Omid Scobie gives most intimate insight yet into Meghan Markle’s move to the UK

Omid Scobie, the author of Finding Freedom and one of the few with intimate insights into the couple back when they first moved to the US, has finally broken his silence over the timeline of this move and all that took place, leading up to the public announcement.

He's even gone as far as to call this move ‘well thought through and breadcrumbed through the last few months.

The conversation itself happened while he sat alongside ABC News.

As part of his admission he claimed, “I think if you've been watching the story really closely, the clues have been there all along.”

The biographer even shared the video on his personal Instagram account and says, “we saw earlier this year that Harry and Meghan started to scale down the size of their offices here, the number of staff working for them in the US.”

“We also saw them scale down their charitable foundation as well to operate on a different working model. And so you can see then along the way this is a couple that have been slowly and methodically planning some form of move.”

Near the end he also said, “Whether it's the version that was announced yesterday, only they know, but this is definitely a couple that have been looking to make changes, for sure.”
