Princess Michael of Kent Accused of Making Racist Comments about Meghan Markle, Claims Omid Scobie’s Book
In a shocking revelation, Omid Scobie's new book, “Endgame,” alleges that Princess Michael of Kent made racially insensitive comments about Meghan Markle.
Scobie, a prominent supporter of Prince Harry and Meghan, claims that during a meeting in March 2021 at a Kensington Palace apartment, Princess Michael engaged in gossip with an aide about Meghan, expressing her disdain for the Duchess of Sussex.
According to Scobie, Princess Michael said, “Meghan's made it all about race because that's all everyone does these days.”
This alleged incident took place shortly after the Sussexes' explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, where they detailed their struggles within the royal family.
Princess Michael of Kent has previously faced criticism for wearing a controversial Blackamore brooch to the Queen's Christmas lunch in 2017, which was attended by Meghan for the first time.
Some commentators deemed the piece racist.
At the time, Princess Michael publicly apologized, expressing regret for any offense caused.
The book also reveals another shocking claim made by the Sussexes regarding concerns over Archie's skin color within the royal household.
Meghan Markle initially disclosed this during her interview with Oprah Winfrey, stating that a member of the family had expressed worries about their son's complexion while she was pregnant.
Scobie's book now suggests there were actually two individuals who raised such concerns.
However, not everyone is convinced by these claims.
Lady Colin Campbell, a royal commentator, criticized Scobie's credibility, stating that he is as accurate and truthful as Meghan and Harry themselves.
Campbell pointed out the inconsistencies in the couple's statements, highlighting their differing accounts of who said what during the Oprah interview.
She accused them of seeking attention and generating headlines without regard for facts.
Additionally, Scobie's book alleges that King Charles once referred to his son, Prince Harry, as a “fool.”
While some may find this remark mild, Campbell believes the king could have used even stronger language.
She suggests that terms like “traitor” and “disloyal” might have been more appropriate.
Campbell concludes that amidst all the excerpts from the book, this particular claim appears to be one of the few credible ones.
The accusations made in Omid Scobie's book have once again ignited discussions about racism within the royal family.
While Princess Michael of Kent has previously apologized for her actions, these recent claims raise further questions about the attitudes and behaviors within the monarchy.
As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the royal family will respond to these allegations and address the issue of racial insensitivity.
