A copy of Omid Scobie’s Endgame in Dutch will be auctioned off after the book was taken from shelves due to an inaccurate translation that accused two royals of racism.
Dutch journalist Rick Evers has offered his copy of the book for sale, with the money benefiting a charity that assists writers and translators.
The book is expected to garner attention, especially after it was pulled off shelves after it was revealed that the translated version generated shockwaves by naming two royals who purportedly expressed concern about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son Archie’s skin color.
Evers took to X, now known as Twitter, to announce that bidding will begin on Wednesday, adding that the copy was likely the last of its kind because the reprinted and re-edited edition will not include the identities.
“I have decided to have my copy of Endgame auctioned for charity. It’s one of the few before it was banned, which played the leading role on UK, US, Australian and Canadian TV.”
