Royal biographer, known as Harry and Meghan's mouthpiece, has returned to the spotlight with the Sussexes, arguing that Meghan and Harry have changed. In his first Substack, he blasted critics for calling the couple's return a defeat. Defending the Sussexes amid claims and queries about their return, he added that Britain was never meant to be permanently left behind, and returning isn't an admission of failure.
However, he went on to admit that time has changed them the most, saying that distance simply reshaped their relationship with home. Scobie believes that the real problem isn't the Sussexes; it's the fixed narrative around them. According to the author of Endgame and Finding Freedom, the Sussexes became symbols in a culture war about race, class, and tradition the moment they left royal life.
He explained that, as a result, what they actually do matters less than what people believe they represent. He went on to share his view, stating that the media machine now runs on opinion and provocation rather than facts, emphasizing that one cannot fact-check their way out of a culture war.
Political and media analysts are closely watching these new developments, as the public debate surrounding the royal family continues to evolve across international platforms. The commentary highlights ongoing tensions between modern public figures and traditional media institutions.
