Scandal Erupts as Royal Biographer’s Book Accused of Exposing Alleged Racist Remark

A shocking revelation has caused a stir in the royal family, as Omid Scobie's book faces accusations of exposing an alleged racist remark made regarding the skin tone of Archie.

The Dutch edition of Scobie's biography, titled “Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival,” was swiftly pulled from bookstores on November 28th after readers discovered an error.

Publishers Zander Uitgevers, upon receiving a last-minute request from the US, promptly halted the sales of “Endgame” and awaited further instructions.

Scobie, in a state of panic, denied directly labeling a senior royal member as the racist individual, claiming that he had received a letter identifying the perpetrator as either Meghan or King Charles.

However, due to libel rules, he was prohibited from including this information in his book.

Adding to the controversy, a page from a review copy of the book distributed to Dutch media seems to reveal the individual's name.

Despite having knowledge of the alleged person, Scobie adamantly refused to disclose their identity, attributing the inclusion to a translation error.

In an interview with Dutch tabloid RTL Boulevard, the royal biographer maintained his innocence, stating, “The book is in several languages, and unfortunately I don't speak Dutch, but if there are translation errors, I'm sure the publishers will have it all under control.

I wrote and edited the English version.

There's never been any version that I've produced that has names in it.”

The reason behind the inclusion of the individual's name in the foreign language edition while absent in other editions remains unclear.

Netizens, however, were not convinced by Scobie's explanation.

One user speculated that it could be a case of blackmail, suggesting a connection to the presence of a prince and princess toddler in Montecito, California.

Others questioned how such an error could have passed through editing, legal, and fact-checking processes, hinting at intentional actions to tarnish the royal family's reputation.

Chris Ship, ITV News Royal Editor, expressed his skepticism, pointing out that two names appeared in the Dutch version of Scobie's book, revealing the alleged royal racists who inquired about Archie's skin color.

Ship questioned how these names could be present in print if the English version did not contain either of them.

In response to the accusations, a source close to Dutch publisher Zander Uitgevers affirmed that the translation they received was correct, suggesting that the error did not originate in Holland.

As the controversy continues to unfold, the royal family faces yet another challenging situation.

The allegations of a racist remark have sparked outrage among netizens, with some seeing it as part of a coordinated attack on the royal family.

Amidst the growing scandal, the truth behind the translation error remains uncertain, leaving many questioning the credibility of the book and its author.
