THE Duchess of Sussex has told friends she did not hand author Omid Scobie a letter naming two senior royals alleged to have expressed "concern" about her son's potential skin colour.

A source close to Meghan, 42, also insisted it was never her intention the individuals should be identified publicly, despite raising the allegations in a TV interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.

Meghan, 42, and Prince Harry, 39, have not commented on Scobie's book Endgame or its Dutch version that named those alleged to have discussed Prince Archie's skin colour before the youngster, now four, was born.

Stand

It comes as 88% of Daily Express readers backed our stand in refusing to name them, as they are unable to defend themselves and the claims are widely suspected of being untrue.
