Meghan Markle’s friend and “Finding Freedom” author Omid Scobie has been accused of drawing condemnation from Prince William, who reportedly said incorrectly that Britons are “more used to seeing conflict in Africa and Asia.” .
“Is Meghan’s cheerleader Omid Scobie really trying to provoke a condemnation of #PrinceWilliam with some friendly small talk?” said Richard Eden, a pro-monarchy British journalist.
Scobie, who is also a royal editor at Harpers Bazaar magazine, said royal reporter Richard Palmer, who submitted the alleged comment to the UK press group, tweeted an apology.
He said that as the only journalist covering the royal activity of Prince William and Kate Middleton, Palmer’s only job was to share information with media that were not present.
“There would be no real beat without the pool system,” he said, adding that despite its origins, the spread of the misquote is now attributed to him and other journalists.
Scobie said: “For those who don’t know… The Press Association is the only agency with full access to all actual engagements and events (pictures and words). Often, it’s their reports, signed by hundreds of media outlets. , those who guide coverage of the Royal Family around the world”.
