Omid Scobie Sparks Controversy Over Defense of Prince Harry and Meghan Markles Nigeria Visit
Renowned author and journalist Omid Scobie, often associated with his close relationship with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, found himself embroiled in a fiery dispute with royal fans following Harry and Meghan’s recent visit to Nigeria.
Scobie, frequently dubbed Meghan Markle’s mouthpiece, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to vehemently defend the couple against criticism, sparking a contentious exchange with detractors.
As reported by the Mirror, Scobie didn’t hold back in his defense of Harry and Meghan, blasting those who condemned their trip to Nigeria.
In a tweet, he wrote, “So pressed over an overseas visit that didn’t cost the British taxpayer a penny lol.
The state of them.” This statement incited a passionate response from both supporters and critics of the Sussexes.
Encouraging others to rally behind Harry and Meghan, Scobie urged supporters to come to their defense, dismissing the criticism as “pathetic.”
However, his remarks only intensified the debate, with opposing viewpoints clashing fiercely on social media.
In a further twist, Scobie shared tweets from others, including one from Kevin O’Sullivan, which mocked Harry and Meghan’s visit to Nigeria, suggesting it was a “pretend royal tour” and making disparaging remarks about the choice of destination.
The exchange underscored the polarizing nature of Harry and Meghan’s actions, with detractors questioning the legitimacy of their independent endeavors.

Reports indicate that even within the royal family, tensions have flared over the couple’s independent initiatives.
