Piers Morgan names the two senior royals who Omid Scobie claims were the ones ‘with concerns’ over Prince Archie’s skin colour
Piers Morgan has tonight named the two senior royals who Omid Scobie claims were the ones ‘with concerns’ over Prince Archie‘s skin colour.
The original claim was made by Meghan Markle in her infamous 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview when she revealed there were ‘several conversations’ between herself, Harry and Royal Family members about ‘how dark’ Archie would be.
But this week, the claims have surfaced again after the Dutch translation of Mr Scobie’s book Endgame appeared to reveal the name of the person alleged to have made the comment.
Dutch royal journalist Rick Evers then spotted that two Royal Family members appeared to have been named as the ‘royal racists’ in his country’s translated copy.
Mr Scobie’s Dutch publisher Xander Uitgevers said they had been ordered by US bosses to put sales ‘on hold’ at the eleventh hour.

The royal author issued a statement this afternoon in which he insisted it was a ‘error in the translation’ in the Dutch version and he was ‘happy’ that it was being corrected.
After Mr Scobie described it as an ‘error in translation’, his Netherlands publisher simply referred today to ‘an error that occurred in the Dutch edition’ – not making any reference to a translation issue, suggesting there may be a difference in opinion as to what actually happened.
The statement read: ‘The rectified edition of Eindstrijd by Omid Scobie will be in bookstores on Friday 8 December. Xander Uitgevers temporarily removed the book from sale, due to an error that occurred in the Dutch edition.’
Thousands of copies of Endgame, which was published globally yesterday to withering reviews for its vindictiveness toward the Royal Family, now face being pulped as a result of the error.
