News until July of this year, will release his second insider book on the royal family on 21 November.<\/p>\n<p>Sharing a photo of his workstation on X, formerly known as Twitter earlier this year, he shared a sneak peek of what they can expect to read in the book.<\/p>\n<p>The front cover of the book shows three royal couples; King Charles and Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales , and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle .<\/p>\n<p>The promotional material for the new book has already branded Prince William &#8216; power-hungry&#8217; and Charles &#8216;unpopular&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>A source told The Mail on Sunday this weekend: &#8216;I&#8217;ve been told this is bad, very bad.

Some are even speculating it may name the person who questioned what colour Archie&#8217;s skin would be.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Everyone knows Omid is the Sussexes&#8217; unofficial mouthpiece, so it&#8217;s fair to say there will be a huge deal of interest in this book on both sides of the Atlantic.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Chapter headings include: &#8216;Shaky Ground: The Queen is Dead, the Monarchy Faces Trouble&#8217;, &#8216;The Fall of Prince Andrew: Scandal, Shame and Silencing Jane Doe&#8217;, &#8216;Race and the Royals: Institutional Bigotry and Denial&#8217;, &#8216;Gloves On: Prince William, Heir to the Throne&#8217;, and &#8216;Gloves Off: Prince Harry, Man on a Mission&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Publisher HarperCollins has previously said that the book will &#8216;have the world talking&#8217;, and Scobie has warned it will reveal moments the Royals should be &#8216;ashamed of.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>In Finding Freedom, Scobie wrote in detail about the first night Meghan, 42, and Harry, 39, spent together and recounted seemingly verbatim conversations between the Sussexes and senior royals.<\/p>\n<p>He has continued to be a favoured mouthpiece for the Sussexes and is often the first to post information about their charitable endeavours and awards on social media.<\/p>\n<p>This week, he took yet another dig at the King and Queen for walking along a red carpet laid out for them over bare ground in Kenya during their State Visit last week.<\/p>\n<p>Writing on X, formerly Twitter, he said: &#8216;Even if this was a choice made by the hosts (and it probably was), the optics of the King and Queen walking on a red carpet to avoid soil at Nairobi National Park are pretty ridiculous and out of touch.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;A\u00a0clued-up Palace aide could have easily asked for it to be removed.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>But Scobie was criticised for his comment, including by Kenyan journalist Joseph Wakhungu, who wrote: &#8216;I can tell you that&#8217;s just how all visiting heads of state and government are treated when they land in Kenya.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Responding to a fan on social media who wrote of Endgame, &#8216;I hope it goes further and deeper than Finding Freedom&#8217;, Scobie responded: &#8216;They&#8217;re worlds apart.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/06\/15\/77179703-12716003-Scobie_posted_a_photo_on_X_formerly_known_as_Twitter_which_showe-a-99_1699283642996.jpg\" height=\"753\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Scobie posted a photo on X, formerly known as Twitter, which showed chapter 13 of his book, &#8216;A Dangerous Game: Royals and the Media&#8217; suggesting he may take aim at the British press<\/p>\n<p>The sneak peek at the book comes after Scobie previously revealed a whole chapter of Endgame focuses on Prince William.<\/p>\n<p>The chapter will be called &#8216;Gloves On: Prince William, Heir to the Throne&#8217; as he confirmed it was at the printers.<\/p>\n<p>The presence of an entire chapter on the Prince of Wales is likely to cause concern at the Palace, given Mr Scobie&#8217;s outspoken support of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Scobie has revealed other chapters in the book are called &#8216;Baggage: The Lingering Trials of King Charles&#8217;, and another: &#8216;Gloves Off: Prince Harry, Man on a Mission&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The Prince and Princess of Wales&#8217; staff are likely to be worried the chapter will not be favourable to the Prince, and will instead repeat some of the allegations made in Harry&#8217;s book Spare.<\/p>\n<p>This could include an alleged physical altercation in which Prince William is said to have pushed Harry into a dog bowl at Frogmore cottage.<\/p>\n<p>The Duke also wrote that his brother, with whom he has not spoken for months, called his wife &#8216;difficult&#8217;, &#8216;rude&#8217; and &#8216;abrasive&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Other chapters in the book include one entitled &#8216;Shaky Ground: The Queen is Dead, the Monarchy Faces Trouble&#8217; and a further one called &#8216;Race and the Royals: Institutional Bigotry and Denial&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a chapter labelled &#8221;Oh God, I Hate This&#8217;: King Charles&#8217;s Premiere&#8217; &#8211; a reference to a comment made by Charles about a pen that leaked while he was signing a visitor&#8217;s book in Belfast four days after Queen Elizabeth II died.<\/p>\n<p>The author also revealed there is a chapter called: &#8216;The Fall of Prince Andrew: Scandal, Shame and Silencing Jane Doe&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>In a message posted on X, Mr Scobie said: &#8216;Just been told that #ENDGAME is officially at the printers!
