The scandal surrounding Omid Scobie’s book being withdrawn from stores

Following the position Omid Scobie has taken since the release of Finding Freedom, based on the Prince Harry And Meghan MarkleIt was known that his new release Endgame would be very controversial. When the first fragments became known, it was clear which direction the information would take, but no one expected what would happen in any of the translations of the book. In the publication, Scobie once again removes the situations expressed by the Sussexes, without leaving a single royal without any reproach or reproach. The strange thing is that he has decided to go further and even return to some topics that the couple has tried to distance themselves from. Although the author has emphasized that this is not a book about Harry and Meghan, the anecdotes told have a clear line and the unfounded attacks on the rest of the royals have been widely criticized, especially in Britain where the cruelty is not understood this book. While the book has already made waves – and not in a good way – what happened has left more than one open-mouthed. Scobie was known to come back to the accusation of a question about Archie’s skin color. Although it was Meghan who revealed it to Oprah, Harry distanced himself from his own mouth and pointed out that it was never a racist comment. It is important to remember that Harry and Meghan themselves never spoke about the issue again, neither in their Netflix documentary nor in the book Spare, making it clear that they wanted to put the matter behind them. But not only did Scobie mention it again in the book, but the translation made in the Netherlands also mentions two names of royals who are said to have taken part in the conversation. This meant that all the copies had to be collected and that Scobie had to go out to deal with the situation, ensuring that he never mentioned the people who appeared in the letter.

What happened to Endgame?

It is known that when Scobie addressed this issue in the book, he indicated that he was not allowed to mention the names due to British libel laws – apparently with a view to a possible lawsuit, suggesting that the compilation of this information was It is difficult to have evidence that could corroborate the statements in court if necessary – but in the Dutch translation two people are mentioned in two different fragments. In the first Dutch-language copies sent to the Dutch press, these names were revealed, but the matter is so sensitive that even the British tabloids that show pictures of the book have decided to omit the names, which is the matter The veracity of these accusations becomes even more doubtful.

Of particular note, Scobie points out in the book that the information comes from private correspondence between the royals, which raises two questions: Would a topic like this be discussed in writing? And if so, how would he gain access to the private letters he refers to?

Faced with this situation, Scobie initially assured through his social networks that he had not written the names anywhere in the book. Just this morning, in an interview with Dutch television, he calmly pointed out that it was a translation error: “This book is available in several languages, unfortunately I don’t speak Dutch.” But if there are translation errors, I’m sure that the publisher has this under control. I wrote and edited the English version. “There was never a version I produced that had names on it,” he told RTL Boulevard.

Why remove a topic that Sussex itself hasn’t addressed again?

In an interview with GMA3, Scobie was asked about the topic, to which he replied: “I’ve always wondered why Harry and Meghan didn’t continue the conversation in the Netflix series or in Harry Spare’s book.” “It was as if “It had disappeared and I wanted to get to the bottom of it.”

It must be remembered that Prince Harry, in the first person, strongly denied any signs of racism from his family. In the interview with Tom Bradby, Harry was seen particularly defensive when the journalist asked him about Meghan’s statements to Oprah and used the word racism in his question: “No, we didn’t.” That’s what the British press said. Did Meghan ever mention that they were racist?” Bradby replied that he had said there were sensitive comments, to which Harry continued: “That there were concerns about the color of his skin.” The journalist asked the prince if he didn’t essentially think of that as would describe racism.

Harry said, “I wouldn’t do that. No, I lived in this family. To recap: I know from personal experience that the difference between racism and unconscious bias are two different things. Once it is recognized or brought to your attention as an individual or institution that you have an unconscious bias, making you part of the solution and not part of the problem. “Otherwise, unconscious bias falls into the category of racism,” which should be understood to mean that positive, not negative, steps were taken in this case.
