Back in 2021. A year after their departure from the British royal family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle gave a shocking interview to Oprah Winfrey, in which the Duchess of Sussex had not only expressed his discomfort during his visit to the Courtbut also and mostly, racist remarks that she had heard within the Royal Household. As a reminder, the former Hollywood actress explained that some people were worried about what skin tone Prince Archie would have when born. Comments which shocked the planet, and forced Buckingham Palace and Elizabeth II to react.
If, at the time, Elizabeth II had simply commented that: “Memories can deceive us”Meghan Markle did not give up and sent several letters to her father-in-law, Charles III, then Prince of Wales. And it is precisely these writings that Omid Scobie mentioned in Endgame. According to the Briton, the Duchess of Sussex, in these famous letters, would have named two members of the Royal Household, attributing to them the racist comments that we know.

Who was Meghan Markle talking about?
If Omid Scobie in Endgame mentions that the letters exchanged between Meghan Markle and Charles III are explicit, however, this does not reveal the identity of the people accused by the Duchess of Sussex. According to the journalist’s comments reported by our colleagues at Sun, a British law would prevent it. All we know, is that these two people belong to the Royal Household, which could just as easily apply to the Windsors as to the people who work for themlike the great officers of the House, namely the Lord Steward, the Lord Chamberlain and the Master of the Horse. In any case, Omid Scobie’s new book promises to reignite tensions between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family, while the youngest of Charles III seemed to be working towards a lull. Barring a miracle, the possibility of a family reunion around Christmas dinner at Sandringham seems to be fading away day by day.
