Internet erupts as Piers Morgan reveals names of Royals accused by Omid Scobie of making racist comments against Harry and Meghan’s children
LONDON, ENGLAND: The internet is exploding after Piers Morgan revealed the two senior members of the royal family who were accused of raising concerns about the skin tone of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's child Archie before he was born.
This comes as the Dutch edition of 'Endgame', authored by British novelist Omid Scobie in the United States, was withdrawn from the stores when the translation appeared to name two senior royals at the center of the charges.
Piers fulfilled the name of his show as he named the two royals who supposedly expressed "concerns" about Harry and Meghan's son Archie's skin tone on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored'.
The names were inadvertently mentioned in Dutch editions of Omid Scobie's new biography, 'Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival'. The episode aired on November 29.
“If Dutch people walking into a book shop can see these names then you, the British people are entitled to know, too."

Piers Morgan said, "The Royals who were named in this book are King Charles and Catherine, Princess of Wales."
According to Scobie's book, Meghan allegedly addressed secret letters to her husband's father, Charles, identifying two other royals who were involved in "troubling" talks about the skin tone of her and Harry's then-unborn infant.
The book's final version, which discusses the status of the British monarchy after Queen Elizabeth II passed away in September 2022, omits the names of the family members who were allegedly accused of breaking libel laws by making disparaging remarks about Archie's skin tone.
The line that was released says, "Even after Meghan and Charles by letter discussed about probable unconscious bias within the family after it was revealed that [redacted] took part in such conversations about Archie, [redacted] has avoided discussing the subject with [redacted]."
Nevertheless, the names were reproduced in a few Dutch-language editions of the book that were published in the Netherlands.
Piers Morgan doesn't believe any racist comments were made toward Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son
Although Piers doesn't "believe any racist comments were ever made by any of the royal family," he nevertheless believes that his fellow citizens should have access to material that only a small number of readers from other countries were unintentionally aware of.
"Frankly, if Dutch people wandering into a bookshop can pick it up and see these names, then you — the British people here, who actually pay for the British Royal family — you’re entitled to know, too."
Internet erupts as Piers Morgan reveals names of Royals who made allegedly 'racist' comments
As Piers Morgan revealed the names of the Royals accused of making racist comments towards Prince Harry and Megan Markle's child, the internet blasted Omid Scobie, with some wanting him to be "sued" over his claims.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry also received backlash online, with one person even claiming that Markle is jealous of Kate Middleton.
As Morgan's clip gained traction, one person wrote, "C’mon @scobie stop hiding and explain yourself matey boy. Do tell us if you intend to sue the publishers or intend to sue your agents? Bravo #PiersMorgan for calling the devious, sly odious Omid lickspittle out."
Another person raged, "I wish Scobie gets sued into oblivion."

A third angry user commented, "Well considering Catherine didn’t say anything and her name only got dragged into it because Meghan is jealous of her, Scobie should be sued."
Slamming Scobie further, the person continued, "He is a misogynist who has lied on many occasions. This has been blown out of proportion & the King has helped more black people then BLM."
One more person also made similar remarks, stating, "Meghan can’t stand the fact that Catherine is the most popular royal in the polls and so had to take her down as she can’t bear not being number one in American. Meghan needs American money (a market of 330 million people versus just 68 million in the UK)."

"Did Doria wonder if she was going to have a freckle face, red haired grand baby? Probably. Who wouldn’t. Megan is the mastermind behind Scobie’s book. This, like everything else won’t work," alleged another person.
Another person also expressed a similar thought, writing, "This conversation of what the baby is going to look like is not uncommon for people in a family to ask."

One more person also slammed the book as well as Harry and Markle, writing, "The Sugars are crying after Piers Morgan outed Scobie and the vile Markle girl for making cowardly and false accusations towards our Royal Family. Charles and Catherine."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 'would still be in the UK' if Royal family protected them from media
According to a new royal family expose, there was a concerted attempt by senior Buckingham Palace officials, with the implied consent of certain royal family members, to malign Harry and Meghan in the British media in return for favorable stories about William and Kate.
Scobie, the author of the recently published royal expose 'Endgame', told Yahoo Entertainment in a recent interview that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to "step away" from their royal responsibilities in February 2021 as a result of the circumstances.
Therefore, Scobie thinks that if the family had provided Harry and Meghan with "as much protection" from the media as they did for William and Kate, the outcome would have been different.
"If the goings-on behind-the-scenes: the leaking, the briefing, the lack of support and speaking out for Meghan, from William, and all the rest, if those things didn't happen they would still be in the UK as senior working royals," he stated.
Scobie added, "And I think the current landscape of working royals would look a lot more different."
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ready to sue over 'Racist Royal' fiasco
The "royal racist" who made remarks about their child's skin tone was identified in a Dutch translation of author Scobie's book, and Harry and Meghan have since been urged to file a lawsuit against him.
According to Mark Stephens, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex might mend fences with the royal family by having their own attorneys file a request for an injunction prohibiting the publication of their names, per Newsweek.
According to Scobie, a "translation error" resulted in their inclusion in the Dutch edition of Endgame, which has now been taken off store shelves. The names, which have been circulating on social media, were not included in any English-language edition, he claimed.
According to Stephens, Meghan has the same legal right to sue as Charles does about the letters, and she has a right to privacy just like the monarch does. Whether or not the names are true, people still have the right to privacy.
"Privacy doesn't just belong to the palace; it belongs separately and severally to Meghan and Harry," Stephens said to Newsweek.
He added, "Presumably Meghan and Harry have given a solemn undertaking that this should never see the light of day, and given their absolute horror at invasions of privacy, it is frankly astonishing that they haven't already instructed Schillings [their legal team] to issue injunctive proceedings against Omid Scobie."
Stephens further explained, "He's let the cat out of the bag, and they can also get the injunction against the world—and it could be the great rapprochement."
According to him, an injunction may be requested in the London High Court and would apply to any future publications or repetitions of the names.
"You're mainly looking to prevent him or anyone else from repeating information that should have never seen the light of day," Stephens said, adding, "The way that Harry and Meghan demonstrate that they didn't want to see this in the public domain is by getting an injunction against the person who's breached their confidence."
"The moral imperative is that they must—given their widely known concerns about privacy and seeing another member of the family suffer as well as themselves suffer from an invasion of privacy—they would want to do everything they could to prevent it going further," concluded Stephens.
