Even with all the PR tricks and scandals he created for himself, the author couldn’t even get his book in the top ten for its first week.
At this rate, he won’t even earn enough to pay back the advance for quite some time.
Omid Scobie
Endgame
Well, turns out Omid Scobie’s eyebrow-raising book had a bit of a slow dance at the popularity party, selling just 9,000 copies in its debut week in the good ol’ USA.
To put things in perspective, Britney Spears’ memoir was rocking and rolling, waving goodbye to Scobie with a whopping 34,438 copies flying off the shelves last week!
And over on the Amazon bestseller list, Scobie’s book found itself at the not-so-cool spot of No. 731. Insiders are dubbing it ‘disappointing’ 📚😬

Omid Scobie reportedly implemented “hundreds of changes” in the Dutch edition of Endgame, as revealed by a royal commentator. The initial Dutch release of Scobie’s book featured alleged comments on Prince Archie’s skin tone attributed to Princess Kate and King Charles.
During promotional interviews, the 42-year-old author initially defended himself, insisting that he never explicitly named any royals in his book versions. However, he later admitted that the Dutch publisher received “early and uncleared text” for translation purposes.
Dutch royal reporter Rick Evers was the first to bring attention to the named royals on social media platform X. Evers now asserts that the re-released version, hitting Dutch shelves on December 8, underwent “hundreds of changes,” which he attributes to edits from the Sussex camp.
Reportedly, the revised edition no longer includes the names of Kate and Charles in connection to the controversial remarks about Prince Archie’s skin tone.
