The royal expert was asked if he had a "vested interest in helping Prince Harry if the opportunity arises"

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s friend and royal expert Omid Scobie has denied his close relationship personally with the royal couple.
The author of Finding Freedom revealed this as he gave evidence at a trial considering unlawful information-gathering claims against a British tabloid publisher recently.
He took the stand as part of the High Court trial in London where Harry is one of the high-profile claimants.
According to AFP, during his cross-examination, Scobie was asked if he had a "vested interest in helping Prince Harry if the opportunity arises".
Scobie denied this and said his appearance in court is "giving ammunition to the tabloids" and "making my life more difficult".
The royal expert went on to say he did not have Harry´s phone number, and that he was wrongly described as a "cheerleader" for the California-based royal couple.
"I don´t have a close relationship with them personally," he added.
