Kate Middleton getting named as one of the alleged racist royals could prompt the Palace to take legal action against the controversial book "Endgame."

Royal biographer Omid Scobie dropped his new book "Endgame" last week, and its Dutch version claimed that the alleged racist royals who raised concerns about the skin color of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's then-unborn child were King Charles and Kate Middleton. There are now claims that the Palace is considering a legal move, and royal commentator Kinsey Schofield spoke about this on TalkTV.

"I honestly think that the idea of Catherine, the Princess of Wales, being somehow involved shocked the world, and that is the only reason why I think they might be more aggressive when it comes 'Endgame' versus 'Spare' because William is so incredibly protective of his wife," Schofield claimed.

In the same interview, when asked about the Palace's options following the release of Scobie's controversial book, Schofield said it reminded her of what happened when Prince Harry dropped his biography, "Spare," earlier this year. The royals reportedly had "secret strategy meetings" to prepare for the possible revelations in Prince Harry's book and how they could address them.

"It was Prince William who aggressively wanted to fight back and go after his brother, but he was outvoted. They decided that when it came to 'Spare' unlike the Oprah Winfrey interview, it was really going to be the 'never complain, never explain' strategy," she said, even complimenting the royals' decision.

"However, in this particular case ['Endgame'], we are hearing that they're considering, maybe, perhaps going after someone legally for this."

Schofield, however, acknowledged that the royals should be cautious since going to court could also potentially subject them to open things that they might not want to share.

Royal editor Russell Myers and lawyer Paula Rhone Adrien also spoke about the royal family potentially taking legal action because of "Endgame," reigniting the racism row on "Lorraine." 

Rhone Adrien said in terms of legal claim, there were only limited instances when the members of the firm pursued a matter in the courts. As to who the royals could go after, the legal expert said many people were involved in processing the book from the manuscript, editing and translation to publication. However, she warned that the legal action could target the publisher and the author, Scobie.

"So it's quite a complicated structure that exists already, but in terms of naming a person. Well, the publishing house is probably going to be very worried at the moment, Lorraine. Absolutely, Omid is probably going to be very worried at the moment if it's the case that the royals decide to pursue a claim," the lawyer said.

Scobie claimed there was no manuscript with any names of the alleged racist royals. However, Saskia Peeters, who worked on the Dutch translation for Xander Uitgevers, insisted the names were mentioned, and she only translated the materials given to her.

"The names of the royals were there in black and white. I did not add them," she said. "I just did what I was paid to do and that was translate the book from English into Dutch."
