Meghan and Harry’s Book Fails to Make Waves in Montecito

Thrown out of bookstore, Katie’s dad spills that Meg got burnt as Montecito residents refused Scobie’s book.

Montecito, the picturesque town where Meghan and Harry have made their $14 million home, seems to be unfazed by the storm of controversy surrounding the royal couple in the UK.

While the names of the royal household members, allegedly mentioned by Meghan in relation to her unborn child, have finally been revealed, Omid Scobie’s book, which has gained international attention, appears to have gone unnoticed in Montecito.

The Times reported that the book, titled “Endgame,” is not being stocked in Montecito’s main bookstore, according to the owner.

Additionally, residents approached by the Times, including the father of pop star Katy Perry, showed no interest in the new release.

It seems that the book’s only presence in the US is on social media, carefully placed and purchased by Meghan’s team, as its organic fanbase is minuscule.

Mary Sheldon, the manager of Tecolote Bookshop, confirmed that they were not stocking “Endgame” and had received no requests for it from locals.

“I don’t know how everyone else feels about it, but in the bookstore community, they don’t seem to care,” said Sheldon.

She explained that the area is filled with famous people, which may explain the lack of interest in Scobie’s book.

Michaela Gaston Morgan, a voiceover actor and member of the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club, where Harry plays polo, echoed this sentiment.

She expressed no interest in reading “Endgame” and wasn’t surprised that others in Montecito felt the same.

“We’re surrounded by celebrities here,” she said, expressing her disappointment with Harry and Meghan’s behavior since leaving the royal family.

Morgan believed that Meghan chose the wrong town if she was seeking attention, suggesting that Montecito residents simply don’t care about Scobie’s book.

The lack of interest in “Endgame” may be a blow to Meghan’s ego, as the book has already dropped out of Amazon’s top 100 list less than a week after its release.

In the UK, it currently ranks 139th on the bestseller book charts, while in the US, it sits at 235th.

Despite a media blitz during its release week, including appearances by Scobie on various daytime shows, the book seems to have failed to capture readers’ attention.

Reports suggest that major bookstores in the UK have even removed the book from their window displays.

London’s oldest bookshop, Hatchard’s, reportedly only has one copy available for order.

Similarly, limited interest was observed at Waterstones, where approximately 14 copies were stacked on a table near the entrance.

It appears that Scobie’s book, despite all the media exposure and controversy surrounding the royal family, has struggled to generate significant sales.

Some critics argue that books about the royals are abundant and that Scobie may have overestimated the public’s interest in his work.

The uniqueness of Harry’s book, being written by a member of the royal family, may have contributed to its initial appeal.

However, it seems that the allure has faded quickly, leaving Scobie’s “Endgame” struggling to find its place among the countless other royal-themed books.
