A spokesman for the publisher said: “You are right, but I can’t talk about the details. We have, however, received a request to put the title on hold, and that is what we have done.”
The book reportedly references letters shared between the former Suits actress and King Charles, reading, “But in those private letters, [the person’s identity] was confirmed.” The Daily Mail has redacted the name.
It remains unclear why the Dutch version of the book would name the royal when other editions have not. It has sparked fierce speculation on X (formerly Twitter) that the name may have been included intentionally.
It comes after Paris Match revealed last week that Meghan allegedly told King Charles there were two “royal racists” who questioned her son Archie’s skin colour.
The Sun says it is not known if the second accused person is a member of the royal family or someone who works for “the Firm”, but stated they are a member of the royal household.
The comments are unlikely to receive a response from the royal family or the palace, as a source previously revealed to Daily Mail that while the book is “bad, very bad”, unless there are “charges of racism”, such as naming the royal who Meghan claims questioned what colour skin their then-unborn son Archie would have, then it is “unlikely” royal aides will comment on the contents of the book.
