‘Prince William tried to ban me from royal events’ claims Meghan’s author pal
A friend of the Duchess of Sussex has claimed he was nearly banned from attending royal events by Prince William.
Royal biographer and friend of Meghan Markle, Omid Scobie, claims those who “dared challenge this system” of accessing members of the Firm were “punished” for what they wrote about the family in various biographies.
Revelations made by the biographer supposedly led to him being in the Prince of Wales’ bad books, with Mr Scobie alleging he was “removed from royal email lists” after airing stories the family did not like.

“I’ve known journalists in the past who have been removed from royal email lists or media briefings after publishing stories or books that the Firm didn’t like.
“For me – who also spent years dancing the palace dance for access and perks – my first major ‘punishment’ came after the release of Finding Freedom, a book that told the inside story of the Sussexes’ royal departure.”
The royal expert had written up certain details which left the family furious, Mr Scobie claimed.
He added: “Sources told me that Prince William was so incensed by my revelations that his Kensington Palace team had given negative information to favoured journalists about his brother that he wanted me barred from his engagements.”
