Omid Scobie mocked over Endgame sales by fellow royal author: 'Is that all?'
The Endgame and Finding Freedom author has had lower first-week sales than another royal author.
Scobie refuses to apologise for names appearing in book
Omid Scobie has been mocked for the sales of his controversial Royal Family biography Endgame by a fellow royal author.
Royal author Valentine Low took to X, formerly Twitter, to announce that his 2022 book, Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown, sold more copies than Scobie's second royal book.
"Congratulations to Omid Scobie, whose book Endgame sold 6,448 copies in the UK in its first week," Low wrote on X.
"That is almost as many as my book Courtiers, which sold 6,520 in its first week."
Royal watchers on X had plenty to say about Low's comments, with one writing: "You are telling me, after all those interviews and ridiculous stunts they tried to pull. This is it?"

Another wrote: "Am I allowed to feel smugly superior because I was one of the 6520 but not one of the 6448?"
ITV's Chris Ship responded with: "Salty …! (But congrats to both authors on your fine numbers)."
Scobie's book has resulted in significant backlash among some royal fans and commentators for its pro-Sussex stance and because it named two senior royals that were allegedly involved in an incident prior to the birth of Prince Archie in 2019.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have both previously alleged two royals questioned the colour of their son's skin.

The naming of the royals appeared in a Dutch translation of the book which was pulled from shelves in the Netherlands shortly after the mistake was realised.
The two royals did not appear in the English version nor any other translation on sale.
Scobie has denied ever including the names in any copy of the book.
“I never submitted a book that had those names in it,” he said in an interview on ITV’s This Morning late in November.
He also told BBC Two's Newsnight that a "full investigation" is underway into how the names made it into the biography.
According to the BBC, Buckingham Palace is considering legal action over Morgan naming the two royals, with a Palace spokesperson telling the broadcaster that it is "exploring all options".
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not yet publicly commented on the allegations made in the Dutch translation.
