'Endgame' Book Controversy Reignites 'Royal Racist' Speculation

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle urged to sue author Omid Scobie as controversy over alleged 'royal racist' naming in Dutch edition of 'Endgame' escalates.

  • Omid Scobie's book 'Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival' has stirred controversy by allegedly naming the royal who expressed concern over the skin color of Prince Harry and Meghan's son in its Dutch edition. The book has been temporarily pulled from shelves in the Netherlands due to a 'translation error'.
  • Scobie claimed to know the identities of the two royals linked to the allegations in the English edition of the book, but said UK laws prevented him from revealing them.
  • The Dutch edition of the book reportedly named a royal family member who allegedly asked questions about the baby's skin color, causing a renewed interest in the race row.
  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been urged to sue Scobie, as the right to privacy in relation to the letters exists not only for King Charles III, but also for Meghan.
  • Scobie's book is seen as a meticulously-reported deep dive into the systems that maintain the royal family’s image, and has sparked conversations around the relevancy and place of the monarchy.
