In the nuanced world of royal communications, “Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival,” by Omid Scobie, sheds light on the letters exchanged between King Charles and Meghan Markle. These letters were written in the wake of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
This interview, which made waves across the globe, included disclosures about the royal family, notably around discussions concerning the skin color of Archie, Meghan and Harry’s son. In the wake of these revelations, King Charles reached out to Meghan, as reported by The Telegraph in 2021, and now further detailed in Scobie’s book.
Scobie describes King Charles’ letters as filled with regret and a desire to heal the rift in the family. He communicated his belief that the comments about Archie’s skin color weren’t made with harmful intent. Meghan responded by discussing the issue of unconscious bias and the need to confront such underlying issues.

Their exchange, as depicted by Scobie, was marked by mutual respect, although it seems each retained their own perspective on the situation. However, the correspondence achieved a sense of being heard and understood by both parties.
Following the interview, Buckingham Palace issued a statement acknowledging the serious nature of the revelations and committing to addressing them privately.
“Endgame” not only reveals these private exchanges but also delves into the relationship dynamics within the royal family, particularly between King Charles and Prince William, highlighting a complex interplay of tension and ambition.
In the grand scheme of the royal narrative, Scobie’s book offers a glimpse into the delicate balance of public perception and private reality, and the ongoing efforts to maintain harmony within the British monarchy.
