Mr Scobie, who is the co-author of the Sussex biography ‘Finding Freedom’, has spoken out about the couple, claiming the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and in particular Meghan, were “doomed” from the very beginning. Speaking as a guest on Common Sense, an independent news platform, Mr Scobie added that most things within the royal institution have “rarely ever moved forward” and that Meghan’s existence alone has “changed the waters around her”.
Mr Scobie spoke about a particular part in the couple’s docu-series, which was released on Netflix last month, whereby Meghan recalled a conversation that she had had with her private secretary.
Mr Scobie said: “Her private secretary had said that, you know, you’ll come in and you’ll be like, sort of, a foreign microbe or something in the, sort of, biosphere of the Royal Family.
“Every other cell will come and try and fight that and push you out but, at some point, you become part of it.”
Meghan and Harry have both claimed that the Duchess received a far from warm welcome from the media when she joined the Firm, something she claims only intensified with time.
