Translation Error in Omid Scobie’s Book Raises Doubts and Speculations

An alleged translation error in the Dutch version of Omid Scobie's new book has come under scrutiny, with commentators questioning the accuracy of the claim.

The book, which discusses the experiences of and , apparently named two members of the royal family who expressed concerns about the skin color of their son, .

Royal experts have raised doubts about how such a mistake could occur during translation.

Some even suggest that it may have been a deliberate publicity stunt to boost book sales.

Phil Dampier, a veteran royal reporter, expressed disbelief at the explanation that the error was due to a translation problem.

He questioned how two names could be mistranslated, stating that it simply doesn't make sense.

Dampier also pointed out that Omid Scobie has been known to stretch the truth in the past, referring to him as Meghan's “henchman.”

According to Dampier, Meghan has been targeting Prince Charles and particularly Catherine, as she failed to convince the Queen that she would be better suited for Catherine's role.

The Netherlands publisher, Xander Azizad, referred to the error as an issue with the Dutch edition of the book, without specifically mentioning a translation problem.

This discrepancy has left some commentators unconvinced.

Mr. Dampier reiterated his skepticism, stating that he has not seen the Dutch publisher claiming it was a translation error.

He emphasized the need to approach everything Omid Scobie says with caution, considering his track record of dishonesty.

Furthermore, it seems that Tumblr users have discovered evidence suggesting that Scobie was responsible for overseeing the translation of his book, rather than the publisher.

Last year, Scobie announced that he had contracted Endgame for World English Rights, meaning that the responsibility for translating the book into languages other than English fell on him, not the publisher.

This revelation raises questions about the accuracy and reliability of the translation in the Dutch edition.

Despite Scobie's efforts to generate hype and controversy around his book, critics have not been kind.

Many major reviewers, including those in the United States, have heavily criticized the book, likening it to cat litter.

It appears that by the time Catherine's Christmas concert begins, Scobie's book will likely be forgotten.

In conclusion, the alleged translation error in Omid Scobie's book has cast doubt on the accuracy of its content.

Commentators have raised concerns about the plausibility of such an error occurring during translation.

Additionally, skepticism towards Scobie's credibility and intentions has further fueled speculation.

The discovery that Scobie was responsible for overseeing the translation process raises questions about the reliability of the Dutch edition.

Despite the controversy surrounding the book, it seems that it may not withstand the test of time, fading into obscurity before long.
