Meghan Markle May Have Cut Ties With Her Biggest Ally — and Insiders Say It’s a ‘Pattern’
Insiders claim that Meghan Markle has a habit of cutting off people when they no longer serve her purpose.
Meghan Markle has built a reputation as one of the most polarizing figures in the royal family, with every move drawing intense public interest. Consequently, those within her inner circle—from trusted aides to longtime supporters—frequently become subjects of speculation themselves. Now, insiders allege that another one of the Duchess of Sussex’s closest allies was quietly cut off after he was “no longer useful” to Markle and Prince Harry. Sources speaking with Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice Substack claim that the relationship between Markle and one of her biggest supporters, royal author Omid Scobie—who spent years defending the Duke and Duchess of Sussex against critics—has gone ‘ice cold.'
Furthermore, insiders truly don’t believe this break was his decision. After all, the two were once invaluable allies. While discussing this turn of events, one source exclaimed, “There is no way Omid walked away! Meghan was his biggest story, his meal ticket. If someone ended this relationship, it wasn’t him.” Meanwhile, another source, who believes this fits a familiar behavior for the Duchess, added, “She has a pattern. People are incredibly valuable until they aren’t. Once she feels she’s gotten what she needs, she cuts ties and rarely looks back.” Basically, once she is done, you are out!
Scobie rose to prominence as one of the journalists most closely associated with the Sussexes after co-authoring Finding Freedom, the 2020 biography detailing Prince Harry and Meghan’s departure from royal life. He later published Endgame, another book examining deep-seated tensions within the royal family. Although Scobie has consistently denied acting as the couple's spokesperson, his reporting has frequently fueled speculation that he enjoyed unusually close access to their inner circle. Now, however, Scobie has allegedly found himself on the outside looking in—a shift that some believe prompted his recent move to Los Angeles.
But that’s not all; he has also changed his career focus to television and fiction. While discussing this sudden shift, another insider expressed, “Omid built a career covering Meghan. Walking away from your biggest story doesn’t make sense. Being pushed aside does.” Whether this alleged rift reflects a genuine breakdown in his relationship with the Duchess of Sussex or simply a change in Scobie's professional priorities remains unclear. For now, neither party has publicly commented on or confirmed the matter.
