Quite a blizzard of quote marks, don't you think? Never in the field of human grammar has so much mollifying pressure been placed on the humble apostrophe to distance who really said what and why.
But surely if he did not accurately reflect the views the Sussexes want to be made public, they would be repeatedly suing him for gross breach of privacy?
Despite her age, I imagine that the Queen is conversant with most modern methods of communication. But even she must be puzzled as to how Omid Scobie can speak for the Sussexes without apparently ever speaking to them, to report on their innermost feelings via a network of 'friends'.
Or maybe he is a shape-shifting sponge...
I mean his face is definitely becoming blob like and melted.
