For the royal family, it’s always business as usual — even in the middle of a scandal that’s still unfolding. Prince William and Kate Middleton entertained Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden at Windsor Castle in England this week, smiling as they posed for photos, despite new reports about their family. Following a week of bombshell revelations made in royal reporter Omid Scobie’s new book, Endgame, a bit of a blunder with the Dutch translation may have revealed the names of members of the family who are actually racist behind closed doors … a statement that is now being made even more public by TV presenter Piers Morgan.
From the outside, it looks like nothing is amiss in the royal family.

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s official social media accounts shared the update about welcoming the Swedish Royals to Kensington Palace, along with a group photo.
“A pleasure to welcome The Crown Princess of Sweden and Prince Daniel to Windsor this morning,” the caption read.
A major bombshell about the Princess of Wales dropped this week.

Will and Kate were both all smiles, despite the fact that things aren’t exactly going well for them right now. On Wednesday, new claims surfaced that Kate was one of the two people who asked Prince Harry and Meghan Markle about what skin tone Archie would have. Though Harry and Meghan have openly spoken about this incident, they’ve always been careful not to name names themselves.
British news personality Piers Morgan revealed during the Wednesday broadcast of his show Piers Morgan Uncensored that Kate, along with King Charles, were the two who asked the question. Piers credited the Dutch translation of royal reporter Omid Scobie’s book Endgame for the revelation. Reportedly, their names were accidentally published in the Dutch translation after being redacted from other translations of the book.
Piers felt justified in his decision to spill the beans.

“Frankly, if Dutch people wandering into a bookshop can pick it up and see these names, then you — the British people here, who actually pay for the British royal family — you’re entitled to know, too,” he said during his show.
Xander Uitgevers, the Dutch publisher of the book, moved quickly to remove copies naming the racist members of the family from shelves. “An error occurred in the Dutch translation and is currently being rectified,” Anke Roelen, the publisher’s managing director, said in a statement to the BBC via Page Six .
So far, the revelation doesn’t seem to be changing any opinions of Kate.
