ROYAL RIFT
THE TWO royals who made comments about Archie's skin colour have been revealed in letters between Meghan Markle and King Charles, Omid Scobie has claimed.
Prince Harry and Meghan sparked a race row by alleging an unnamed member of the Royal Family spoke about their son's skin colour during an interview with Oprah Winfrey.

But royal author Omid Scobie’s book Endgame claims that Meghan named two members of the Royal Household she says took part in the “conversations” in private letters she wrote to the King.
In an interview with Good Morning ahead of the book’s release tomorrow, he said: “I do know who made the comments about Archie's skin colour.
“The names were mentioned in letters between Meghan and Charles that were exchanged some time after the Oprah interview.
“We know from sources that Charles was horrified that that's how Meghan felt. Those conversations were, and that he wanted to, sort of as a representative for the family, have that conversation with her.

“And it is why I personally think they have been able to move forward with some kind of line of communication afterwards. Though they may not see eye to eye on it.'
It comes as the book is being criticised for its long list of discrepancies.
Chief among them is its claim Princess Diana died in a car crash in Paris in 1997 because her driver was blinded by a “major white flash” from a chasing photographer’s camera.
The book states that Diana's chauffeur Henri Paul was blinded by a "major white flash" from a paparazzi photographer on an overtaking motorbike.

It then goes on to say he lost control at sixty-five miles per hour and collided with a concrete pillar.
This theory was a key part of Mohamed Fayed’s conspiracy claims that Diana and his son Dodi were murdered as part of an Establishment plot ordered by Prince Philip.
Al Fayed said secret service agents blinded the Mercedes's driver, Paul, with a flash gun and it was part of the conspiracy to make the crash look like an accident.
French authorities and former Met Police chief Lord Stevens dismissed the suggestion.
The new book goes on to claim that both William and Harry believe the police inquest into their mother’s death – which puts much blame on Henri Paul for drunk driving – was a “joke.”
Endgame also claims the Palace lied by saying Camilla would not be Queen - despite Queen Elizabeth II saying it was her “sincere wish” in 2020.
Scobie also states the Royal Household’s diversity drive is a PR stunt.
But Prince Charles hired Colleen Harris, whose family are from Guyana, as press secretary in 1998 and British-Nigerian Eva Omaghomi as community engagement chief in 2021.
The book also says Charles did not try to fix his relationship with Harry after Megxit — even though Harry was invited to his Coronation.
Harry also turned down an offer to spend the anniversary of the Queen's death at Balmoral with his dad earlier this year.
