Harry and Meghan’s silence over Endgame royal race row is deafening – the time has come for them to come clean
Sussexes can stay silent . . . if it suits
AUTHOR Omid Scobie has denied that Harry and Meghan were involved with his disgraceful new book.
But today we reveal how the version put on sale in the Netherlands contains further damaging comments about Prince William, branding him “heartless”.
And it repeatedly cites sources “close to the Sussexes”, which are mysteriously absent from the text in the UK.
It remains to be seen how long Scobie can continue to claim that he was not responsible for the wholly unsubstantiated allegations about the King and Kate, which appeared in a Dutch language version of the book.
Amid all the clamour, the silence from one quarter has been strangely deafening.
We have become used to Harry and Meghan lecturing the British public on a range of subjects from their £15million Californian bolthole.

But on the subject of their pet journalist’s latest work we have yet to hear a dicky bird.
Why the sudden reticence?
Sources close to the Sussexes insist the pair had nothing to do with the book, which portrays them, as ever, as victims.
We would like to take them at their word.

Of course Meghan denied co-operating over Scobie’s earlier book, until she finally remembered doing so during court action against The Mail on Sunday.
And the statement in the Dutch book that Harry and Meghan support a free press is laughable given the millions US-based Harry has spent waging war on newspapers in the British courts.
The royals cruelly accused of being racist cannot speak out.
Harry, Meghan and Scobie can.
The time has come for them to use that freedom and come clean.
Facing up to danger
DAVID Cameron is right to say Britain has rarely faced a time of such danger and uncertainty abroad.
The new Foreign Secretary writes powerfully on this page about how the twin evils of conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East threaten the stability of the West.
How times have changed from the optimism that followed the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Berlin Wall.
But Lord Cameron is right to say that we must be clear-eyed in the face of today’s very real perils.
We cannot turn our backs on the violence and bloodshed.
Instead, we must be resolute and stand firm with our allies.

If there is a silver lining, it is that we can form strong alliances in times of adversity with those who share our values.
That way we can hope to emerge from these crises even stronger.
