奥米德·斯考比似乎承认两名“皇家种族主义者”在终局选秀中被点名

  

  Writer Omid Scobie appears to have admitted the two royals alleged to have voiced ‘concerns’ a<em></em>bout the skin colour of Harry and Meghan’s son were named in an earlier version of the text. The Dutch version of his latest book Endgame were pulled from shelves last week after they identified King Charles and the Princess of Wales as members of the Royal Family said to have questio<em></em>ned Prince Archie’s skin tone before he was born. When the co<em></em>ntroversy first emerged, Scobie denied ever naming the royals alleged to have made the comments, telling RTL Boulevard: ‘For me, I edited and wrote the English version; there has never been a version that I’ve produced that has names in it.’ But in an opinion piece for the i on Friday, Scobie said ‘early and uncleared text’ was provided to a Dutch publisher with plans that its translation of the text ‘would be updat<em></em>ed to reflect the final version of the book’. He wrote: ‘To be clear, the o<em></em>nly publisher I worked directly with was the one covering the US and UK. I spent almost two mo<em></em>nths with independent British barristers and in-house legal counsel to ensure that every detail in the finished book was legally watertight. ‘Unbeknownst to me at the time, early and uncleared text was provided to the Dutch publisher in order for them to start work on the translation, with the understanding that their translation would be updated to reflect the final version of the book I officially submitted.’ Scobie said publishers in other countries, including France and Italy, adopted the same practice and produced versions of the book that ‘perfectly replicated the completed work’. The US-ba<em></em>sed British journalist added: ‘What I can be sure of is that I edited carefully, took independent legal advice, and the finished book that I submitted was not the version published in the Netherlands.’ Scobie is said to be close to Harry and Meghan and co-authored Finding Freedom, a biography of the Sussexes which chro<em></em>nicled the couple in glowing terms. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex alleged an unidentified member of the mo<em></em>narchy – but not Queen Elizabeth II or her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh – had raised ‘co<em></em>ncerns and co<em></em>nversations a<em></em>bout how dark his skin might be when he’s born’. The version being sold in English-speaking countries does not name the two people, with Mr Scobie stating: ‘Laws in the United Kingdom prevent me from reporting who they were.’ According to details in Endgame, the two names came to light in letters exchanged between Meghan and Charles in the aftermath of the Winfrey interview. The book asserts that the future of the mo<em></em>narchy is ‘in a crisis’ and it is in a ‘fight for survival’. Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace have declined to comment on the controversy.

  作家奥米德·斯考比似乎承认,这两位皇室成员据称对哈里和梅根儿子的肤色表示“担忧”,这是在早期版本的文本中提到的。

  他的新书《终局之战》的荷兰文版上周下架,因为他们确认查尔斯国王和威尔士王妃是王室成员,据说他们在阿奇王子出生前就质疑过他的肤色。

  当争议首次出现时,斯考比否认曾指名道姓发表评论的王室成员,他告诉RTL大道:“对我来说,我编辑并撰写了英文版;我制作的任何一个版本都没有名字。”

  但在周五的一篇评论文章中,斯考比表示,“早期和未清理的文本”已提供给一家荷兰出版商,并计划将其翻译“更新以反映该书的最终版本”。

  他写道:“澄清一下,我唯一直接合作的出版商是负责美国和英国的出版商。我花了将近两个月的时间与独立的英国律师和内部法律顾问一起,确保完成的书中的每一个细节都在法律上无懈可击。

  “当时我不知道,为了让荷兰出版商开始翻译,我把早期的、未清理的文本提供给了他们,我理解他们的翻译将会更新,以反映我正式提交的书的最终版本。”

  斯考比说,包括法国和意大利在内的其他国家的出版商也采用了同样的做法,并制作了“完美复制完整作品”的版本。

  这位旅居美国的英国记者补充说:“我可以肯定的是,我进行了仔细的编辑,听取了独立的法律建议,我提交的最终版本不是荷兰出版的版本。”

  据说斯考比与哈里和梅根关系密切,并与人合著了苏塞克斯夫妇的传记《寻找自由》(Finding Freedom),这本传记以热情洋溢的方式记录了这对夫妇。

  在2021年接受奥普拉·温弗瑞的采访时,苏塞克斯公爵和公爵夫人声称,一位身份不明的王室成员——但不是女王伊丽莎白二世或她的丈夫爱丁堡公爵——提出了“关于他出生时皮肤可能有多黑的担忧和讨论”。

  在英语国家出售的版本没有提到这两个人的名字,斯考比先生说:“英国的法律禁止我报道他们是谁。”

  根据《终局之战》的细节,这两个名字是在梅根和查尔斯接受温弗瑞采访后交换的信件中曝光的。

  这本书断言,君主制的未来“处于危机之中”,它正在“为生存而战”。

  白金汉宫和肯辛顿宫拒绝就这一争议发表评论。
