Synopsis

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?Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

This was edited because pro-royal supporters of white supremacy are complaining to Goodreads which did temporarily lock this review. My updated review as of 12/6/23: This is balanced, mostly kind, and honestly fair. The Royal Family is a publicly funded institution. Folks have a right to opinions and c......more

Goodreads review by Ashley

  Good read if you're interested in a conversation starter for how the British monarchy operates today and what role they should play in the UK's future (should they exist? are they worth the taxpayers' funds? What is the symbiotic relationship between monarchy and press? etc.)   Like many people who......more

Goodreads review by Meri

This would be a 4-ish star rating for me, truthfully, but colour me surprised when I went onto the book's review page and saw perfect examples of what Scobie references with regards to trolls who have a weird obsession with Meghan Markle. The irony? THE BOOK ISN'T EVEN ABOUT HER. It's a full, and ve......more
