A bombshell book is set to reveal that Meghan Markle accused two individuals of discussing concerns about her son Archie's skin colour. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sparked a race row during their Oprah Winfrey interview when they alleged that an unnamed member of the Royal Family had speculated about how dark Archie's skin might be when he was born.
Unveiling the Accusations
In a shocking revelation, author Omid Scobie's book "Endgame" will disclose that Meghan named two members of the Royal Household in private letters she wrote to King Charles. The identities of these individuals have not been disclosed but have been leaked to The Celeb Report.
Reigniting the Race Row
The revelation of the two accused persons has the potential to re-ignite a bitter race row that led the late Queen Elizabeth to respond three years ago by stating, "recollections may vary." The names of these individuals are said to appear in letters exchanged between Meghan and Charles in the spring of 2021, following the Oprah interview.
Confronting Unconscious Bias and Ignorance
Meghan believed that there was a need to address unconscious bias and ignorance within the Royal Family, according to the book. On the other hand, Charles wanted his letters to express that he harbored no ill will or casual prejudice. The book claims that while there were no hard feelings about the specific incident, many other concerns remain unresolved.
Protecting Identities
Scobie claims to know the names of the accused individuals but is prevented by UK laws from reporting their identities. It is not known if the second person is a member of the Royal Family or someone who works for the family, but they are a member of the Royal Household.
Previous Denials and Scobie's Role
During an interview in March 2021, Meghan refused to name the individuals involved, stating that it would be damaging to them. Additionally, Prince Harry denied making accusations of racism against the Royal Family and instead referred to it as a case of unconscious bias. Scobie, known as "Meghan's Cheerleader," previously wrote the couple's biography "Finding Freedom" and the court heard that the Sussexes had briefed favorable stories to him via an aide.
Endgame, Scobie's second royal book, is set to hit bookshelves on Tuesday and is expected to shed light on the ongoing tensions within the Royal Family.
