Meghan Markle has accused two royals of making racist comments about her son Archie in an explosive new book that is set to rock the royal family to the core.
Prince Harry and Meghan shocked the world when they sat down with Oprah Winfrey for a tell-all interview about their time in the royal family.
The couple alleged during the chat that an unnamed royal had concerns about ‘how dark’ Archie’s skin would be.
But royal author Omid Scobie whose new book Endgame comes out on Tuesday, says Meghan wrote to King Charles expressing concern about two royals who made the remarks.
The letters were sent in spring 2021 after she and Harry had sat down for their unprecedented interview with Oprah.
Charles is said to have wanted his return letters to express how he felt no ‘casual prejudice’ had been involved.
The names of the two accused royals have not been revealed in a leaked copy to The Sun.
Mr Scobie says he knows the names but ‘laws in the United Kingdom prevent me from reporting who they were’.
It is unclear if the second person is a royal themselves or a royal staff member, nonetheless they are a member of the royal household.
The bombshell book has been described on Amazon as a ‘penetrating investigation into the current state of the British monarchy’.
Endgame will also include claims that Meghan and Charles felt they had ‘both been heard’ after exchanging letters.
After their interview with Oprah, Harry claimed he did not label the royal family racist but of unconscious bias during an interview with ITV.
Harry was asked in the interview with Tom Bradby: ‘In the Oprah interview you accused members of your family of racism’, but Harry snapped back and said: ‘No I didn’t.’ He added: ‘The British press said that’.
Harry added: ‘The difference between racism and unconscious bias, the two things are different. But once it’s been acknowledged, or pointed out to you as an individual, or as an institution, that you have unconscious bias, you therefore have an opportunity to learn and grow from that in order so that you are part of the solution rather than part of the problem. Otherwise unconscious bias then moves into the category of racism.’
Archewell and Buckingham Palace has been contacted for comment.
