While Harry has attempted to distance himself from previous remarks about the royal family being racist, Scobie's book is seen as reviving those controversies.

The professor emphasizes the risk of association with the book and Scobie, potentially tarnishing the Sussex brand.
The dynamics surrounding the book and its impact on the couple's public image continue to unfold.
