Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's biographer has been slammed in Mike Tindall's new book.

In The Good, the Bad & the Rugby—Unleashed co-written by Tindall and former England rugby player, James Haskell, Omid Scobie's followers are described as " f***ing nuts."


Omid Scobie branded by Haskell as “a very odd bloke”, is a friend of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry and co-wrote the 2020 biography Finding Freedom with Carlyn Durand.

Haskell added: "We all know that American royal fans are f****** nuts, especially Scobieites".

Scobie has previously criticised Mike Tindall, a former England rugby player and husband of Zara Tindall, the daughter of Princess Anne and the niece of King Charles.

He accused the 45-year-old retired rugby player of “cashing in” on his royal connections by appearing on I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.

James Haskell and Mike Tindall co-wrote In the Good, the Bad & the Rugby—Unleashed, which will be released on October 24.

In the new book, Mike said: “I don’t even have access to my Twitter. I just [get] tagged in by anyone who’s talking about anything. It’s so random, what I have to sift through.”

He added: “If there’s any story about me or my kids, it will get entangled into a web of something else, and I’m tagged into reading all this crap.

"That’s the world we live in. Some have got nothing better to do than bag people.”

Mike recalled marrying into the Royal Family in 2011. He said: “Believe it or not, marrying into the Royal Family was pretty easy for me. They were always nice to me, and I was always nice to them. Simple really.”

Mike and his wife Zara Tindall are believed to have had a falling out with Harry and Meghan after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex left the Royal Family, and then publicly criticised them.

A spokesperson for Meghan and Harry denied they had any involvement in Scobie’s biography, which details the couple’s relationship from their first meeting in 2016 until they left the Royal Family at the beginning of 2020.

Meghan has spoken many times about her transition into royal life, which was marred by tense relations with the family, and eventually resulted in the couple stepping down from royal duties and moving to California at the start of 2020.

In the controversial 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Duchess of Sussex said she hadn’t researched the family before joining.

She insisted she had never looked up her husband online while dating.

Meghan said she thought much of the royal etiquette was “part of the fanfare” and was surprised to learn she was to curtsy when she first met Queen Elizabeth II.
