Queen Elizabeth II’s former Press Secretary Dickie Arbiter has warned King Charles of reuniting with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, following the release of Omid Scobie’s latest book, Endgame.
The new royal autobiography, released across the world on Tuesday, has launched a new set of scathing attacks on the Royal Family and has been widely criticised by royal experts.
In his book, Omid Scobie suggests “two members of the royal household” expressed concern about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son Archie’s skin colour while Meghan was pregnant.
The accusation was first brought to light in 2021, when Meghan told Oprah Winfrey in the couple’s bombshell interview that “one” member of the royal family had sparked the conversation about their unborn child.

In the English publication of Endgame, the identities of the royals is not revealed. But the Dutch translated books have included a passage which reveals the names of the accused.
Publisher Xander Uitgevers has blamed a “mistake in the translation” and ordered the book to be removed from shelves.
Reacting to the claims, Arbiter said he “doesn’t believe” the allegations made against the Royal Family.
Arbiter stated: “He’s got a beef against the Prince of Wales, he’s got a beef against the King, and he’s going to say anything in order to make the point that they are not very nice people.”
There has also been speculation about the possible involvement of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in Scobie’s book, as he is widely connected to the royal couple, and has become an ‘unofficial mouthpiece’ for them.
When asked by host Camilla Tominey if it would be “good PR” for King Charles and Prince William to reconcile with the Sussexes following the book release, Arbiter said: “I’m going to answer a question with a question. You’re a parent and your child has done what Harry’s done. What would your reaction be?”
Camilla replied: “I mean, I wouldn’t be happy about it.”
Arbiter said in response: ” Trashing your family on Oprah, trashing for six hours on Netflix, a book that sold countless thousands. Come on.”

Camilla argued in defence: “But you might look at him and think, look, he’s damaged, he’s got a huge amount of baggage leftover from his mother’s very tragic death, he’s confused.
“He’s married a woman that doesn’t really want to be in the UK or have any more ties to the royals. Therefore, they might pity him a little?”
Arbiter highlighted: “But if you give too much, how much of it is going to stay private? How much is going to end up in the media?”
