Almost three years ago, Meghan told Oprah Winfrey, without naming names, that senior members of the royal family had expressed “concerns” about the skin color of her and Harry’s son Archie before his birth.
The Sussexes suggested, and their supporters cried, that this proved that the House of Windsor was racist: that poor, biracial Meghan had been marginalized. The shocking allegations threatened to shake many people’s trust in the monarchy itself.
Thanks to her ridiculous mouthpiece Omid Scobie, who collaborated with her on his first book, Finding Freedom, we now know that Meghan also wrote a “private” letter to the royal expressing her concerns about alleged racism in the royal family family expresses.
In the Dutch translation of Scobie’s book Endgame, both the king himself and Kate are apparently described as so-called “royal racists”. Scobie insists he never named them, but Dutch translator Saskia Peeters insists the names were in the original manuscript she worked on: Fact.
Now we are faced with a puzzle. How did Scobie get the names of the “royal racists” when they appeared in Meghan’s “private” letter to Charles?

Now we are faced with a puzzle. How did Scobie get the names of the “royal racists” when they appeared in Meghan’s “private” letter to Charles?
Sources close to the Duchess insist that neither she nor her entourage handed Scobie the letter. So we can only speculate as to how on earth he managed to get it.
Whatever the truth, Meghan’s popularity is declining in America, despite her increasingly desperate efforts to reinvent herself. Last month, a Newsweek poll showed her falling to a rating of +10, while Kate is above her at +34.
Is it just a coincidence that a version of Scobie’s book brazenly attacks Kate as “the Stepford King’s part-time wife”? . . Katie Keen and worst of all, a racist – the most horrible insult you can say to someone?
Is it just a coincidence that the book also attacks the king, when everyone knows how sensitive the monarchy is to such cruel accusations?
Is there no end to the Sussexes’ vendetta and their endless denigration of the royal family?
Meghan would have dreamed of being a new Diana. But she’s nothing better than a cardboard cutout of the late princess.
All I know is that the more Meghan and her mouthpiece Scobie denigrate Kate, the more we love and want to protect the woman who will one day be our queen.
Pay for a reminder
How appalling that more than half of us deny our loved ones a proper funeral and consider a big send-off a waste of money.
My brother Michael’s and my parents’ funerals were joyful events celebrating a life well lived.
The sound of the lone bagpiper playing “Amazing Grace” as the coffins left the church was a constant and soothing refrain in her memory – and worth every penny.
Did I’m A Celebrity lose the plot by first paying Nigel Farage a record £1.5 million and then allegedly letting leftie producers cut his airtime because they don’t like his politics? Even Ant and Dec’s jokes can’t stop the show losing two million fans. I’m a spectator, get me out of here!
One of the worst Christmas presents is a can of WD-40: unfair, as the stuff can be very useful. My most disappointing gifts came from my former fiancée: extra thick, long thermal socks and a nose-shaped pencil sharpener that was clearly made from Barry Manilow’s giant schnoz. No wonder the engagement didn’t last.
Heidi’s girl has to build her own modeling career
Isn’t it a little creepy when Heidi Klum and her 19-year-old daughter Leni do a tiny lingerie shoot together?
We’re all for children following in their parents’ career footsteps – but isn’t it a little creepy when Heidi Klum and her 19-year-old daughter Leni do a tiny lingerie shoot together? It also seems a bit unfair to expect petite Leni to pursue a career as a model when her stately 50-year-old mother is still sensationally successful. Perhaps it’s best for Leni to stay true to her chosen career path: she’s studying interior design, not exterior design
Already mired in what I believe to be entirely justified accusations of anti-Israel bias, the BBC is now choosing Guz Khan to host the satirical comedy show Have I Got News For You. The comedian accuses the Jewish state of “war crimes” and “ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians.” The biggest joke of all is the “impartiality” of the BBC.

Julia Roberts showed up at the premiere of her latest film with skinny, bare legs and goosebumps. Now we know why one of the most beautiful women in the world chose a stunt double to shoot her pins in Pretty Woman.
Westminster Wars
- The death at the age of 70 of former chancellor Alistair Darling, a titan during the last Labor government, reminds us of the time when the country was ruled by politicians of principle, intelligence and integrity – as opposed to the pygmies we now face want to rule. The thought of robotic Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves following in Alistair Darling’s footsteps will make you cry.
- Shadow foreign secretary David Lammy says the European Union will be Labour’s number one foreign policy priority if they come to power. Meanwhile, EU politicians and officials describe the treatment of Keir Starmer as “like honey on toast”. As many feared: vote Labor and destroy the democratic will of 17 million people who voted for Brexit.
Finally, some good news: Newsnight, the wasteful BBC’s flagship political show, is to lose half of its whopping 60 staff and will be cut from 40 to 30 minutes. As an avid political junkie who, like millions of others, turned off Snoozenight long ago, I still think this is 29 minutes too long.
My bells will ring for Shane
Shane MacGowan’s ‘Fairytale Of New York’ is said to be the most played Christmas song – but surprisingly it never made it to number 1
Shane MacGowan’s ‘Fairytale Of New York’ is said to be the most played Christmas song – but surprisingly it never made it to number 1.
Now, following the death of The Pogues singer, the song he made a legend with Kirsty MacColl is topping the charts this year.
You can be sure that on Christmas Day the bells will be ringing for Shane in my house – and millions of others.
After 20 years of Top Gear and The Grand Tour, Jeremy Clarkson, 63, James May, 60, and Richard Hammond, 52, are handing back the keys to their hit shows. Aren’t they a little too young to slam the door? My father, an automotive journalist, was 70 when he quit the job he loved, saying it was like having his legs cut off.
Hamas claims its youngest hostage, 10-month-old Kfir Bibas, was killed along with his brother and mother in an Israeli strike. What a terrible world we live in when savages can kidnap a toddler and then blame others for his death.
Insulting the victims of the murderous nurse
Lucy Letby, the nurse serving a life sentence for murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six others, has been moved from a strict maximum security prison to a “comfortable”, privately run prison for her own protection, where she has a own bathroom and has a desk, telephone and television. Hardly a fitting punishment for a vile serial killer – and another dagger into the hearts of the families of the babies she murdered.
My darling Ted scorns a new survey that claims having a dog can save us from dementia. Apparently, walking with a pooch promotes social contact.
Ted says yes, but you have to wear poop bags to clean up the mess, they’re smelly and needy, whereas a cat is a constant calm companion that takes care of itself, loves unconditionally and most importantly purrs gently and doesn’t spends barking all day.
