Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have previously been praised for paying tribute to their late mother-in-law through their fashion choices, but Omid Scobie has claimed that they were encouraged to do so.
The unofficial mouthpiece to the Sussexes is set to release a bombshell book titled Endgame and is described as "a penetrating investigation into the current state of the British monarchy". The book's description states: "An unpopular king, a power-hungry heir to the throne, a queen willing to go to dangerous lengths to preserve her image, and a prince forced to start a new life after being betrayed by his own family."

He added: "During the past thirteen years, Diana cosplay has become a royal staple.

Omid's bombshell book is titled Endgame (ITV)Ahead of the book's release, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reportedly distanced themselves from it and the author has attempted to squash claims that he is friends with the Duchess. He tweeted: "And let’s get this nonsense out the way - #ENDGAME is about the current state of the British Royal Family.
"It’s not 'Harry and Meghan’s book', I’m not 'Meg’s pal', the Sussexes have nothing to do with it, their story is a small part of a much bigger one you can read in 12 days."
