Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the drama, and Harry and Meghan remained silent.
But sources close to King Charles say he is “not worried” about his name appearing in the Dutch version and remains “full of energy”.
He told friends he was “not going to be emotionally blackmailed by his own son” after Harry appeared to be using his children in his ongoing battle with the royal family.
Last month, the couple let everyone know that they would be accepting an invitation from the King to spend Christmas at Sandringham this year.
But he’s highly unlikely to get an invite this Christmas – or any Christmas – after Omid Scobie’s bombshell book.
It came after a statement read on Harry’s behalf at the High Court this week in his order for 24-hour protection, saying he was “forced” to leave the UK almost four years ago
And he says he feels it is not safe to bring his wife and two grandchildren to Britain to see the king and the rest of the royal family without armed royal protection.
Scobie’s book also states that Harry called his father after being kicked out of Frogmore Cottage and begged him “don’t you want to see your grandchildren?”
A source said: “The king has said he will not be emotionally blackmailed by his own son. He is not worried about the book and remains full of energy.”
Meg and Harry made the shocking claims about race in their interview with Oprah in 2021, claiming that an unnamed member of the royal family had raised concerns about the color of their future children.
The couple claimed they would never reveal their identity as it would be “very damaging” to them.
But two years later Harry stunned the world when he claimed they had never even accused anyone of racism and instead said it was “unconscious prejudice”.
The Telegraph has revealed that the King and Meghan discussed the comments in private letters.
The English version of Endgame claims that there were actually “two identities” in the letters, but author Scobie said he could not name them for legal reasons.
But in the Dutch translation, both the King and Princess of Wales are cited as commenting on Archie’s skin color.
Scobie, 42, denies ever writing the names in the manuscript, but both Dutch translators say King and Kate were in the version they sent.
A source close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex denied naming Scobie.
Although royal sources told The Sun it was “unlikely”, the leak came from Buckingham Palace.
There is no confirmation that the names of the King and Kate even appear in the private letters that few people have laid eyes on.
The king spoke of his “love for Harry and Meghan” in his first address to the nation since the death of Queen Elizabeth II last September.
Speaking on TV broadcast from Buckingham Palace, he wished them both the best “as they continue to build their lives abroad”.
Just days after Harry’s shocking memoir Spara hit the bookshelves, the king kicked the Sussexes out of Frogmore Cottage.
They finally got the keys back this summer.
When Harry flew to London in September for a charity event ahead of the Invictus Games in Germany, he stayed in a hotel with his entourage.
Harry and Meghan must now give 28 days’ notice if they want to return and stay at the royal estate and for security threats to be assessed.
He is currently suing the Home Office over his decision to end 24-hour security when he and Meghan left the UK in March 2020.
During a two-day hearing at the High Court this week, Harry said: “It is with great sadness for both of us that my wife and I have felt compelled to step down from this role and leave the country in 2020.
“Great Britain is my home. The UK is central to my children’s heritage and a place I want them to feel at home as much as where they currently live in the United States.
“That cannot happen if it is not possible to protect them while they are on UK soil.
“I can’t expose my wife to danger like that, and given my life experiences, I hesitate to unnecessarily expose myself to danger.”
Observers noted this was a change of heart for the Duke who claimed in his Megxit statement in March 2020 that he and Meghan had “decided” to leave to create a “progressive” new role.
In a clip that appeared on his Netflix docuseries as part of his $100m deal with the streaming giant, he filmed himself grinning as he flew out of the UK, describing it as his “flight of freedom”.
And he said last year on American break TV, that “home for me right now, you know, for now, is in the United States.” And that’s how I feel.”
Prince Harry and Meghan “love bombed” King Charles in recent months.
Scobie’s book also states that after the California couple were evicted from Frogmore, Harry called his father and said, “Don’t you want to see your grandchildren?”
But they invited him for his 75th birthday and played a video of Archie, 4, and two-year-old Lilibet singing happy birthday.
The King hosted a themed ‘Celebration of Craft’ reception at Highgrove today, with The King’s Foundation.
The king’s spokesman did not want to comment.
