Queen Elizabeth’s Involvement in Royal Racism Row Unveiled by Omid Scobie
Renowned royal commentator Omid Scobie has recently brought Queen Elizabeth II into the spotlight of a royal racism controversy, shedding light on Meghan Markle's feelings of being insulted after being offered a black equerry.
This revelation comes as a shocking development in the ongoing saga surrounding the British royal family.
In his latest book “Endgame,” Omid Scobie suggests that palace aides made the decision to assign a Ghana-born Lieutenant-Colonel to assist Meghan Markle in an attempt to make her feel more at ease within the royal household.
However, instead of feeling comforted, the Duchess of Sussex reportedly found the appointment to be rather offensive.
The choice to appoint Lieutenant-Colonel Nana Kofi Tumusi-Onkra, the first black equerry to Queen Elizabeth, in 2017, coinciding with Harry and Meghan's engagement announcement, raised eyebrows and sparked discussions about diversity and inclusion within the palace walls.
According to Scobie, this move was likely a response to the lack of representation of black and other non-white individuals in key senior positions.
Initially, Meghan was assigned Lady Susan Hussey to guide her through her royal responsibilities.
Nevertheless, Meghan declined Lady Hussey's assistance, prompting palace officials to go to great lengths to accommodate the Duchess's preferences.
Eventually, Meghan was offered the guidance of Queen Elizabeth's equerry as a mentor, a decision that did not go unnoticed by Meghan and her inner circle.
Scobie's revelations are just the tip of the iceberg in a series of explosive claims made in his controversial book “Endgame.”
The book has caused a stir within the royal family, with reports suggesting that senior royals were implicated in discussions regarding Prince Archie's skin color.
The aftermath of these revelations has led to the palace engaging in crisis talks and exploring various options to address the fallout from Scobie's disclosures.
The implications of Scobie's claims have reverberated throughout the royal establishment, raising questions about the palace's handling of diversity and inclusion issues.
As the public awaits further developments in this unfolding saga, the royal family finds itself embroiled in yet another contentious chapter, with no clear resolution in sight.
The intricate web of relationships and dynamics within the royal household continues to unravel, exposing tensions and conflicts that have long been simmering beneath the surface.
