Unfounded Allegations of Racism to Tarnish Royal Reputation after a Dutch edition of a new book named two senior royals. However, the UK, USA and other editions mysteriously omitted any references to these individuals, a twist, the author denies book contents.
Professor Chris Imafidon, a renowned Wall Street Journal best-selling author; Mentor to New York Times bestselling author; and cited authority on royalty, shares some insights into this latest royal smear.
In a recent review of a new royal biography, TV anchor-man, Mr. Piers Morgan has refuted the controversial claim that two senior members of the royal family made racist remarks about the skin colour of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s unborn child. However Mr Morgan became the first journalist on mainstream media to name these falsely accused “racist royals”. These allegations have sparked outrage and debate, prompting a closer examination of the evidence and the motivations behind them.
A central figure in this narrative is the journalist who penned the biography, who has a close relationship with Meghan Markle. However, this relationship has been called into question due to the author’s previous admission of lying in court regarding their interactions with the Duchess. This raises concerns about the credibility of the claims made in the book, particularly those concerning sensitive matters like racism.
It is important to note that there is NO evidence to support the allegations of racism against the senior royals. In fact, there exists a substantial body of evidence that contradicts these claims and paints a more nuanced picture of the royal family’s relationship with race and diversity.
KING’S TRUST
One compelling example is King Charles III’s long-standing commitment to supporting underprivileged youth, particularly from inner-city black communities. His establishment of the Prince’s Trust (now Kings’ Trust), a charitable organization dedicated to empowering young people, stands as a testament to his dedication to fostering an inclusive and equitable society.
Furthermore, King Charles’s personal interactions with people of diverse backgrounds have consistently demonstrated his respect and appreciation for different cultures and perspectives. His first state visit as King was South Africa, an African nation, and his first commonwealth country visited since coronation was Kenya, another African nation. These choices speak volumes about his commitment to strengthening ties with Africa and promoting cross-cultural understanding.
In contrast to these positive examples, the allegations of racism against the senior royals appear to be based on a smear campaign or at best hearsay of the ill-informed and a lack of concrete evidence. It is crucial to exercise caution and avoid perpetuating harmful stereotypes when evaluating such claims.
SPARE FACTS
In the royal autobiography penned by Prince Harry, Duchess Meghan’s husband, not one single word suggesting racism was stated against this same individuals or any royal family member. Prince Harry stated a lot the autobiography, and during the pre-publication interview, Prince Harry clearly denied that the royals were racist. Prince Harry, the father of mixed race children, said that the “racism allegation was a media invention”.
The timing of these allegations also raises questions about their underlying motives. The release of the biography coincides with a period of heightened scrutiny of the royal family, and some have suggested that the timing is not coincidental.
It is essential to approach such accusations with a critical eye and avoid succumbing to sensationalism or unsubstantiated claims. The royal family has a long and complex history, and it is important to evaluate any allegations within this context.
MORGAN Vs MEGHAN
The animosity between Mr Piers Morgan and Duchess Meghan are well known and pre-dated Meghan fair-tale royal wedding. However, the latest revelations and royal smear is beyond personal animosity.
Therefore, anyone familiar with the unpaid and unrewarded charitable work of the current members of the royal family understands that the wild allegations of racism against the senior royals lack any evidence and clearly contradict the royal family’s unpublished philanthropic and unseen tireless dedication as well as their demonstrated commitment to diversity and inclusion. It is crucial to exercise caution and avoid perpetuating harmful stereotypes when evaluating such claims.
