A controversial royal family biographer is in trouble over a tweet he posted minutes earlier Kate Middleton announced his cancer diagnosis.
Omid Scobie – who wrote a controversial book about the royal family last year – shared a tweet of him setting an alarm for 6pm on Friday… the time in England that Kate Middleton shocked the world by revealing she has cancer.
And shortly after the Princess of Wales revealed the information, two things happened: Scobie took down the tweet and social media criticized him.
Comments calling the tweet in bad taste and attacking Omid’s character ran rampant on X… and the journalist finally had to address the controversy online after several media outlets reported the news.
In another tweet posted on Friday, Scobie explains that he didn’t know what the announcement was about and just wanted to alert his followers to the news – deleting his post shortly after watching Middleton’s video.
Scobie expresses his frustration with the media outlets that reported the story, saying they published the post as if it were a sick “countdown” to the news… which he says was never his intention.

It’s not entirely shocking that some people might think Omid was downplaying the news… because he’s a pretty controversial figure in the royal realm. Remember, Scobie wrote the book “Endgame,” which made some serious claims about the royal family.
Among them, two royals were accused of having made racist comments about Meghan It is tormentthe children. Although they were not to be identified, a Dutch translation of the book listed them … as King Charles and Princess Kate.
Scobie’s said the two were misidentified… but the book left a bitter taste in many people’s mouths – and it looks like Scobie’s is no longer getting the benefit of the doubt, especially when it comes to the Princess of Wales.
It seems like this is a simple miscommunication… but tensions are obviously high – with so many X users ready to jump to Kate’s defense.
