Mr Scobie, who is the co-author of the 2020 book ‘Finding Freedom’, has spoken out about the couple, claiming the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and in particular Meghan, were “doomed” from the very beginning. Speaking as a guest on Common Sense, an independent news platform, Mr Scobie added that most things within the royal institution have “rarely ever moved forward” and that Meghan’s existence alone has “changed the waters around her”.

Mr Scobie spoke about a particular part in the couple’s docu-series, which was released on Netflix last month, whereby Meghan recalled a conversation that she had had with her private secretary.

Mr Scobie said: “Her private secretary had said that, you know, you’ll come in and you’ll be like, sort of, a foreign microbe or something in the, sort of, biosphere of the Royal Family.

“Every other cell will come and try and fight that and push you out but, at some point, you become part of it.”

Speaking about the late Queen, Mr Scobie told the Common Sense: “If you look back to the time when the Queen passed away, what was the one thing you heard time and time again.

“She represented the constancy, she represented, she was figure that was always there and she was, there was no threatening nature within that, she was apolitical, she was unifying, there was nothing polarising about the Queen in a way that, to the majority, should we say Meghan’s mere presence completely changed that for so many people.”

Mr Scobie points out that, even away from the situation between Meghan and the royals, this country is “still fighting those cells” in other areas of the world.

He added: “Meghan was doomed, in many ways, regardless of whether she was a nice person or a bad one, I think it was irrelevant.”

The host of Common Sense, Dan Carlin, agreed and said: “They were pretty much doomed the minute they said they wanted something different.”
