'Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival' by Omid Scobie examines the challenges facing the British monarchy following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Scobie, a seasoned royal reporter, uses his extensive experience and access to insider sources, including Palace staff, royal acquaintances, and the royals themselves, to provide a detailed account of the institution's struggles. The book highlights the monarchy's issues with outdated views on race, class, and finance, set against the backdrop of a world that is rapidly evolving. Scobie's analysis questions whether the monarchy can adapt and make necessary changes to remain relevant and survive in the modern era, presenting a critical look at an institution facing a pivotal moment in its history.
