In a recent book, titled Endgame, Omid Scobie has inadvertently shed light on a discriminatory row involving Meghan Markle and the Queen’s equerry.

Scobie suggests that Meghan was insulted when offered guidance from a colored equerry, despite expressing her disinterest in receiving help from “old white women.”

The revelation has sparked controversy and raised questions about the lack of diversity within the palace staff.

According to Scobie, the suggestion to appoint the Ghana-born Lieutenant-Colonel Nana Coffey as Meghan’s advisor stood out prominently in his book’s UK edition.

This proposal came after Meghan had expressed her dissatisfaction with offers of assistance from Sophie or Susan Hussey.

Palace aides claimed to have gone to great lengths to make Meghan feel comfortable at Buckingham Palace, leading to the consideration of Coffey as a potential mentor for her.

However, Meghan and her friends were taken aback by this suggestion.

It highlighted the absence of black or non-white individuals, particularly women, in senior roles within the palace.

The fact that they had to turn to the Queen’s attendant for guidance was seen as a glaring indication of this disparity.

Comparisons were drawn to Kate, who allegedly was not offered such assistance.

Royal expert Ingrid Seward, however, countered Scobie’s account, stating that Meghan had been offered Lady Susan Hussey before Coffey.

Seward questioned Meghan’s expectations for her support system, suggesting that she may have preferred someone other than an equerry or lady-in-waiting.

Additionally, Meghan seemed reluctant to accept help from experienced individuals of color, while readily utilizing connections from her white father, ex-husband, a Soho House acquaintance, and her current husband.

Meghan’s rejection of Coffey’s assistance due to his race has drawn criticism.

Describing him as standing out like a sore thumb is seen as derogatory and insulting to someone with ten years of experience as an equerry.

It appears that Meghan was constantly searching for reasons to be offended, and his ethnicity became the basis for putting his name forward in the first place.

Lieutenant-Colonel Coffey, who served as the escort commander at Prince William and Catherine Middleton’s wedding, held a significant role during the Queen’s birthday celebrations as the commander of the Blues and Royals.

His appointment as an equerry was considered a promotion from these previous positions.

Equerries are highly regarded as one of the most important and senior roles within the royal household.

Meghan’s dismissal of Coffey’s assistance reflects her ignorance and classism, further fueling allegations of bullying against her.

It is evident that Meghan’s discontent with the palace staff extends beyond her issues with Coffey.

Her rejection of experienced individuals and her tendency to twist situations to portray herself as a victim highlight her underlying issues with ethnicity.

This incident has inadvertently dragged Coffey into a storm created by Scobie and Meghan, tarnishing the reputation of a man with a distinguished career and a place of honor in the Queen’s service.

In conclusion, Scobie’s book inadvertently exposed Meghan’s dissatisfaction with the lack of diversity within the palace staff and her rejection of the Queen’s equerry based on his race.

The incident has raised concerns about Meghan’s attitude towards experienced individuals and her willingness to play the victim card.

Lieutenant-Colonel Coffey’s involvement in this controversy highlights the need for greater inclusivity and respect within the royal household.
