Much has been made about a new book by trashy British gossip writer Omid Scobie which like so many before it promises to “tell all” about the Royal Family.
I for one am totally disgusted by this reprehensible waste of good paper which, as is the trend these days, takes the side of Their Former Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – Harry and Meghan – and smears the good name and reputation of everyone else from His Majesty King Charles III down.
I can say that from my discussions with my royal sources, His Majesty, his good wife Queen Camilla, and his other son Prince William and his wife Princess Katherine are all livid.
They are all especially enraged at Scobie’s attempts, like others before him, to suggest that some members of the Royal Family are racists and are completely unaware of being so.
As a longstanding royal correspondent who has almost met the King and Prince William on numerous occasions I can testify to the fact that Scobie is very much wide of the mark.
He is simply reporting tittle-tattle or blatantly making up events and incidents to cast the Royal Family in the worst possible light.
He also simply makes up the so-called “royal sources” he quotes just to help him peddle his own damaging claims, according to my royal sources.
Take for instance the “embarrassing incident” Scobie relates about the supposedly “racist” painting whose nameplate was removed just prior to a meeting between the then Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and then US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. (below)
The truth about that incident in 2016 is far less exciting, which is why Scobie embellished it.
My royal sources tell me that the 17th century painting by Aelbert Cuyp originally titled Negro Groom was hanging on the wall of the room where the now Prince and Princess of Wales were to meet the Obamas. (top, below)
Prior to the meeting the Duke of Edinburgh walked through the room and spied the artwork and immediately recognised it could spark some controversy.
So he personally rummaged through some of Princess Katherine’s fashion magazines and found a suitable image from a story about contemporary Japanese dress design to carefully paste over the young black groomsman. (bottom, below)
My royal sources say Prince Philip then stood back to admire his work and remarked: “They’ll never guess that slitty-eyed tart isn’t original.”
Who says the royals are not sensitive to racial issues and are not understanding of the attitudes and feelings of those who might take offence such as the Obamas?
If Scobie had bothered, as I have, to find out and report the facts of that incident he would have thought twice about putting his venomous pen to paper.
