Omid Scobie - Endgame.

Hmmmm! My mistake! Must proof read properly in future!

I love the thought of Catherine being a Steptoe wife 🤣🤣

I kept looking at that and thinking there was something wrong with it
Younger Steptoe had a certain charm 😁

Catherine is sneered at for being a hands on Mum!! Doesn't this person realise that being a good mother is actually to be applauded? She would soon be criticised if she weren't! A Steptoe wife? Didn't know they were sporty! This unwarranted vitriol aimed at Catherine will put the final nail in the coffin with regard to Montecito. Christmas at Sandringham??!! After this scribbling? Not now, not ever is my guess.

Well, I would think that they are the views of Scobie himself, not Meghan who appears to be a "hands-on" Mum too, if we believe what we are shown in publicity shots.

I would think it quite normal to wonder about skin colour if the parents have different skin colours, just as people wonder about hair and eye colours. Doesn’t mean anyone is being racist. We certainly wondered if our grandchild would inherit her dad’s hair colour.

I know context is everything but is it necessarily racist to wonder about the skin tone of a new baby. I am thinking of friends of mine who all discussed possible skin colour. They are black and white friends and the discussions were certainly not racist.

PS to my comment, the "alleged" Dutch version because I cannot verify.

I agree Sparklefizz H & M are endorsing this tripe book with their silence. A very cowardly way of sticking another knife into the back of H's family.

Was this an intentional slip up of course it was.

A translator of any standing wouldn’t have accidentally inserted the names of two senior royals into Me Scobie’s manuscript…

Is the other name actually mentioned though? I read the Dutch manuscript and only found the One, (though it was very late last night and I was half asleep).
I have been a translator of the written word in my time. This Dutch manuscript doesn't just have one slip up, i.e., the name, but all the matching pronouns around it too.

Indeed GG. I wonder if we will ever find out who arranged it.

I think it's better the name is now 'known'. Stops the constant speculation.

I definitely don't think they'll be invited for Xmas now!

.... or ever!!!

If the Sussexes don't come out against Endgame as they have with news articles they disagree with, then we can assume they condone what Scobie has said and may have provided him with much of the material.

Of course, he just may have made up the whole thing

I’m not interested in reading any of these books, firstly Spare or Endgame.
I think it’s appalling that anyone can cast all these accusations at one of the most biggest and important family being the Royal family, most of the mud-slinging is aimed at Charles, William and Kate. This should never be allowed for anyone such as Omid to have these so called books published.
Many people won’t give a damn either way for dirty washing to be aired in public however true or not. I think it’s terrible, leave our Royal Family alone.

I don't think they've been invited for Christmas. Apparently they said they'd come if asked 🙄

Can you imagine what a jolly gathering that would be? 😲

Is that a threat or a promise? 🤣🤣

Isn’t it possible it was innocent? Many grandparents talk about if the baby will have dads colour hair or mums nose.

I feel sorry for Archie. He's being used as a weapon to damage his paternal family.

Very odd. The alleged person is named on Google.

So the book has been withdrawn from bookshelves in the Netherlands, because when being translated one of the members of the RF who supposedly raised the matter of the colour of Archie's skin has been named.

Some translation to miraculously come up with a name that wasn't in the book to begin with .

Thank you Louella
