Piers Morgan has tonight named the two senior royals Omid Scobie claims are ‘concerned’ about Prince Archie’s skin colour.
The original claim about racism was made by Meghan Markle in her infamous 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, when she revealed there were “several conversations” between herself, Harry and members of the royal family about “how dark” their unborn baby Archie would be are.
But this week the claims have resurfaced after royal author Scobie’s book Endgame appeared to reveal the name of the person who allegedly made the comment in the Dutch translation.
Dutch royal journalist Rick Evers subsequently noted that two members of the royal family appeared to have been referred to as “royal racists” in his country’s translated copy.
Scobie’s Dutch publisher, Xander Uitgevers, said they had been instructed by US bosses to put sales ‘on hold’ at the eleventh hour.
The royal author released a statement this afternoon insisting it was an “error in translation” in the Dutch version and that he was “glad” it was corrected.
