Meghan Markle has seemingly extended an olive branch to her father-in-law King Charles, amid renewed tensions between her and the Royal family.
In photos published by PEOPLE this week, the Duchess of Sussex was spotted in Santa Barbara wearing a diamond bracelet that was reportedly gifted to her by the British monarch.
Meghan first wore the bracelet the night before her wedding to Prince Harry in May 2018, which caused fans to think that it was a gift from then-Prince Charles.
She also wore the bracelet during her first royal engagement alongside King Charles and Queen Camilla.
The bracelet made a final public appearance in Fiji, during Meghan and Harry’s royal tour in the Autumn of 2018.
Tensions between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Royal family reached fever pitch last week, following the release of Omid Scobie’s new book about the British royals.
Early in the week, copies of Endgame were urgently pulled from shelves in the Netherlands due to a translation “error”.
In a statement, publishers Xander said: “[We are] temporarily withdrawing the book by Omid Scobie from sale. An error occurred in the Dutch translation and is currently being rectified.”
According to the MailOnline, the Dutch version of the book named two members of the Royal family who allegedly questioned the skin colour of Prince Harry and Meghan’s son before he was born.
In March 2021, the Duchess of Sussex told Oprah Winfrey in a televised interview that a member of the Royal family had raised “concerns” about Archie’s skin colour.
The couple refused to reveal who had made the comments at the time.
Scobie has insisted he never mentioned their names in any version of the book, and has denied this is a publicity stunt to sell copies.
He told the chatshow RTL Boulevard: “The book is in several languages, and unfortunately I do not speak Dutch. But if there are translation errors, the publisher will correct them.
“I wrote the English version. There was no version from me in which names were mentioned.”
The book claims that Meghan previously wrote a letter to King Charles, who was the Prince of Wales at the time, expressing her concerns about unconscious bias in the royal family.
According to Scobie, the letters revealed the identity of two people that allegedly took part in conversations about Archie’s skin colour.
In the book, he writes: “Laws in the United Kingdom prevent me from reporting who they were.”
But after their names appeared in the Dutch version of the book, Piers Morgan dramatically shared their identities on live TV in the UK.
Speaking on his TalkTV show Uncensored on Wednesday evening, the presenter revealed the names of the two royals caught up in the racism row.
The 58-year-old said he wanted to reveal their names in order to allow an “open debate” on what really happened.
He also said he did not believe “any racist comments were ever made by any members of the Royal family”.
According to The Telegraph, Buckingham Palace is now considering taking legal action.
Omid Scobie has denied he interviewed Harry or Meghan for the book, but has confirmed they have “mutual friends”.
During a recent interview with The Times, he said: “I have mutual friends with [Meghan], and that definitely helps with getting information and breaking details.”
