Princess of Wales now sounds ‘possier’ than Prince William after having several rounds of speaking lessons, claims Omid Scobie’s new book
- British journalist Omid Scobie makes several controversial claims in Endgame
Kate Middleton now speaks ‘possier’ than her husband Prince William thanks to countless elocution lessons, Omid Scobie’s new book claims.
US-based British journalist Scobie makes several controversial claims in Endgame, the book about the royal family published yesterday.
The author says the Middletons had a strategy that involved ‘calculatingly placing Kate at the center of young William’s world’ by persuading her to take a gap year and then study with the prince at St Andrews – rather than to take up a place at the University of Edinburgh.
And the book says: ‘Kensington Palace has never denied that Kate had several rounds of elocution lessons as she became more serious with William.
“Friends have noted over the years that her accent now sounds ‘possier’ and ‘even plumper’ than her husband’s.”

The book was written by Omid Scobie, who is known for his close relationship with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex
Mr Scobie’s new book, ‘Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s fight for survival’, is released in Britain on Tuesday
“Friends have noted over the years that her accent now sounds ‘possier,'” the book claims
Scobie also used his book to launch a stunning and vicious attack on the Princess of Wales, calling her “cold” and slamming her for “advocating for mental health care while ignoring Meghan’s cries for help.”
Harry and Meghan’s ‘cheerleader-in-chief’ claimed Kate ‘shivers’ whenever Meghan’s name is mentioned and has not spoken to her since 2019.
He claims the Princess of Wales has never been interested in befriending her sister-in-law, labeling her a “Stepford-esque royal” and the monarchy’s “last shiny thing for years to come.”
In a scathing chapter dedicated to the future queen, Scobie says the royal family deserved the nickname ‘Katie Keen’ and claimed the late queen liked her because she was ‘coachable’, unlike the ‘strong’ Princess Diana.
Scobie added that Kate “slips under the radar” because she has “never challenged the system with public struggle or outsized ambitions.”

He adds that she feels “comfortable in her role” and is “willing to bring the necessary smile and grace to her duties as a princess.”
“At the very least, the institution ignored Meghan when she was in pain. It’s a dismal record, and with William now openly claiming that his mother was essentially too paranoid to tell the truth, it proves that the institution still operates on the principle that women not born into the family ultimately are disposable.’
He claims her workload is lower than that of other senior members of The Firm – which he says makes her “technically a part-time working royal.”
Scobie’s colorful career began as a celebrity reporter before quickly rising to the public eye as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s ‘cheerleader-in-chief’.
But 20 years later, he has released his second explosive royal book Endgame, following the Sussexes’ 2020 biography Finding Freedom.
Mr Scobie wrote about his book on X last Thursday: ‘And let’s get this nonsense out of 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 friend’, the Sussexes have nothing to do with it, their story is a small part of a much bigger story that you can read in 12 days. ‘
MailOnline has contacted representatives of the Princess of Wales for comment.
