Omid Scobie defends calling Kate a 'Stepford wife' and 'detached like the Queen'

Omid Scobie has caused shockwaves after his new controversial Endgame was released this week. The Royal author compared Kate Middleton to a 'Stepford wife' as he discussed the book on ITV's This Morning on Thursday, reports the Mirror.The author originally shot to fame after penning Harry and Meghan's book, Finding Freedom in 2020, and has since released another book titled ' Endgame' which details the current state of The Firm.

Appearing on the show, Omid was asked by host Craig Doyle about his comments regarding Kate, the Princess of Wales.Defending his words, Omid claimed: “It said ‘Stepford wife-like’.”Describing the Princess as more detached than the Queen, he went on to say: "I think that the whole section of the book, if you read it in detail talks about that she's never puts a step wrong, but also that the role does require that kind of stately detachment and, and it compared her to the Queen in a very favourable way, actually."But of course, if you compare that to say, everyday folk, there is a very reserved, almost Stepford-like approach to those kind of things.”Host Craig then said a lot of the book “feels like a bit of a hatchet job against the Royal Family”.

When asked about his relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Omid revealed: "I’m not their friend, I’ve never sat down with Meghan privately for interviews, I’ve never exchanged information with Meghan.

I’m not in their private world in any way whatsoever.”The royal author's appearance on This Morning was his first interview since his book, Endgame, was released on Tuesday.
