Omid Scobie’s publishing company, Meyou Ltd, has been closed down after being on the receiving end of a compulsory strike-off notice in December 2024.
MeYou, which Scobie established in 2016, and of which he has always been the sole director, has been dissolved according to Companies House.
It 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.
Richard Eden of the Daily Mail, writes: “December’s compulsory strike-off notice was the fourth issued against MeYou. Back in 2022, the company dodged being shut down by filing three sets of annual accounts in a single day in April that year.”

The Diary Editor adds: “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.”
The most recent filing history on Companies House is dated February 18, 2025, and states ‘dissolved via compulsory strike-off’, issuing a note that documentation will be available soon.
Often dubbed ‘Meghan’s mouthpiece’, Omid Scobie co-penned the book ‘Finding Freedom’, which was published in 2020, depicting the lives of Harry and Meghan.
In Endgame, Scobie mentioned an alleged rift between King Charles and Prince William, detailed the UK’s media relationship with the Prince and Princess of Wales, and highlighted the aftermath of Prince Harry’s relationship with the Royal Family following his move to California.
Most recently, Scobie’s latest business venture is a TV project called ‘Royal Spin’, which has been sold to Universal TV for a series development, the Daily Mail reports.
As a result, the author has made the trans-Atlantic move to California, leaving the UK behind.
