In a compelling revelation, royal author Omid Scobie’s latest book, ‘Endgame,’ delves into the private correspondence between King Charles and Meghan Markle, shedding light on the monarch’s “real feelings” concerning Meghan’s accusations of racism within the royal family. According to excerpts published in The Sun, the book details Meghan’s naming of two royal household members involved in discussions about Archie’s skin color in private letters to Charles, following her revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey in spring 2021.

Scobie suggests that Meghan, in the letters, sought to address the issue within the royal institution, emphasizing the need for a candid discussion about unconscious bias. The book alleges that Charles, in March 2021, reached out to Meghan expressing sadness over the growing divide between the Sussexes and the royal family.
In response, Meghan reportedly identified the individuals who made remarks about Archie’s skin color, clarifying that she did not intend to accuse them of racism but wanted to highlight the presence of unconscious bias. Scobie’s book contends that Charles acknowledged Meghan’s concerns and defended the individuals in question, asserting that their actions were without malice.
According to reports by The Express, despite the warm tone of the correspondence, royal sources indicate that it did not lead to reconciliation between Meghan and Charles. The Duchess reportedly felt that the exchange did not adequately address her grievances regarding the perceived bullying and neglect her family experienced.
The allegations surface amid an ongoing debate over racism within the royal institution, sparked by Meghan’s Oprah interview where she declined to name the royal involved in the skin color remarks. Prince Harry later denied accusing his family of racism but acknowledged the presence of “unconscious bias.”
These revelations come at a critical juncture just weeks before King Charles’ coronation in May, which Meghan has decided not to attend. Royal experts warn that Scobie’s claims could further strain relations between the Sussexes and the royal family.
Scobie, co-author of the biography ‘Finding Freedom,’ has faced criticism for his proximity to the couple, but his access to private correspondence positions him as a key source of information on sensitive issues like race within the royal household.
While the contents of the letters remain confidential, Scobie’s reporting provides insight into Meghan’s private efforts to address concerns about bias and prejudice within the highest echelons of the royal institution. The palace’s public response to these revelations could significantly impact its efforts to change perceptions about diversity and inclusivity in the future.
As race continues to be a sensitive subject for the royals, these latest claims are likely to revive challenging questions about unconscious bias and Meghan’s experiences as the first mixed-race member of the modern royal family. Regardless of the validity of the allegations, they underscore a potential disconnect between the monarchy’s public commitment to diversity and the everyday experiences of ethnic minorities within palace walls.
Good old Maghan, at it again. Stiring up trouble. When will she let this go and let Harry “try” to make peace with his family. Ahe is such a control friek
