NextImg:‘Racist’ royal finally exposed after Meghan Markle’s bombshell claims

The royal family member that allegedly expressed “concern” over Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s son Archie’s skin color has finally been exposed — in Dutch copies of a new book.

Omid Scobie’s biography, “Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival,” was quickly yanked from stores in Holland as publisher Xander looks into next steps.

“I can’t talk about the details,” a spokesperson for the publishing house told the Daily Mail on Tuesday.

“We have, however, received a request to put the title on hold, and that is what we have done,” the rep continued. “We are awaiting further instructions. I do not know how long this will be.”

Scobie, 42, claims he did not identify the person who made the racist comments in the original edition of the book due to libel laws, according to the outlet.

However, a page taken from a review copy of the book sent to Dutch journalists appears to list the person’s identity.

Additionally, Scobie claims in his book that a second person shared the same concern about the little one.

The Post has contacted reps for the Duchesses, Scobie, Xander and Buckingham Palace for comment.

Markle first made the shocking allegations during the couple’s interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.  

At the time, the “Suits” alum, 42, claimed that Archie would not have a royal title and that they wouldn’t be entitled to security.

Winfrey asked if Markle thought that was “because of his race” — and Markle appeared to agree.

The former actress, who is biracial, then alleged that there were “several” conversations with an unidentified family member about the color of Archie’s skin.

“About how dark your baby is going to be?” Winfrey, 69, asked in disbelief.

“Potentially, and what that would mean or look like,” Markle claimed.

Harry, 39, backed up his wife’s claims, telling Winfrey: “That conversation I am never going to share, but at the time it was awkward. I was a bit shocked.”

Days after the televised sit-down, Prince William defiantly said “we are very much not a racist family” when a Sky News reporter asked him about the bombshell claims.

When asked if he had spoken to his younger brother about the interview, he added: “No, I haven’t spoken to him yet, but I will do.”

The Duke of Sussex later attempted to walk back his statements, emphasizing the royal family was “concerned,” but not racist in their conversations around Archie’s skin color.

Instead, he suggested that the remarks were actually an example of “unconscious bias” within the royal family.

“The difference between racism and unconscious bias . . . the two things are different,” Harry explained during an appearance on “Good Morning America” in January, while promoting his “Spare” memoir.

“Once it’s been acknowledged or pointed out to you as an individual, otherwise an institution, that you have unconscious bias, you, therefore, have an opportunity to learn and grow from that,” he continued. “Otherwise, unconscious bias then moves into the category of racism.”

Although the couple never disclosed who made the alleged remarks, Harry insisted it was not his late grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
