Piers Morgan defends decision to identify royals accused of racism
TV host Piers Morgan has spoken out in defense of his controversial decision to identify the two members of the royal family at the center of the recent racism accusations. Morgan claims that it was “blindingly obvious” that the accused royals were not guilty of racism.
The accusations stem from the recent Dutch translation of Omid Scobie’s book Endgame, in which two members of the royal family were identified as having raised questions about the skin color of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son, Archie, before he was born. King Charles and the Princess of Wales were named as the accused, sparking a heated debate and drawing the attention away from other pressing matters, including the fight against climate change.
The Sussexes, who first made the racism claims against the royal family in their 2021 interview with Oprah, have yet to speak out about the situation, leading to widespread criticism. A source close to the royal family has called on the Sussexes to defend their relatives, stating that their silence is “deafening.”
The Dutch version of Endgame containing the names of the accused royals was swiftly pulled from the shelves, with the publisher dismissing the edition as a “translation error.” However, author Omid Scobie has refused to apologize and insists that it was not for him to do so, as he still wants to know what had happened. According to Scobie, the book he edited and signed off on did not have names in it, implying that the names were included as an error in the Dutch translation.
As the controversy rages on and public interest continues to grow, many are left wondering why the Sussexes have remained silent on the matter, and why the accused royals have also not yet addressed the accusations.
The unfolding drama has shed a spotlight on author Omid Scobie, reigniting debates over the publication of controversial tell-all books and the potential implications of such works on those involved.
