Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been hitting the headlines recently after the "Royal race row" was reignited following Omid Scobie's book Endgame being published.
Back in 2021, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex famously sat down with Oprah Winfrey for a tell-all chat. While being interviewed by the TV star, Meghan spoke about how two senior members of the Royal family had raised "concerns" and had "conversations" about the colour of Prince Archie's skin before he was born.
The two names then emerged in the Dutch translation of Scobie's book, despite him denying revealing the two names. When the Sussexes made their explosive allegations almost three years ago, they set in train a public debate about who in the royal family might harbour such racially charged views.
So, how can the Sussexes repair the damage Endgame has done and the fallout of the Royal race row? Renowned PR guru Andy Barr from 10Yetis has now revealed the way in which he believes the couple will move past this.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Andy said: "Harry and Meghan will go down the classic crisis communications route of saying nothing and let it all die down for a few months. This has been the golden mantra of the Royal PR machine that has stood the test of time."
He went on: "Whilst they are seemingly clamouring to get away from the Royal Family itself and they definitely ignore the Royal mantra of 'never complain, never explain', they are still adept at using some of its other crisis communications PR tactics, such as keeping a low profile until the news agenda moves on."
Concluding his analysis and public relation predictions, Andy added: "Up until the book being launched they had kept, compared to their normal levels, a relatively low profile and we can expect them to go back to this, until they have something new to promote or talk about."
This comes as Endgame author Omid Scobie continues to face backlash after the Dutch translation seemingly named the two senior Royals. Scobie has denied naming the two senior royals in his original manuscript and blamed an error for the names appearing in the book.
Speaking on a Dutch television show, Scobie said: The book is in several languages, and unfortunately I do not speak Dutch. But if there are translation errors, I’m sure the publishers will have it under control.
"I wrote and edited the English version,” he added. “There’s never been no version that I’ve produced that has names in it.”
