Racists at the Windsor court, the detective story from the Dutch edition (already withdrawn): «It's Charles and Kate»
An editorial incident that raises a fuss. But it could also just be a publicity stuntThe shadow of suspicion is growing over King Charles III and the future Queen Kate due to accusations of racism at court. In fact, according to what emerges in a clandestine version of Endgame, a book with dozens of burning backstories for the British monarchy just released on the world market , the two of them would be the protagonists of the inappropriate comments on the skin color of Archie, Harry and Meghan's firstborn.
The new all-English scandal arises from an unauthorized text, as claimed by the author Omid Scobie, biographer and friend of the Sussexes, who wrote the work in English: in the original edition only a vague reference is made to two members of the dynasty involved in the affair but without their names , for fear of legal consequences and possible defamation suits. And instead the identities were revealed only in the Dutch version of Endgame , which was urgently withdrawn from bookshops in the Netherlands due to the decision of the publisher Xander who spoke of "a translation error".
This was revealed by Dutch journalist and royal expert Rick Evers, who, having received a preview copy of "Eindstrijd" , published the offending passages on his X profile . "Charles" is referred to as the person who, when he was still heir to the throne, discussed the color of his nephew's skin even before his birth, while Kate was present during the conversation and would have listened and echoed the comments.
The case was raised by Harry and Meghan in 2021 during their controversial interview with Oprah in the US after the traumatic break from the royal family following the two's decision to move to California in 2020 . Later it was only clarified that it was not Queen Elizabeth or her husband Philip, both deceased.
The editorial incident, according to the suspicion raised by the more pro-monarchist British press, would be nothing more than a promotional stunt orchestrated by the author to increase sales.
