Royal Family member ‘named as racist’ in translation of Omid Scobie’s Endgame as copies urgently pulled from shelves
Thousands of copies of the book have been ordered to be destroyed in the Netherlands
COPIES of Omid Scobie’s new book are urgently being pulled from the shelves as the Dutch translation “accidentally named” a member of the Royal Family implying they are the racist.
It appears the book named a Royal in error and was not naming the person Meghan claimed was the racist.

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey Prince Harry and Meghan sparked a race row by alleging an unnamed member of the Royal Family spoke about their son's skin colour.
And their Pal Omid Scobie's book Endgame claims that Meghan named two members of the Royal Household she says took part in the “conversations” in private letters she wrote to the King.
However, now thousands of copies of the books have been ordered to be destroyed in the Netherlands after a translation error meant a member of the Royal Family was wrongly named.
It comes after Scobie bragged about having the inside scoop about who the royal racist is.

In an interview with Good Morning he said: “I do know who made the comments about Archie's skin colour.
“The names were mentioned in letters between Meghan and Charles that were exchanged sometime after the Oprah interview.
“We know from sources that Charles was horrified that that's how Meghan felt. Those conversations were, and that he wanted to, sort of as a representative for the family, have that conversation with her.
“And it is why I personally think they have been able to move forward with some kind of line of communication afterwards. Though they may not see eye to eye on it.”

Meghan had told Oprah in March 2021 that the comments causing concern came up during "several conversations".
She declined to identify anyone, saying: "I think that would be very damaging to them."
Harry has denied the couple accused anyone in the royal family of "racism", while he was promoting his book Spare this year.
But he did suggest there had been "unconscious bias".
It comes as the book is being criticised for its long list of discrepancies.
Chief among them is its claim Princess Diana died in a car crash in Paris in 1997 because her driver was blinded by a “major white flash” from a chasing photographer’s camera.
The book states that Diana's chauffeur Henri Paul was blinded by a "major white flash" from a paparazzi photographer on an overtaking motorbike.
It then goes on to say he lost control at sixty-five miles per hour and collided with a concrete pillar.
This theory was a key part of Mohamed Fayed’s conspiracy claims that Diana and his son Dodi were murdered as part of an Establishment plot ordered by Prince Philip.
Al Fayed said secret service agents blinded the Mercedes's driver, Paul, with a flash gun and it was part of the conspiracy to make the crash look like an accident.
French authorities and former Met Police chief Lord Stevens dismissed the suggestion.
The new book goes on to claim that both William and Harry believe the police inquest into their mother’s death – which puts much blame on Henri Paul for drunk driving – was a “joke.”
Endgame also claims the Palace lied by saying Camilla would not be Queen - despite Queen Elizabeth II saying it was her “sincere wish” in 2020.
Scobie also states the Royal Household’s diversity drive is a PR stunt.
But Prince Charles hired Colleen Harris, whose family are from Guyana, as press secretary in 1998 and British-Nigerian Eva Omaghomi as community engagement chief in 2021.
The book also says Charles did not try to fix his relationship with Harry after Megxit — even though Harry was invited to his Coronation.
Harry also turned down an offer to spend the anniversary of the Queen's death at Balmoral with his dad earlier this year.
Endgame is Scobie’s second royal book after the author, dubbed “Meghan’s Cheerleader”, wrote the couple’s biography Finding Freedom two years ago.

Despite claims that the Sussexes had played no role in Finding Freedom, Meghan’s High Court case last year heard the couple had briefed favourable stories to Scobie via an aide.
A spokesman for the Dutch publisher told MailOnline "You are right but I can't talk about the details. We have, however, received a request to put the title on hold and that is what we have done."
