Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have seemingly moved on from the "racist royal" scandal after mentioning it in an interview, which confused the author of the newly released book, "Endgame."

Royal correspondent and author Omid Scobie appeared on "GMA 3" to discuss his new book. During the interview, he admitted that he "had always wondered why" the royal couple failed to mention the issue in their Netflix docuseries and Prince Harry's memoir, "Spare."

"Listen, there are many people that argued, 'It's normal to have conversations about what a child might look like at birth.' But I think the problematic term that Meghan raised was that there were 'concerns' over the color of Archie's skin," Scobie said, per Daily Mail.

"I always wondered why Harry and Meghan didn't continue that conversation in the Netflix series and in Harry's book 'Spare.' It was like it disappeared out of sight, and I wanted to get to the bottom of that."

In Prince Harry's interview with ITV's Tom Bradby in January ahead of the release of his memoir, "Spare," he denied that they called the royal family racist. Instead, he pointed out the "difference between racism and unconscious bias."

In "Endgame," Scobie recounted the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, where they mentioned a member of the royal family who allegedly raised concern over their then-unborn child's skin color. He claimed that King Charles III and Markle exchanged "respectful" letters about it but still do not "see eye to eye" on the issue up "to this day."

Scobie also mentioned in the book that Markle named two individuals who made comments on her son's complexion. It's unclear if the second person is a member of the royal family or someone who works for them. However, the palace was quick to deny the claim.

"It was only one person, never two," the palace said in a statement to Page Six.

Scobie didn't name the "racist royal" in his book due to the laws of the United King that "prevent [him] from reporting who they were." However, the name was inadvertently disclosed in Dutch copies of the controversial royal biography.

Xander Publishers confirmed Tuesday that it halted sales of the book in Holland after receiving a request from the United States. The publishers aren't sure when they will resume selling the book.

"I can't talk about the details," a spokesperson for the publishing house told Daily Mail. "We have, however, received a request to put the title on hold, and that is what we have done. We are awaiting further instructions. I do not know how long this will be."

"Endgame" was released Tuesday.
