The Dutch version of Omid Scobie’s newly released book, Endgame, allegedly names two senior royals who were involved in a conversation about the color of Prince Archie’s skin before his birth.
However, the Daily Express has made the decision not to publish their names.
Royal author Scobie, who claims he had no involvement in the error, states that the names were never included in the manuscript he sent to the publisher.
Sources close to the Sussexes have revealed that Meghan and Harry did not leak the names to Mr. Omid Scobie, and they never intended for them to become public knowledge.
The Mirror reports that an insider stated, “This is truly incredibly unfortunate, there’s no upside here for anyone.”
Another source close to Meghan insisted that she never intended for the names to be publicly identified, and it was not leaked to Scobie by anyone in her camp.
Meanwhile, aides from the royal family have insisted that it will be business as usual next week.
Events such as a glittering ceremony at Buckingham Palace and a charity carol concert at Westminster Abbey are still scheduled to take place.
On Tuesday, the King and Queen, alongside Prince William and Princess Kate, will host an annual reception for 500 diplomats at the palace.
Sources have mentioned that these events will showcase the royals at their very best, rising above the bombshells presented in the book.
Amidst calls for the Sussexes to address the racism row, Meghan and Harry have chosen to remain silent on the issue.
A source close to the royal family claims that their silence speaks volumes.
According to the Telegraph, sources close to Meghan maintain that she never intended for the names to be publicly identified and denies any involvement in leaking the information to Omid Scobie.
However, another insider close to the royal family suggests that the couple’s silence is particularly significant, considering their previous complaints about the firm’s lack of response to negative press.
The Dutch edition of Endgame was swiftly removed from shelves, with the publisher attributing the incident to a translation error.
Scobie himself denies any responsibility and refuses to apologize for the scandal during his appearance on Newsnight.
He asserts that the book he edited and signed off on did not contain the names in question.
