The writer of the royal book 'Endgame' has admitted he named two family members alleged to have voiced “concerns” about the skin colour of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s son in an earlier version of the text.
Omid Scobie said “early and uncleared text” was provided to a Dutch publisher with plans that its translation of the text “would be updated to reflect the final version of the book”.
Dutch copies of Endgame were pulled from the shelves in the Netherlands on publication day last week after they were found to have identified two individuals said to have questioned the skin tone of Prince Archie before he was born.
Xander Uitgevers, the publisher of the Dutch version, said in a statement that a translation error had occurred.
In the versions of Endgame being sold in English-speaking countries, Scobie states: “Laws in the United Kingdom prevent me from reporting who they were.”
When the controversy surrounding the Dutch version of the book first emerged, Scobie had denied ever naming the royals alleged to have made the comments.
TalkTV’s Jeremy Kyle and Nicola Thorp are joined by TalkTV royal editor Sarah Hewson to discuss the story.
