I Hear You're A Racist Now Highness!

Quote:
Buckingham Palace has said it is considering "all options" following the naming of two members of the Royal Family who allegedly spoke about the skin colour of Meghan and Harry's unborn child.

King Charles and the Princess of Wales were identified as the Royals who were alleged to have had conversations about Archie's skin colour in a new book which examines the fall-out of the Sussexes’ exit from the Royal Family.

The English version of Endgame, by Omid Scobie, does not name Harry’s father and sister-in-law, but copies translated into Dutch which went briefly on sale in the Netherlands did.

No evidence has been presented to back up claims the King and Princess had spoken in racist terms and even Prince Harry himself clarified in an ITV interview in January that he didn’t consider talk of Archie's skin colour by his family as “racist”.

Instead, the Prince told Tom Bradby during his publicity tour for his own book, Spare, that he thought his family had issues with “unconscious bias”.

Since the publication of Endgame earlier this week, there has been much speculation about the identity of the two Royals.

That's some heavy news.

This is no longer a story. People can move on now.

Ah, nothingburger, though, people love to bring up Royals, hoping for that a juicy scandal.

The Royals should just get Prince Andrew to take the heat for this. All future royal scandals should be attributed to "randy Andy".

Just throw him a few quid to keep his mansion running.

"Andy, we need a scape goat"!!
