As Omid shared his insight into the event, fans were left thinking about something else after Googling his real age – which some couldn’t quite believe.
Taking to Twitter, one user wrote: “Just Googled Omid Scobie’s age… This mofo claims to be 41!”
While another responded: “But… but… I thought he looked fresh out of uni!”
An additional viewer responded to the tweet writing: “No f*****g way,” while a third person said he “looks about 12”.
Omid’s age is stated as 41 on Google and in that time he’s had a successful career in relation to the royals, with his Instagram bio calling him a NY Times bestselling author, executive Royal Editor for Yahoo News and an ABC and Good Morning America contributor.
He also co-wrote the book Finding Freedom about Meghan and Harry and has continued to give royal insight on the pair since.
Speaking to Holly and Phil on the show, he said of Meghan’s decision not to come: “People around the Sussexes said this was very much about Archie’s fourth birthday. I disagree with that to some extent.
“I also know friends who’ve said that she’s protecting her peace as well. She’s aware of how much of the spotlight goes on her when she even sets a foot in.”
He added: “I understand that it’s often intentional that she ‘wants to steal the spotlight’, but in this case, should she have simply come over and sotod next to her husband?”
King Charles III’s Coronation is taking place on the same day as his grandson Archie’s birthday.
Harry will be in attendance while Meghan will stay at home in the US with her children.