Here are some excerpts from Mr Morgan’s the media discussions
“Harry and Meghan’s claims about supposed racists in the Royal family have left a predictable and poisonous legacy for the last two years. We live in an age where grievances are given the benefit of the doubt, where the establishment is toxic by default, where my truth apparently means more than the truth. They knew the power their words would hold, and many people across the world took their words at face value. Now, almost three years on, Britain is still dealing with the fallout from this”
Piers Morgan
“You may recall that I lost my previous job for responding to these claims by saying I didn’t believe a word of it. Well, Harry and Meghan have never provided any evidence for that highly incendiary claim. It’s not like they haven’t had the chance to. After all, they pumped out 6 hours of self indulgent vile on Netflix, trashing Britain and the press for its racism, but didn’t mention what they said on Oprah. Harry read 150,000 words of family bashing poison in his memoir Spare, and told the TV studios to promote it, but didn’t mention what they’d said to Oprah Winfrey. Meghan had a twelve-part podcast on Spotify, but didn’t mention it either. Like it never happened, like it disappeared. Clearly, neither of them gave a damn about raw protocol or family privacy”
“In fact, they built a whole industry around violating their own privacy and out of their relatives instead of backing up those claims about racism on their relentless publicity tour. Harry did this sort of strange U turn, didn’t he, a few months ago, try to pretend they’d never said them? It was us. It was the media. In the Oprah interview, you accused members of your family of racism. You don’t even the British press said that. Right. Did Megan ever mention she said there were troubling comments about concern about his skin colour? Right. Wouldn’t you describe that as essentially racist? I wouldn’t. Not having lived within that family took him two years to do that. Utah two years of the Royal family are a bunch of racists flying around the world”
“I was in America through a lot of that period and they all believed it because it had appeared on Oprah then. He says, I never meant to say anything about racist. What are you all talking about? It’s the beastly media. Well, now, Harry and Meghan’s lick spittle client, journalist Omid SCOBY, the man who lied about his age, said he was 33 when in fact he was 38. I’m a older now. Said he never used private jets and then got reminded of an Instagram picture of him the week before. He denied that this week, showing him on a private jet. The man who said that I have regular phone calls with Queen Camilla. Regular phone calls. Never had one phone call with Queen Camilla in my entire life. I’d like to, but she doesn’t call”
“….back with a spiteful, lie-filled new book that’s poured fuel on the flames. He says that Meghan wrote private letters to King Charles, naming two royals who she accuses of taking part in those supposedly troubling conversations about Archie’s skin colour. He initially said he knew the names but couldn’t legally report them. But of course, he could have done it outside of the UK, he could have done it in America if he wanted to, where the book is published, he could have done it anywhere. But he said he never names, which is another of his lies. And yet, overnight, they were sensationally revealed suddenly, out of nowhere, in the Dutch version of the book, journalists had been sent copies and the book was briefly on sale in bookstores before being suddenly withdrawn”
“In a dash by the publishers, He initially said it was a translation error, which didn’t really make any sense because how do you mistranslate names? They’re either there or they’re not. The publisher now says wasn’t a translation, it was simply an error. But how did that error happen? How is there an entire different version appearing in a Dutch edition of this book? The consequence of that error is that millions of people online around the world now know the royals are again being implicated in what I think is a completely baseless claim of inferred racism. There is again massive speculation about who the people who were supposedly making comments about Archie’s skin colour, which is incredibly unfair to all the Royal Family. They’ve all been tarred with this brush now for years”
“Well, I’m going to end all this nonsense, because, frankly, if a book is on the streets in Holland available to Dutch people containing names, that the lickspittle scribe for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the man who, you may remember, denied they had any involvement in the last book and so did Meghan. Do you remember? Nothing to do with it. But then in court, many months after the book was published, under oath. She had to admit she had emailed her aides briefing notes for when they met SCOBY. So she was one of his primary sources on that first book. Now, again, we’re being told she had nothing to do with this and maybe she didn’t and maybe we should believing her”
“…. when he says he did not ever write these names down in any draft of his book, it just somehow popped up in the Dutch version of the book. How? I’ve written ten books, I think it is. Now, I’ve never had a version of my book pop up in a foreign edition that contained unbelievably damning allegations about two of the most famous people in the world. And I had nothing to do with it and didn’t know how it got there, and nor did anybody else. How does it get there, Omid? Surely you have your thumb and you must be furious, right? You must be demanding heads roll and you want names, don’t you? Ironically, Omid, about who did this to you, who besmirched your reputation as an author?”
“I would, omid, I’d want to know right now, especially if I was trying to convince the world that I had nothing to do with it myself. And I’d never, ever put these names in writing. And maybe some lawyer had come along and told me not to. I mean, that couldn’t possibly have happened because you’ve given us your word. And as I’ve established so far in this monologue, your word is your bond and should be taken as sacrosanct. Well, I’m going to cut through all this crap. I’m going to tell you the names of the two senior royals who are named in that Dutch version of the book. Because frankly, if Dutch people wandering into a bookshop can pick it up and see these names, then you British people here who actually pay for the British royal family, you’re entitled to know too”
