Royal Family Denies Involvement in Racist Leak Amidst Renewed Controversy
The royal family is once again at the center of controversy as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry vehemently deny any involvement in a recent leak regarding racist comments within the firm.
The issue was reignited by Omid Scobie's Dutch translation of “Endgame,” which named two members of the royal family alleged to have made disparaging remarks about the skin color of Prince Archie.
Sources close to the Sussexes have expressed their dismay over the racial controversy engulfing the royal family.
Meghan and Harry never intended for the individuals to be named and have described the situation as incredibly unfortunate, according to a source cited by the Sunday Mirror.
The same source asserted that the names were not leaked to Scobie by anyone within Meghan's circle.
During their interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan previously disclosed a conversation in which a senior royal expressed concerns about how dark Archie's skin would be.
Buckingham Palace later released a statement emphasizing the potential for differing recollections of the event.
Despite the ongoing controversy, the royal family appears to be maintaining a business-as-usual approach.
Queen Camilla, in her role as Colonel-in-Chief of the Rifles, attended a regimental awards dinner at the Guildhall in the City of London, while the Prince and Princess of Wales made a public appearance at the Royal Variety performance at the Royal Albert Hall.
Insiders suggest that the firm is rising above the turmoil, with the royal family carrying on with their engagements.
However, Omid Scobie found himself addressing the situation as he continued to promote his book.
Expressing his hurt and frustration over the recent events, Scobie clarified that he does not feel the need to apologize and is eager to uncover the truth behind the leak.
Scobie has attributed the controversy to a translation error and revealed that an investigation is currently underway to determine the source of the leak.
Despite the challenges faced, the royal family remains steadfast in their commitments and duties.
