UNITED IN FURY

THE furore surrounding Omid Scobie’s book about Harry and Meghan reached fever pitch last night after the King and the Princess of Wales were named as the royals at the centre of racist claims. 

Insiders told how the Royal Family was furious at explosive allegations that the pair made comments about the skin colour of Harry and Meghan’s unborn son, Archie.

And as the scandal threatened to spark a constitutional crisis, a row broke out about how the names ended up being published “in error” in the Dutch version of Endgame.

A Palace source said: “The entire Royal Family is united in outrage over this whole episode where members of the family have been unfairly named in this way.

“There is absolute and unequivocal denial that anything said by the two persons named publicly was said, or even could be considered to be said, in a racist manner. How much more should they take?

“This is an outrageous smear that started with the Oprah [Winfrey] interview and now has blown up into another stratosphere.”
