Publisher's summary

Endgame, the explosive book from longtime royal journalist Omid Scobie and author of the international blockbuster Finding Freedom, is a penetrating investigation into the current state of the British monarchy—an unpopular king, a power-hungry heir to the throne, a queen willing to go to dangerous lengths to preserve her image, and a prince forced to start a new life after being betrayed by his own family.

Queen Elizabeth II’s death ruptured the already-fractured foundations of the House of Windsor—and dismantled the protective shield around it. With an institution long plagued by antiquated ideas around race, class and money, the monarchy and those who prop it up are now exposed and at odds with a rapidly modernizing world. Relying on his vast experience as a royal reporter and over a decade of conversations and interviews with current and former Palace staff, trusted friends of the royals and even the family members themselves, Scobie pulls back the curtain on an institution in turmoil to show what the monarchy must change in order to survive.

This is the monarchy’s endgame. Do they have what it takes to save it?

Endgame

I’m happy to get a complete picture of the royals treatment of Meghan and Harry. And the history behind the Winsors.

So much behind the palace walls information

This book delves into the intricate web of give and take between the palace and the press. It is interesting. Loved the author reading.

Ignoring these charges will have consequences!

The Royal Family's arrogance and entitlement does not serve the public. It only serves their mission for their continued existence and financing.

A Good and Informative Read!

A balanced read about the goings on of the royal family past and present. Nothing too earth shattering. I would suggest to not believe what the British media is saying about the book and just read it to form your own opinion. Omid does a wonderful job with the narration.

Articulate, and well narrated

I thought this book was informative and subjected thoughts to both sides of the Monarchy Argument.

When you are actively responding to the story.

Scobie draws a framework of a fractured family who for the most are completely oblivious to the risk presented their way.
