"You're entitled to know": Piers Morgan reveals names of "royal racists"
Piers Morgan has revealed the names of the senior royal family members who allegedly made "racist" comments about baby Archie's skin colour.
Mystery has surrounded the new royal family exposé Endgame, written by Omid Scobie, after he claimed to know which royals allegedly made the comments when Meghan Markle was pregnant with her first child.
Then, in a Dutch translation of the book being sold in The Netherlands, the names were accidentally printed in an "error", but kept out of the press for legal reason.
But now, controversial British journalist Piers Morgan has revealed the names that feature in the translated book, which is quickly being cleared from shelves, saying people have the right to know.
On Wednesday’s episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, the British broadcaster revealed the names of the two royals who allegedly had “concerns” about baby Archie's skin tone, although saying he doesn't believe any such comments were made.
He explained to his viewers that he doesn’t “believe any racist comments were ever made by any of the royal family,” he felt that his fellow citizens had a right to know information that only a handful of readers from another country were inadvertently privy to.
“Frankly, if Dutch people wandering into a bookshop can pick it up and see these names, then you — the British people here, who actually pay for the British royal family — you’re entitled to know, too.”
According to news.com.au and Page Six, Morgan said the names are King Charles III and Princess Kate Middleton.
Despite Morgan's claims, Page Six has been unable to verify which names were accidentally revealed.
Given the controversy surrounding the book, Xander Publishers announced that it received a request from the United States to abruptly halt sales of the book.
“I can’t talk about the details,” a spokesperson for the publishing house said in a statement.
“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.”
