Meghan Markle has reportedly parted ways with her most loyal defender, Omid Scobie. For those unversed, Markle and Scobie shared a rock-solid bond for years. However, it seems like their relationship does not exist anymore. Interestingly, Markle and Scobie have denied being friends publicly, but insiders insist that Scobie was one of the Duchess’ strongest and most trustworthy allies.
Insider claims Meghan Markle parted ways with Omid Scobie
Sources tied to Rob Shuter believe that Meghan Markle has cut ties with her most loyal defender, Omid Scobie. One insider dished: “There is no way Omid walked away. Meghan was his biggest story, his meal ticket. If someone ended this relationship, it wasn’t him.” Sources have stated that the former actress has moved on and sees no value in her friendship with Scobie anymore.
Another insider claimed: “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.”
Interestingly, Scobie has relocated to Los Angeles and pivoted towards television and fiction writing, changing gears from royal reporting. The 45-year-old has insisted that he does not have the Sussexes’ phone numbers and does not socialize with them. Not only that, he has always relied on independent sources for his exclusive stories on Markle rather than directly contacting the royals.
Sources insist the change is not a sudden move but a result of his now strained relationship with the Suits star. A source shared: “Omid built a career covering Meghan. Walking away from your biggest story doesn’t make sense. Being pushed aside does.”
Neither Markle nor Scobie has commented on where they stand today. Although sources insist their friendship quietly faded away into oblivion.
Notably, the Duchess is dealing with her own issues post the Sussexes’ private meeting with King Charles at his residence. A source close to the Sussexes revealed to PEOPLE: “There’s a lot of sadness over how the week unfolded and that she wasn’t able to be by his side.” But another insider shared that when it comes to how Harry deals with his family, “she always lets him lead.”
