Omid Scobie, Meghan Markle’s close friend, has attempted to blame diversity in the Palace for photos of the Cambridges greeting Jamaican fans in front of a fence.

Scobie slammed The Firm for not ‘avoiding certain imagery,’ after photos of Kate Middleton and Prince William surfaced showing young Jamaicans watching a football match from behind a fence.

Meghan’s close friend expressed his displeasure with the Cambridges’ staff on Twitter, writing, “I do wonder what the hell palace organisers were thinking with some of yesterday’s photo moments.”

“The planning and recon that goes into every step of these engagements is next level, so how did no one think to avoid certain imagery?”

The author, who co-wrote Finding Freedom, added on Twitter: “This is why diversity on a team matters.”
