In the magical world of media mischief, we find ourselves entangled in the whimsical saga of Omid Scobie’s Endgame and the great game of “Who can name-drop royals better?” Picture this: a tale that involves more twists and turns than a caffeinated rollercoaster ride at a circus run by conspiracy theorists.

So, there’s this book, Endgame, by Omid Scobie, a literary masterpiece brought to you by Harper Collins – a publishing house owned by none other than the Murdochs, the wizards behind News Corp. Now, keep your funny bone on standby because, as it turns out, News Corp also owns News UK, home to The Sun and The Times of London. And we all know, when it comes to drama, The Times is the Shakespeare of “curious coverage.”

The plot thickens as The Times dances around blame like a cat avoiding water – everyone else is sharpening their pitchforks, but not them. Meanwhile, the blame game is hosting an internal party at The Times, complete with tea and crumpets, because they’ve got a curious story to share. Spoiler alert: it involves “racist royals.”

In a wild turn of events, the author’s agency, United Talent Agency (UTA), played a game of pass-the-parcel with a draft. The Dutch publisher got a version with no royal names, but hold your laughter – UTA had sent an earlier draft with the names intact. Talk about lost in translation! The poor translator, probably needing a strong cup of coffee, used the wrong manuscript, and boom – we have a royal ruckus.

Dutch copies of Endgame were yanked from shelves faster than you can say “Prince Harry’s Netflix deal.” The blame initially landed on a “translation mix-up,” but then it became an “error.” Sounds like a royal downgrade from drama to comedy, doesn’t it?

Our heroes, the translators, stepped into the limelight. Saskia Peeters insisted the names were in the manuscript she received, playing the innocent translator card. Nellie Keukelaar remained silent, perhaps waiting for her cue in this Shakespearean comedy of errors.

Amidst the chaos, Scobie – our protagonist – swears he never included the names. Cue the lawyer entrance! If he did, wouldn’t legal wizards have shut it down faster than you can say “Harry and Meghan’s next interview”?

As we ponder the Murdoch connections, a pressing question echoes through the corridors of absurdity: Is someone trying to set up Omid Scobie? Or is this just another chapter in the whimsical world of media madness? Stay tuned for the next episode of “Royal Riddles and Publishing Puzzles!”
