King Charles, who recently celebrated his 75th birthday, had a series of public engagements and a private birthday celebration at Clarence House. His meeting with Nigeria's president was the start of a series of bilateral discussions with world leaders, marking his first public comment since the Dutch version of Omid Scobie's book, "Endgame," disclosed names of alleged individuals involved in the royal race row.
Tom Tugendhat, a UK government minister, praised the dignity and grace of King Charles and Princess Catherine in response to the allegations made in the Dutch version of Scobie's book. He described the claims as unproven rumors and hearsay and defended the King's long-standing service to the country.
Royal insiders have revealed that both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace are in complete agreement on their response to the situation, which they find deeply unsettling. There is a prevailing sense of sadness and anger, with many considering it a grave injustice for those implicated.
King Charles is taking the matter regarding Omid Scobie's book very seriously and intends to consult with senior advisors next week to determine the family's course of action. Legal action is among the options being considered. Scobie, appearing on the BBC's flagship program, "Newsnight," expressed his frustration over the week's events but refused to apologize to the concerned royals.
He maintained that he wants to get to the bottom of what happened and had previously attributed the controversy to a translation error. An investigation has been initiated to address the allegations. Meghan Markle's denial of sharing her letter with anyone has been met with skepticism, as it is believed that the information may have been relayed indirectly through various parties.
