Omid Scobie - the author of bombshell royal book Endgame - has predicted Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will not get divorced amid speculation about the state of their marriage.

The royal biographer made the prediction during an interview about the couple's involvement in his new book. Omid's earlier release, Finding Freedom, was about the couple leaving behind royal duties, and he's been described as a "mouthpiece" for Meghan.

"People will ask, 'Were Harry and Meghan involved in this book?'" He said on ABC's Nightline, "It couldn't be further from the truth actually."

The reporter also asked Omid about his thoughts on the strength of Meghan and Harry's relationship. This past summer rumours swirled claiming that the couple were heading for divorce and were not getting along.

Omid was quick to squash any negativity surrounding their relationship. "From everything I understand they're absolutely fine," he said.

"This is a pair that literally bonded over their trauma and experiences. Sort of them being against the world, as it felt to them at times. I don't think that bond is particularly breakable," Omid added.

He was also asked if he thought Megan would go back to acting - a quick no - and if the couple would ever move back to England. "I think they found their forever place out here," Omid said, referring to their house in California, "They seem happy, they built a world where they're actually thriving in."

Endgame hit the shelves on Tuesday and the highly anticipated book dropped bombshells about the royal family in the wake of the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Most notably it mentioned an incident that Meghan brought up in a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Meghan claimed that when she was pregnant with her eldest son Archie, a member of the royal family asked her how dark his skin colour would be. She said this unnamed family member was "concerned" about the possibility of Archie having darker skin.

Omid writes in his book that there were two royals who said these kinds of remarks. But he's previously said that he can't name them due to UK law.

He was even asked about it in this interview, where he told the ABC reporter: "Unfortunately those are two names I have to keep to myself from now but I wonder if that would change over the future."

It seemed that the future came as a Dutch translation of the book reportedly named both people and was promptly pulled from shelves. In speaking to Dutch chat show RTL Boulevard, Omid said: "The book is in several languages, and unfortunately I do not speak Dutch. But if there are translation errors, I'm sure the publishers will have it under control. I wrote and edited the English version. There's never been no version that I've produced that has names in it."
