Omid Scobie discusses names being published in Dutch book<\/h3>\n

Boris Johnson has made clear his thoughts on the current racism row which has hit the Royal Family.<\/p>\n

This comes after two royals alleged to have made remarks about the skin colour of Prince Archie were named in a Dutch translation of Omid Scobie’s new book, Endgame.<\/p>\n

The apparent “translation error” meant the Dutch versions had to be dramatically pulled from shelves and pulped at the last minute.<\/p>\n

In response, Buckingham Palace is thought to be consulting senior advisers on the Royal Family’s next step, with “all options”, including legal action, set to be considered.<\/p>\n

However, the former prime minister has warned the Royal Family against taking legal action, saying such a move would be a “mistake”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Writing in the Daily Mail, he said that taking legal action would concede that the allegation, which was speculation about Archie’s skin colour, was “some form of transgression”.<\/p>\n

The former PM went on to say that the Palace taking legal action would amount to “yet another surrender to wokery and cancel culture”.<\/p>\n

Mr Johnson insisted that “to ask such questions, in anticipation of a happy event, is simple human nature”.<\/p>\n

He added that the claim that such a remark was racist “is total rubbish”.<\/p>\n

The former PM wrote: “The world is being whipped into an ecstasy of confected indignation.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t give a monkey’s who said something about the possible genetic inheritance of the impending arrival of a child standing umpteenth in line to the throne, because I don’t think any such speculation is remotely racist.<\/p>\n

“It’s time to stop all this nonsense, and re-draw the distinction between the ugliness of racism and prejudice \u2014 against which we have abundant statutes \u2014 and ordinary, innocent patterns of human thought and behaviour.”<\/p>\n
