The Story Behind How The Names Of The Alleged Racist Comment Makers In The Royal Family Broke Big Thanks To A Dutch Translation

Meghan Markle on Harry & Meghan trailer.

Due to a Dutch publishing snafu, the names of the alleged racist comment makers in the Royal Family broke big. Earlier this week, there was talk about how Omid Scobie’s book Endgame referenced two people Meghan Markle allegedly named in a letter to King Charles about people who were reportedly making comments about the color of her and Prince Harry’s son’s skin color. Now, due to this translation mistake, there are names attached to these comments.

Obviously, the names are not confirmed, and in the other translations of the book, the people Meghan Markle was allegedly referring to are not specified. They are simply named as members of the Royal Household. This Dutch version of the book names King Charles and Kate Middleton as the two who made the comments the Duchess of Sussex spoke about during her and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021. When the news broke, it spread like wildfire and quickly went viral.
