Meghan Markle's biographer has penned his third royal book, with the UK and Commonwealth rights being acquired by Sphere Fiction.
Rather than delivering another tell-all biography about the royal family, Scobie has ventured into fiction.
His new book centres on a Buckingham Palace press officer in what is described as a romantic fiction, marking a significant departure from the journalist's previous royal-focused non-fiction works.
The book, titled "Royal Spin", represents Scobie's first foray into fictional storytelling while still drawing on his extensive knowledge of royal affairs.
