00:00 One of the things I get charged with the most is being Megan's secret friend.
00:05 That I have this direct line of communication with her.
00:08 I'm not her friend.
00:09 And I think that's something I really tried to make clear in the book.
00:12 Well it's funny because that's the first thing a lot of people will think is that this is Megan's revenge.
00:16 They say, "Oh, this is Megan and Harry feeding Omid."
00:20 Pick up the book and read it and you'll be really surprised at how little of this book is actually about Harry and Megan's story.
00:27 Despite that, Omid confirms Megan once reached out to him personally to see how he was doing after he was harassed online.
00:34 Of course, Endgame has already caused controversy.
00:37 The book has been pulled from shops in the Netherlands because the Dutch version reportedly revealed the name of the senior royal who questioned Archie's skin color before he was born.
00:47 The publisher calls it a "translation error."
00:50 Omid's response? "There has never been a version that I've produced that has names in it."
00:56 "For legal reasons, I couldn't name them in the book. I was surprised to find out that it was two people at the center of those conversations."
01:03 And there are more bombshells.
01:05 Like did William cheat on Kate?
01:07 Allegations of an affair between the prince and Rose Hanbury, one of Kate's closest friends, first surfaced in April of 2019.
01:15 This moment. Kate giving Will's PDA the cold shoulder.
01:18 Just added fuel to the fire.
01:20 Cut to this year.
01:22 That's Rose at King Charles' coronation in May.
01:24 There were no photos of her with Kate.
01:27 "Journalists in the UK spend a lot of time digging. And if at this point they still don't have anything, that says a lot.
01:33 But at the same time, those rumors, we still see them trend on Twitter on a regular basis, pretty much every time William steps out for a public event."
01:42 So how'd the firm do damage control?
01:44 Omid says they offered up Meghan and Harry as sacrificial lambs.
01:49 "That's something that's incredibly damaging, I think, for William. There was a kind of willingness to throw Harry under the bus simply to make these things disappear."
