Endgame by Omid Scobie explores the internal dynamics of the British royal family, from key players to important machinery that helps the Firm run. Published in 2023, the book comes at a time when questions and conversations abound about the role and relevance of the monarchy.
Some form of monarchy exists in more than a fifth of the world’s formally recognized nation-states. Besides Europe, monarchies are present in the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Many of these can be traced back to the British Empire. The British monarch is still the head of state of the Commonwealth realms, which include Canada and Australia. Understandably so, the monarchy still prevails in Britain. However, their influence over other nations has been waning over the years, with more than one Commonwealth nation seeking to cut ties with their colonial parent. Scobie describes how Barbados removed the Queen as the head of state months after her death, and Jamaica awaits a referendum in 2024 to decide on its fate as a future republic.
Despite this, the British royal family is still relatively popular, largely because of the public interest in the family itself and how this fuels business for the tabloids.
