a dead woman’s tiara, wearing ugly Jenny Peckham / Catherine walker clothes and having the entire British press ooh and aah over something as simple as flipping a pancake, she doesn’t care if she has no one, to her she will be queen and it will all be worth it. What a sad pathetic life.

      • Smart&Messy says:

        She still has her pimp mom whispering in her ear, too. It is hard for her to do any self-reflection when she has been dependent on her mother and later Peg and Carole in making decisions. I don’t think she has ever made a decision in her life without input from one of them.

    • Murphy says:

      She doesn’t even do these things with her actual sister (anymore).
      It’s a miserable existence.

  15. girl_ninja says:

    I am so glad that Meghan is away from that trash lot of soulless ghouls. Especially from that lazy copycat and her rage monster husband.

  16. Dhianna says:

    I wonder if Kate actually thinks about how SHE alone drug down the royal family because of HER jealousy and racism? That is something I am sure she is very proud of.

  17. Chantal1 says:

    Lol which would be worse to C-Rex and the Racist Factory – being called celebrities or being called a soap opera? The latter is the more apt description, although I would add “trashy” soap opera.

    Special K’s disgusting style, image, and mannerism stalking of everything Meghan is on another level and screams ” Danger: Urgent Intervention Needed”! She’s not just copying Meghan. She’s obsessively trying to become and replace Meghan, a true modern princess. K hasn’t been this obsessed with someone since stalking and landing Willy Nilly. And she would need a brain and a personality transplant to even get in a race to compete against Meghan. She and her moronic husband need to start focusing on each other and their family and leave the Sussexes alone. And get much needed help for their obvious mental health issues

  18. equality says:

    I could believe that maybe H&M sent gifts to George, Charlotte and Louis. I don’t believe that W&K sent anything to Archid and Lili.

    • Anna says:

      This👆 Especially since we’ve all basically agreed on who the Royal Racists are.

    • Teagirl says:

      When I read that they ‘exchanged gifts’ I snorted . I suspect it was one way only.
      I keep thinking ‘ you don’t know me well enough to buy my children presents’.

    • Sunday says:

      Exactly my thought, @equality, and it’s this type of vaguery that really frustrates me. There’s a huge difference between both parties exchanging gifts for the good of the children versus only one side doing the gifting. If W & K can complain about Easter presents but won’t even send their biracial niece and nephew Christmas gifts, then that’s the newsworthy part. IDK, it’s this kind of seemingly small inaccuracy that then gets accepted into the general narrative that really irks me, and we see it time and time again.

    • Jais says:

      Right? After it was said they “exchanged gifts”, the only other detail was that Harry and Meghan sent the wales kids presents. Didn’t read anything that definitively said Archie and Meghan received gifts from the wales.

  19. manda says:

    she shudders AND giggles? she really is SUCH a weirdo, omg, all I can picture is her maniacally laughing to herself. no wonder she has no friends

  20. YeahRight says:

    Did we really need Omid to tell us what we been seeing with our own eyes for years now, that Willy’s coworker is obsessed with Meghan.
    Willy and his co-worker throw whatever gifts Harry and Meghan send those kids away.

    • Ariel Sussex says:

      Very much so my first thought. WanK children do not see those gifts. And how can WanK buy gifts for children whom they don’t know?

  21. sparrow says:

    I can see this. Meeting Meghan must have been like meeting a modern woman who had done things with her life, knew how to talk with anyone and everyone, had get up and go, had a lovely accent, was beautiful. I think all of that knocked Kate off her feet and left her unable to converse or get on with this total opposite. Most people would have grabbed the opportunity to make such a great new friend. But not Kate.

    • Jaded says:

      Yup. That and William’s obvious attraction to Meghan. Kate sees all women as competition, not as valued friends, and her hatred of Meghan stems in large part from Meghan’s accomplishments that far outshine hers. I still think William said/did something suggestive or overly familiar to Meghan and she shot him down, hence the sudden turn against her by them both. What a dysfunctional, ugly lot the Windsors are.

      • sparrow says:

        Agreed. Or it could be even more oblique, such as a remark from William to Kate re Meghan, something about how good she looks or lucky Harry. I don’t think it’d take much for a woman such as Kate to react strongly nor for a man as silly as William to say something stupid about one woman to another.

  22. Ace says:

    The “desesperate” comments sounded really weird and exactly the type of thing the BM would write, so I appreciate the context.

    I can totally picture Keen shuddering and giggling, can’t you? Exactly the reaction a closed-minded mean girl bully would have, which is exactly what she is.

