"Explosive Royal Tell-All Uncovers Shocking Naming Mistake and Racist Allegations"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by BBC.com
The Dutch translation of Omid Scobie's book, "Endgame," contained a damaging reference linking a member of the Royal Family to a race row. The publisher has hastily withdrawn the book, citing an error in the translation that is currently being rectified. However, a comparison of the English and Dutch texts suggests that the damaging line was added and not mistranslated. The author, Omid Scobie, denies ever including names in any version of the book, ruling out the possibility of it being a draft or editing oversight. The publisher has not provided an explanation for the mistake, leaving speculation about the cause, including the possibility of a hack or hoax. Buckingham Palace and the English-language publishers have not commented on the controversy.
