Endgame by Omid Scobie Review

Omid Scobie

About

The follow-up book to Finding Freedom. 
On September 8, 2022 the world stood still as news broke of Queen Elizabeth's II passing. Her death dismantled the protective shield around the world's most famous family and saw a long simmering crisis of confidence in the British monarchy boil over. 
The end of the New Elizabethan age brings in a shorter Carolean era. With this traditional reign comes a brewing power struggle between father ( King Charles III) and son ( William, Prince of Wales) and an outmoded institution riddled with dysfunction, mistrust, and poor judgement. As investigations into the Firm's costs and conduct mount, and their dangerous game with an insatiable press continues, cracks are forming in the House of Windsor's foundations. Now a growing population feel more comfortable than ever questioning the monarchy's relevancy - or the need for one at all. 
Omid Scobie has spent over twelve years covering the lives and work of the Royal Family. His unique position as a young British journalist in the America media helped him forge special bonds within William's, Kate's,  Harry's, and eventually Meghan's worlds. It was from that vantage point he coauthored the bestselling Finding Freedom in 2020, an intimate glimpse into a fracturing family - one that could be splintered beyond repair. Though the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are no longer a part of the monarchy's future, their experiences and actions, good and bad, have put a spotlight on many of the problems at the heart of the institution. With unique insight, deep access, and a willingness to burn his bridges to tell the full story, Scobie draws a candid portrait of a family in peril and a monarchial system facing uncertainty. 
Endgame is the result of more than a decade of unseen reporting and intimate conversations with insiders, Royal Family members, fellow journalists, and those working within the palace walks.
 Our world is modernizing at a pace that the Royal Institution is failing to keep up with, but there is still time for change. This is the Monarchy's endgame... Do they have what it takes to save it?

Review


This book is perfect for people like me who can't get enough Royal Gossip.  

Endgame is a follow up to the book “Finding Freedom”.

Granted it is blatantly obvious that this book was written from a one sided perspective and most of the information shared is from “ anonymous sources from inside the palace” so I take everything with a grain of salt.

 Endgame continues to push the victim narrative to a whole new level while trash talking every single member of the Royal Family and their assistants. 
There is so much trash talking in this book that you don't want to keep reading but it's so juicy you just can't stop until you finish the book. 

Based on the prologue of this book  it seemed to be written to boost Prince Harry and Meghan’s name / brand but sadly fell short. Very, very short.
Instead based on the book and everything contained in it they come off as narcissistic, manipulative ,spoiled brats. 

Sadly, this book definitely did more harm than good to their image.

B-PURE Gentle Skin Cleanser Review

I absolutely love trying new skin care products, especially those designed for people with sensitive skin like myself.  A few months ago on a trip to my local Dollar Tree I found the B- Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser and decided to give it a try.  Review  I was really surprised at how well the B-Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser worked at removing the dirt and oil from my face without stripping and irritating my skin. Let me just say it is definitely the most gentle skin cleanser I have ever come across. It leaves my skin clean, smooth and refreshed every time I use it. The B-Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser is now part of my daily 3 Step Skin Care Routine. I highly recommend trying it for yourself.