  23. Jais says:

    Shuddering and giggling to belittle Meghan’s existence. As if she’s a joke. When we’ve all got eyes to see that Meghan is kindness and grace. And someone else is not. Someone else is a juvenile mean girl though.

  24. Rnot says:

    What a wasted opportunity. The thing that’s so tragic is that Meghan would have been Kate’s best ally if she’d just been kind. Kate’s position would have been more secure if she’d seen the opportunity that Meghan represented instead of the threat. Meghan was perfectly willing to be the supporting act. Just imagine if the king’s daughters-in-law were a united front.

    • sparrow says:

      Could’ve been a great ally, you’re totally right. I think it’d be hard for anyone to be a supporting act to Kate, tho, without easily and involuntarily outshining her!

  25. VilleRose says:

    We already knew all of this so Omid not really spilling any tea here. Kate has probably never recovered from the fact that she was outed as the instigator in the “Meghan made Kate cry over bridesmaid tights” story. She definitely carried a grudge before that but her body language around Meghan in the few times they’ve been in close proximity since Harry and Meghan left the UK has been unintentionally hilarious. She can’t even have a neutral facial expression, let alone formulate a complete sentence when Meghan is near. So the fact she giggles and pretends to shiver when Meghan is mentioned, that totally tracks. She is obsessed with her and we can tell in the way she dresses among other things.

  26. BlueNailsBetty says:

    “ Meghan never wants to step foot in England again: No other visits by Meghan have been forthcoming and according to the serialisation, she “never wants to set foot again in England” as she “never felt at home”.But despite Meghan’s dislike of England and the fact that she does not want to return, as per Omid Scobie’s new book…”

    I truly hope Scobie said nothing of the sort because this just enlarges the target that’s already in Meghan.

    If I remember correctly, Meghan hasn’t said she dislikes England and never wants to go back to it. So putting inflammatory words in her mouth would be grossly irresponsible. Scobie seems like he takes his job seriously so I hope this is just more tabloid bullsh*t by the rota.

  27. JJ says:

    We all knew Kate was obsessed with Meghan due to her trying to copy her style, and her manner with people although it always falls short. I think, quite seriously, Kate doesn’t know who she is as a person and that’s why she cosplays Diana, the Queen, and Meghan. Those 3 women knew who they were/are, had their own style, did their roles in their own unique way, and dealt with people on visits and tours in their own way because they were or are self-assured women who knew what they brought to the table. I don’t think that is true of Kate and that’s where the hate comes in. If Kate would focus on her own strengths and how that could make her effective in her role, she wouldn’t have time to hate on Meghan. She would be busy living her life and fulfilling her role.

  28. QuiteContrary says:

    The royal family doesn’t deserve Meghan’s grace and shine, so I hope it’s true that she plans never to return to England. I think she genuinely admired QEII, so wanted to be at that funeral, but that nightmare of a family ensured that even that experience would be an ordeal.

    As for Kate, she is so unevolved that of course she only can giggle and shudder when Meghan is mentioned. I doubt that even if pressed Kate would be able to articulate her feelings about Meghan — it’s hard for anyone, but especially someone who leads an unexamined life, to admit to feeling completely inadequate and outclassed.

  29. J.ferber says:

    Absolutely tracks. And snapping shots of all her outfits.

  30. Over it says:

    In the words of queen B. Green eyes envy me , they hate me because they want me and might I also add they hate me because they want to be me . Me being Meghan . Kate is one obsessed, crazy ass B-atch .

  31. J.Ferber says:

    Because Kate is so literal, she probably thought Meghan meant that Kate’s brain is equivalent to an actual baby’s, with nothing to do with the hormones. That would be right, but Kate is insulted bc she believes she’s being called, like Winnie the Pooh, “a bear of few brains.” (I think that’s the quotation.)

  32. J.Ferber says:

    Look closely at Kate’s header picture. It’s as if death rays are shooting out of her eyes. Cold as ice, an idiot, and a jealous, lazy, entitled bitch. One dangerous, psycho lady. Perfect match for her husband.

  33. GrnieWnie says:

    Wow, what a shock. You refuse to communicate with your son, and then you’re “shocked” by his behaviour/some outcome that, idk, he probably wanted to talk to you about. It’s shocking!

    These people…they have so much staff around them to do the tasks they don’t want to do. They’ve had that staff since birth. I think they’ve lost the ability to actually communicate in uncomfortable situations. That’s why the family is such a mess. They’re never forced to confront reality. They can buy or worm their way out of any difficult situation by simply wielding their wealth or position.
