Royal author Omid Scobie has been appearing on UK television to promote his new book but his body language was telling a different story altogether, an expert says.
The author of Endgame which is already shrouded in controversy, appeared “unsure” when asked if the translation mistake naming two Royals as “racist” was a publicity stunt or not, according to a top body language expert.
Endgame, which details the growing divide betweenPrince Harry, Meghan Markle and the rest of the Royal family, was released this week, but has hit the headlines for one reason only, after naming King Charles and Kate Middleton as two who had concerns about the “skin colour” of Harry and Meghan's children – and Scobie claims it was done by "mistake".
The Dutch translator responsible for the erroneous publication has claimed the names were there in “black and white” when she got a copy of it. Scobie Is now touring the media to try and dampen the flames the mistake has caused.

However, when asked during an appearance on BBC's Newsnight whether or not it was a publicity stunt, he denied it . . . but his body language appeared to say otherwise. Despite appearing to be “honest” during the entire near-nine minute-long chat about the book, there was one “crucial” moment where Scobie's demeanour changed.
Speaking exclusive to the Daily Star, Inbaal Honigman said:”Scobie's body language is honest and open for the majority of the interview.
“When we see his hands, his palms face up in a gesture which says 'I have nothing to hide'. His eyes wander away often which lets us know that he's looking for the right words to say, he's not repeating rehearsed lines.

“There is one interesting moment, however, which may be quite telling. Truth tellers tend to nod along with their speech, in a subtle confirmation of their sentences, affirming 'yes, yes, yes' by nodding their heads as they go – Scobie does that a lot in the Newsnight interview.
“Except one crucial moment, when he is asked 'hand on heart' whether he can say it wasn't a publicity stunt, Scobie shakes his head as he answers. It's a small gesture, but it says no. His words say that it's not a publicity stunt, but his body language isn't so sure.”
