Omid Scobie’s ‘Endgame’ sparks fresh racism scandal, prompts royal expert to predict family reconciliation efforts
In the wake of the controversy surrounding Omid Scobie’s book, ‘Endgame,’ Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are speculated to be seeking reconciliation with the royal family ahead of Christmas. The book, released in November, promised to unveil the inner workings of the royal family but instead engulfed them in a fresh racism scandal.
The Dutch language edition of ‘Endgame,’ circulated to journalists in the Netherlands, alleged that Kate Middleton and King Charles had voiced concerns about the skin color of Meghan and Harry’s children. Although Scobie initially denied including such claims, he later admitted they were present in an “early” edition of the book.
While sources dismiss the rumors as “wildly inaccurate,” the fallout has strained the couple’s ties with King Charles and Prince William. In response to the situation, Tom Quinn, an experienced royal expert, suggests that Harry and Meghan may make efforts to mend relations with their British family before Christmas.
Quinn notes that Harry, realizing the importance of his ties to the royal family, may attempt to patch up the relationship, acknowledging that he needs them more than they need him. Despite spending the last four Christmases in California, the expert believes the recent controversy may prompt Harry and Meghan to extend olive branches to their extended family.
The controversy has reminded Harry of the status and global audience perception of Kate and William, who still outrank him. Quinn speculates that Charles may use this Christmas to emphasize his close relationship with his future heir.

Quinn predicts that the royal family will strategically showcase William, Kate, and their children during the Christmas holidays to ensure their visibility and maintain a positive public image. Charles, in particular, may aim to convey a strong relationship with at least one of his sons and his daughter-in-law during the festive season.
Tom Quinn’s insights are based on conversations with sources close to the palace, and he draws from his extensive experience as a royal expert and author of books on royal scandals and affairs.
