Presenter Piers Morgan revealed on Britain’s Talk TV on Wednesday evening the identities of the two members of the royal family whose names were accidentally published in the Dutch version of a new book about the Windsors.
In a lengthy monologue, the journalist, accustomed to controversy, made his case and argued that the British public, which is involved in financing the royal family, had a right to know what was brought to the attention of readers in the Netherlands become .
He further ruled that the disclosure of these names was intended to enable “open debate.”
In response, a Buckingham source told AFP: “We are considering all options.”
According to the Daily Telegraph, the palace is considering legal action.
During an event interview with Oprah Winfrey a year after their sensational departure to the United States in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex claimed that when Meghan was pregnant, a member of the royal family asked about the color of their son Archie’s skin.
They clarified that it was neither the Queen nor her husband Prince Philip.
That interview had sparked a lively debate in the United Kingdom about racism in the country, questioning tabloids’ attitudes toward Meghan, who is of mixed race, and urging Buckingham Palace to respond on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II.
“Even though the memories may be different, they are taken very seriously,” the ruler indicated afterwards, adding that she wanted to treat them “privately”.
Earlier this year, Prince Harry denied making accusations of racism but spoke of “unconscious bias.”
In his book, Omid Scobie, who is known to be close to Harry and Meghan, talks about two people who were involved in the conversations about Archie’s skin color, but assured that they did not appear in any version of his text in English.
