Harry and Meghan cheerleader-in-chief Omid Scobie has his company forcibly closed down by the Crown.
RICHARD EDEN's latest royal bombshell | Daily Mail Online
"Scobie age 43, declined to comment on the fate of MeYou. But I can disclose that the Crown's treasure-chest is not about to swell: the company had just £359 in its coffers when Scobie was troubled to file its accounts."
He's been obliged to watch, powerless, as his favourite couple have been subjected to a fearful pummelling in print, which included being labelled 'the most entitled, disingenuous people on the planet' by a Montecito neighbour.
But as Omid Scobie digests Vanity Fair's profile of Prince Harry – 'lost, out of his depth, and naive' – and Meghan, working for whom is alleged to have caused some former members of staff to undergo 'long-term therapy', might he have difficulties of his own to contend with?
I ask because Scobie's company, MeYou, has been closed down after being on the receiving end of a compulsory strike-off notice in December.
Seemingly indifferent to that warning, Scobie, who recently moved to California – so that he's now, so it's said, approximately two hours' drive from Harry and Meghan – took no action.
In consequence, MeYou, which Scobie established in 2016, and of which he has always been the sole director, has been dissolved. This means that it ceases to have a legal owner, with the result that its bank account is frozen and any assets are passed to the Crown.
It's a peculiarly piquant fate for an author who has had an intense, if changeable, relationship with the Royal Family. Back in 2020, he described his reporting of the monarchy as 'celebratory', adding that he'd challenge 'anyone to find a negative story' he'd written about the Windsors.
