Controversial royal biographer Omid Scobie is set to have an upcoming novel adapted for TV, Universal Television has announced.
Scobie, who co-authored "Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of A Modern Royal Family", said he was "beyond excited" that his yet-to-be-released fiction book "Royal Spin" had been snapped up by studios in a statement on social media.
The 43-year-old author co-wrote Royal Spin alongside young adult writer Robin Benway - and its rights buyout follows a multi-studio bidding war.
Both the book and its TV adaptation are slated to revolve around an American press officer drafted into Buckingham Palace "with the British monarchy reeling from a wave of scandals" - a plotline likely to raise eyebrows given its co-author.
"But in an institution steeped in tradition and strict protocol, change isn't easy - or welcome.
"It turns out the Royal Household can be just as messy and confusing as Capitol Hill.
"Faced with never-ending culture clashes, displeased royal aides with intimidating titles, and risky new love interests, this fish out of water is determined to prove she's got what it takes - and might even find herself in the process."
