In a remarkable display of support, Princess Catherine received a standing ovation at a royal event, just a day after being named in Omid Scobie’s book, Endgame.
The book alleges that she is one of the royals who expressed concerns about the skin tone of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s children.
This revelation has ignited a firestorm of controversy, yet Catherine appeared unfazed, basking in the warmth of the crowd’s applause.
Meanwhile, King Charles, also mentioned in the book regarding the alleged comments, delivered a keynote speech at the 28 Colombian pesos climate conference in Dubai.
Despite the swirling accusations and public scrutiny, royal aides have insisted that the King remains focused on the summit.
They have dismissed speculation about stripping Harry and Meghan of their royal titles, emphasizing that such drastic measures are not under consideration.
As the royal family faces mounting pressure to address the allegations, insiders reveal that they are opting for a strategy of silence.
This decision seems to stem from a desire to differentiate between the accidental mention in a foreign-language publication and the direct accusations made by Meghan and Harry during their Oprah interview.
The palace appears to be walking a tightrope, balancing public relations with the need to maintain dignity.
While a formal response akin to the late Queen’s reaction to the Oprah revelations seems unlikely, sources suggest that the palace is preparing informal responses to address the unfolding situation.
The royal family is reportedly united in their condemnation of any insinuation of racist language, with both Princess Catherine and King Charles maintaining a strong presence in the UK, seemingly unaffected by the uproar.
Interestingly, the revelations surrounding the book may even evoke sympathy for the royals, especially given the divisive reputation that Harry and Meghan have garnered in Britain.
Many observers are curious to see how public sentiment will evolve as the story unfolds.
