Why It Is An Injustice To Name Royals In Race Row

OMID Scobie, the author of Endgame, seems determined to turn the title of his book into a reality for the Royal Family.

- 

As the eager mouthpiece for Harry and Meghan, he has taken on the mission to inflict crippling damage on the House of Windsor through the deployment of an unceasing barrage of incendiary smears and vicious slurs against Harry's own relatives.

That has led to two senior members of the Royal Family being now named in connection with racism allegations by certain media outlets.

The Daily Express is firmly of the belief that is wrong and they should not be named - especially as they have no effective way of defending themselves. The Royal Family will no doubt be once again forced to adopt its defensive stance of "never complain, never explain".

We believe this is a rank injustice and naming them only helps to propagate a disgraceful smear which is clearly designed to damage the monarchy. We should all be backing the Royal Family in their dignified attempts to rise above the noise, to keep calm and carry on though the temptation to meet fire with fire must be huge.

In Scobie's lurid narrative the King is portrayed as out of his depth on his accession, while Prince William is painted as ambitious, cold, and ruthless. His wife is dismissed cruelly as a "pliable" lightweight who supposedly has nothing like Meghan's gifts as a public performer and is even said to struggle over low-key, well-rehearsed public appearances.
