Meghan Markle, Prince Harry Urged To Speak Up After 'Endgame' Brings Back Racist Royal Scandal
Meghan Marke and Prince Harry are being urged to speak up about the racist royal scandal that resurfaced due to Omid Scobie's new book, "Endgame."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not involved in Scobie's publication but have received intense backlash from netizens claiming they collaborated with the author. Scobie has been dubbed Prince Harry and Markle's "mouthpiece." So, many are now urging the Sussexes to speak up and defend the royal family after the Dutch version leaked the names of the two alleged racist royals -- King Charles and Kate Middleton.
Daily Mail's Sarah Vine claimed that Prince Harry and Markle's silence "is effectively an endorsement as Omid Scobie's status as their 'unofficial mouthpiece." She also alleged that by keeping silent about the allegations against the royal family, the Sussexes seemed to endorse the malicious accusations against the royals in "Endgame."
Several netizens also called out Prince Harry and Markle on social media to address the issues in the controversial book and questioned their silence.
"The silence from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex is increasingly damning. They normally rush to denounce and sue anyone who reveals details of their private correspondence.. why is @scobie getting a pass for revealing such damaging information? Did they give it to him?" English broadcaster and journalist Piers Morgan wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
"Any normal person would denounce it immediately and refuse to have any association with it. The fact that they don't, speak volumes," another commented.
"If they 'don't denounce it ...they endorse it.' They won't denounce it because they wrote it. The thought that they could title the book 'Endgame' to end the RF is beyond absurd. Sadly, though some people might think KCIII said something inappropriate but 'endgame' it certainly is not," another royal supporter said.
Meanwhile, some defended Prince Harry and Markle. Their supporters said they didn't owe anyone any explanation since the royal family allegedly didn't stand up for them when the media targeted them.
"The royal family has been silent every time you've attacked Harry & Meghan, why should Harry & Meghan speak up for them?" one commented. Another added, "What I'm curious about is why this is the moment the entire British press seems to want Harry and Meghan to speak, when all they've wanted over the past 3 years, is for them to shut up?"
"Them: We want Harry & Meghan to SHUT UP! No, Seriously, Them as well: If Harry & Meghan don't speak up now to protect the Royals they are complacent," a third person opined with multiple rolling-on-the-floor laughing emojis.
"Why? I didn't see the royal family denouncing Tom Bower's book or Valentine Low's book, to name a few, both of which say they have a relationship with the royal family, so why should Harry do them a favor? Besides, if it's untrue, the royal family can always sue," another netizen suggested.
King Charles, Prince William and Kate Middleton haven't released any statements about the book. The royals were business as usual amid the controversy "Endgame" brought into the members of the firm.
His Majesty kicked off a visit to the United Arab Emirates for the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) Thursday. According to Daily Mail royal correspondent Rebecca English on X, King Charles said, "I'm all right very much," when asked how he was doing.
The Prince and Princess of Wales were also all smiles during a gathering at Windsor Castle in England with Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden. Kensington Palace tweeted a snap of the foursome where Middleton looked stunning in her elegant forest green dress.
