The monarch's top aides will convene to devise a strategy to address the potentially detrimental aftermath stemming from the publication of ‘Endgame'.

The book disclosed that two prominent royals had made comments about the potential skin color of Prince , the firstborn of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, before his birth.

The identities of the two royals mentioned in Scobie's book have not been revealed by The Daily Express, although they were disclosed in the initial Dutch editions of the book released last week.

Discussions between the two royal households will focus on formulating a response, with officials emphasizing the need for cautious deliberation before any decisions are taken.

Despite this, palace sources affirm that all options, including legal action against the author, are being considered, as Scobie has been previously labeled as Meghan's spokesperson.

While residing in California, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have refrained from commenting on the controversy despite mounting pressure to address Scobie's revelations.

Friends of the Duchess have clarified that she never intended for the names in the letters to be publicly disclosed, refuting claims of any deliberate leaking of information.

However, a source close to the royal family has urged Harry and Meghan to address the issue publicly, highlighting their silence as conspicuous given their past grievances about lack of support against negative media coverage.

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson dismissed allegations of racism, suggesting that questioning a baby's skin color is a natural curiosity rather than a discriminatory act.
