BBC Names King and Princess of Wales as Royal Figures at Centre of Racism Row

Radio 4’s Today programme announced the names to its listeners, just an hour after saying the corporation would not be disclosing them.

BBC 2 DEC 2023

The decision is understood to have been taken by senior news executives, after multiple British newspapers and broadcasters identified the pair as the royal figures said to have commented on the colour of Prince Archie’s skin.

The names were first made public in the Dutch edition of Omid Scobie’s book Endgame, in what has been described as an error.

After the names spread around the world online, Piers Morgan announced them on his Talk TV show, arguing it was farcical that Dutch readers knew the identities while those in the UK did not

But on Friday morning, Jonny Dymond, the BBC’s royal correspondent, said: “Dutch editions of the book named the King and the Princess of Wales as the two members of the Royal family who allegedly raised the issue of the skin colour of Meghan’s first child.

“The circumstances and context of the discussion and the context in which the questions are raised is not clear.”

Shortly afterwards, Nick Robinson, a presenter on the Today programme, clarified: “To be clear, I told listeners about an hour ago, the BBC was not naming them, we are now naming the King and the Princess of Wales as being at the centre of those allegations.”

It is understood that the decision was finalised by senior news editors at the BBC, and now applies across the news division. The names have since been used on Radio 2 and online.

“King Charles and Catherine, Princess of Wales, were the two royals named in the Dutch book.”
