THE Royal Family is taking legal advice after two senior members at the heart of the Harry and Meghan row" were named on telly last night.

Piers Morgan announced the names on his TalkTV show after thousands of copies of a Dutch version of Endgame by Omid Scobie were pulled for identify those who allegedly expressed concern over Harry's son Archie's skin colour.

Royal sources revealed "utter dismay" at the heart of the monarchy after the names were plastered on social media, trending on X for hours yesterday. We have chosen not to name the pair.

Buckingham Palace is under-stood to be "considering all options", including legal action.

Scobie, who is due to give his first UK interview today on ITV's This Morning, has denied including the names, insisting he was not responsible for translated passages in foreign publications.

The author, often referred to as Meghan's pal", due to their relationship before the release of his book Finding Freedom about Harry and Meghan's departure from The Firm, said he knew the names, but legal restrictions in the UK barred him from publishing them.

He said: "Having only written and edited the English version of Endgame, I can only comment on that manuscript, which does not name the two individuals who took part in the conversation. I'm happy to hear that the error in the translation of the Dutch edition is being fixed."
