Meghan Markle's involvement with the "Royal race row" will be "quickly forgotten" as she eyes up a Hollywood career in a bid to save brand Sussex.
Omid Scobie's new book, Endgame, was recently released. But after the book hit shelves, chaos ensued when the two senior Royals, who allegedly raised "concerns" and had "conversations" about the colour of Prince Archie's skin before he was born, were accidentally named in a Dutch translation of Scobie's scathing new book as Princess Kate and King Charles.
The two names emerged in Scobie's translated book after Meghan and her husband sat down for a tell-all chat with Oprah Winfrey in 2021. When the Sussexes made their explosive allegations, they set in train a public debate about who in the royal family might harbour such racially charged views.
Over the weekend, a source told Express that Meghan’s talent team at agency William Morris Endeavor (WME), whom she signed with earlier this year, were "horrified and exasperated by a never-ending scandal" by the race row that continues to progress on and threatens to "take a wrecking ball" to the California-based couple's future plans.
And now a renowned PR expert has lifted the lid on how the "Royal race row" will impact Meghan's hopes of breaking into Hollywood. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Andy Barr from 10Yetis revealed that Meghan is still a sought-after person of interest in Hollywood, with the Duchess not having much to worry about at all.
Speaking to us, Andy said: "Meghan is still a massive draw in Hollywood. It is clear that Tinsel Town is able to separate her Royal ties and associated baggage from her impressive acting ability.
"They will also have one eye on the hysteria and interest that will come from her being in a big ticket movie or show and the box office numbers that this will deliver."
He went on to add: "As Hollywood has shown time and time again, any past issues or misdemeanours are quickly forgotten if that celebrity can bring a ticket paying audience to the big screens."
But as Meghan's career is poised to pick up pace, the author of Endgame, Omid Scobie is still facing 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.”
