Controversial Biography Endgame Ignites Royal Family Scandal: Translation Error Exposes Senior Royal's Racist Remarks
Controversy surrounding a new biography on the British royal family escalates as the Dutch edition is pulled due to a translation error that may have exposed senior royals involved in racially insensitive comments about baby Archie's skin color. The book's author denies naming the accused individuals and a corrected version is set to be released. This reignites discussions about race and bias within the monarchy, shedding negative light on Prince William and King Charles III. The withdrawal of the book has sparked new interest and anticipation for the revised edition to address the contentious claims.
A new biography, "Endgame" by Omid Scobie, has ignited controversy surrounding the British royal family. The Dutch edition of the book was abruptly pulled from shelves due to a translation error that potentially revealed the identity of a senior royal who questioned the potential skin color of Prince Harry and Meghan's son, Archie. The controversy stems from Meghan Markle's claim in the Oprah Winfrey interview that an unnamed royal expressed concerns about Archie's skin color. The corrected edition of the book is set to be released in early December.
Piers Morgan, a well-known royal journalist, has identified the two senior members of the royal family who are alleged to have made the racist comments about Archie's skin color. However, The Independent has chosen not to identify them. Morgan argued that if Dutch people can see these names in the book, then the British people who financially support the royal family should also be entitled to know. Scobie, the author of the book, denies specifically mentioning the names of the accused individuals in his work. He claims that the translation error in the Dutch version caused the issue.
The publisher of the book is working on rectifying the error. The allegations made by Meghan and Harry in their Oprah interview have reignited the discussion about race and bias within the royal family. The controversy surrounding "Endgame" raises questions about the balance between transparency and the monarchy's aversion to public scrutiny. The book itself offers critical insights into the royal family, portraying King Charles III and Prince William in a negative light.
It depicts William as a power-hungry heir to the throne, seeking to lead the monarchy in his own way, while Charles is seen as the head of an institution plagued by outdated ideas about race, class, and money. The withdrawal of "Endgame" from shelves has sparked renewed interest in the Oprah interview's claims and has thrust the issue of race within the royal family back into the spotlight. Readers and royal watchers eagerly await the revised edition to see how the contentious claims and potential revelations will be addressed.
