Meghan and Harry under intense fire amid their ever-changing royal race row story
MEGHAN and Harry have come under intense fire amid their ever-changing royal race row story.
It comes after their favourite author appeared to name a second so-called racist in his new book.
Omid Scobie has now suggested two people raised “concerns” about their baby Archie’s skin colour.
Identities appear in a Dutch edition of his book Endgame.
Scobie, 42, has denied he even put the two names — supposedly contained in private letters between Meghan and the King — in any manuscript.
But he is set to explain himself with interviews on the BBC and ITV’s This Morning today.

Buckingham Palace staff are wondering what account the Sussexes and Scobie will come up with next.
Sources say aides are unsure how to react because the story keeps changing.
Questions are also being raised over the future of Endgame — which topped bestseller lists when it was published on Tuesday.
Hours after it hit bookshelves it emerged a so-called “royal racist” was named in a paragraph in the Dutch edittion.

Further inspection of the book showed a second name appear in later chapters of the Dutch version which does not marry up with the English language one.
Last night a spokesman for publisher Xander Uitgevers said it was removing Dutch copies and a “rectified” edition of Endgame will appear in shops there tomorrow.
Scobie initially defended his work, appearing on Dutch TV to say: “The book is in several languages, and unfortunately I do not speak Dutch.
“But if there are translation errors, I’m sure the publishers will have under control.
“I wrote and edited the English version.
“There’s never been no version that I’ve produced that has names in it.”
There has been no confirmation that the names of the “royal racists” in the Dutch version are the same ones contained in the King and Meghan’s letters.
Last night, sources close to the named individuals did not want to respond.
Initially it seemed Meghan, 42, accused one person of making “comments” about Archie’s skin colour.
But The Sun revealed on Saturday that Endgame would say that she had accused two people.
In Scobie’s English version, he writes that Charles had “reached out” to Meghan in written correspondence after the bombshell claim.
He writes: “But in pages of these private letters, two identities were revealed.
“Laws in the United Kingdom prevent me from reporting who they were.”
However, on page 128 of the Dutch edition, it reads: “But in those private letters an identity was revealed and confirmed.”
Then a passage on page 334 of the Dutch version reads: “Even after Meghan and Charles by letter discussed the probably unconscious bias within the family, after it was revealed that (name) and (name) took part in such conversations about Archie, (name) has avoided discussing the subject.”
Shocked to the core
The world and Royal Family were shocked to the core when Meghan first made the race claim in 2021.
The late Queen Elizabeth responded to the accusation saying while “recollections may vary” it will be investigated and “addressed privately”.
Even the Sussexes’ account at the time was hit by accusations of inconsistencies.
Meghan said there were “several conversations about it” with Harry when she was pregnant.
While Harry, 39, said any conversation happened before they were married.
The couple said they would never reveal the identity because it would be “very damaging to them”.
But Oprah Winfrey revealed off-screen they confessed it was not the late Queen or Prince Philip — narrowing the list of potential royals.
Sensationally, two years after letting the world believe there was a racist in the royal ranks, Harry claimed they never accused anyone of racism after all.
Promoting his memoir Spare, Harry told his journalist pal Tom Bradby in an interview it was “unconscious bias” and that he would “never talk about” who made the alleged comments.
Months later, The Telegraph revealed the King and Meghan had discussed the issue in private letters and a name had been mentioned.
But Scobie’s Endgame now alleges there were two.
The author and Harry and Meghan previously denied any collusion with his book Finding Freedom three years ago.

But a High Court case later heard that Meghan and Harry used their press secretary to brief favourable anecdotes to Scobie.
A spokesman for Buckingham Palace has declined to comment.
