"Her death dismantled the protective shield around the world’s most famous family and saw a long-simmering crisis of confidence in the British monarchy begin to resurface."Įndgame will be released on August 1, 2023.
"On September 8, 2022, the world stood still as news broke of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing," reads a summary of the book, in part. Based on a description released by the publisher today, it will focus on the aftermath of Queen Elizabeth's death and the early days of King Charles's reign, offering what sounds like a wider lens on the Windsors than his previous Sussex-focused work. While Scobie's first book was written in collaboration with another royals writer, Carolyn Durand, Endgame is a solo project, and set to come out next August from Harper Collins.
Titled Endgame : Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival, it promises to " back the curtain on an institution in turmoil-exposing the chaos, family dysfunction, distrust and draconian practices threatening its very future." The book is among a number about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex being published in the coming year.Today, Scobie announced ] he's working on another book about the British royal family. Scobie is executive editor (Royals) at Yahoo News UK and editor-at-large at Harpers Bazaar US. On Tuesday, Scobie and Durand’s book Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family will finally be released, but the story isn’t the happily-ever-after many. In her review, Freeman wrote: “The Sussexes were hung out to dry by the palace and the press the question the book fails to answer is why, when they were such a boon to the brand … Finding Freedom has the space to respond to every other media claim, but on this it stays schtum.” Reviewing Finding Freedom for the Guardian, Hadley Freeman wrote that “given the deluge of personal minutiae – from Harry’s emoji habit to Meghan’s favourite hair highlight shades – as well as their litigiousness when it comes to undesired invasions of privacy”, the claim that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not involved did not seem credible. While it has come to light that Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, authorised a senior aide to brief Scobie and Durand for the first book, there is so far no indication that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be involved in this second volume.
Its UK publisher HarperCollins said the book will focus on “a new chapter of the royal story and feature unique insight, deep access and exclusive revelations”, and will “have the world talking”.įinding Freedom, which was a hit in both the UK and the US, was described in its blurb as an “honest, up-close, and disarming portrait of a confident, influential, and forward-thinking couple who are unafraid to break with tradition”.
