Piers Morgan alleged that in Dutch editions of the new book Endgame, King Charles III and Kate Middleton were implicated as the royal family members who made "racist" comments about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son, Archie. In the officially published version of the book, author Omid Scobie discussed how Meghan and Charles had addressed the issue of unconscious bias within the family, and how certain individuals had avoided engaging in conversations about Archie.

As per numerous reports, the Dutch edition of Endgame included printed names. During an episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored on November 29, 58-year-old Morgan expressed his belief that the British public, who financially support the royal family, deserve to know the alleged names printed in the Dutch version, which supposedly belong to Charles, 75, and Kate, 41.

Morgan clarified that he does not believe any racist comments were made by any member of the royal family. During an interview with ITV's This Morning on Thursday, November 30, Scobie denied ever disclosing the names in the first place.

He stated that he had not submitted a book containing those names and expressed his frustration with the ongoing controversy. We have contacted Scobie and the palace for comment.

This controversy started over two years ago during Meghan and Harry's CBS interview in March 2021. During the interview, Meghan, aged 42, mentioned a time during her first pregnancy when a member of the royal family voiced concerns about the potential skin color of the newborn.

Harry refused to share the details of the conversation, describing it as awkward and shocking. He clarified that it was not the late Queen Elizabeth II or Prince Philip who made the comment. Neither Meghan, 42, nor Harry, 39, have revealed the family member responsible for the alleged comment, and the palace has denied that the events occurred.

Buckingham Palace shared in a statement in March 2021 that the entire family is saddened to truly understand the extent of the challenges that Harry and Meghan have faced in recent years. The issues brought to light, especially those concerning race, are troubling. Despite possible variations in recollections, the family is taking them seriously and will address them privately. Harry, Meghan, and Archie will always be cherished as beloved family members. Prince William also shared his thoughts at the time.

"Are members of the royal family racist?" inquired a Sky News reporter. William's immediate response was, "We unequivocally reject any notion of racism within our family." Despite this, fans of the royals continue to seek out the identity of the individual responsible.

When Brothers and Wives: Inside the Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry and Meghan was published in November 2021, author Christopher Andersen stated that King Charles did comment on Archie's skin color.

"I wonder what the children will look like?" Charles reportedly inquired, according to the book. However, Anderson clarified that he was not the royal family member Meghan and Harry had mentioned in their previous interview.

Charles, for his part, denied the claim in a statement to We.

“This is fiction and not worth further comment,” the statement read.

In 2021, there was a lot of talk about comments regarding skin color. Earlier this year, Harry addressed the situation involving his son during the promotion of his memoir, "Spare." He did not view the comment as "racist," but rather as a learning opportunity. During a sit-down interview with ITV in January, he explained, "The difference between racism and unconscious bias is clear to me because of my own experiences. Once you acknowledge unconscious bias, you have the chance to learn and grow, becoming part of the solution instead of the problem."
