An insider close to the former Suits actress also insisted she did not want them identified despite starting the row with her appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show in March 2021.
Meghan and Harry have not commented on Scobie’s Endgame book or the scandal that has erupted over a Dutch edition that claims the two senior royals discussed Prince Archie’s skin colour before he was born.
The Royal Family is considering legal action after Scobie revealed he had seen the names on letters exchanged by Meghan and Charles.
Sources close to Meghan said it was never her intention that the individuals should be publicly identified.
The source also insisted the letter quoted in the Dutch edition of Endgame was not leaked to Scobie by members of “Team Sussex”, aides of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
He urged Buckingham Palace not to bother with legal action over the affair.
He said: “Any such legal action strikes me as a mistake.
The effort to suppress the identity would seem to concede that there has indeed been some form of transgression, that someone really has said something for which public censure is due and that, as far as I can see, is total rubbish.
“There has been no transgression, no sin against 21st-century values, no blurting of some unsavoury remark.”
“To say otherwise, and to concede to the hysterics, is to make yet another surrender to wokery and cancel culture. People have had enough of all this.”
He went on: “Why the epic hoo-ha? Well, I suppose that it is partly because it is intended to be a hoo-ha, not least by the tripe-mongering author.”
“Frankly I neither know nor care which royal said something about Archie, but I am certain that he or she was not remotely racist.”
“It’s time to stop all this nonsense and re-draw the distinction between the ugliness of racism and prejudice, against which we have abundant statutes, and ordinary, innocent patterns of human thought and behaviour.”
“It’s time to wake the woke from their trance, and cancel the cancel culture; because it’s starting to make a mockery of the liberal values that really matter.”
