Meghan Markle would not be in attendance at Prince Philip's funeral, a Royal expert has revealed. Philip passed away in April 2021 at the age of 99. The Queen was heartbroken by his death having been married for 74 years and he was her "strength and stay" for the duration of her 70-year reign. His death came at a difficult time for the Royal family. Just one month earlier,
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sat down for their explosive tell-all interview with
Oprah Winfrey, during which they made a number of shocking allegations about the institution - including claims that members of the family had speculated about how "dark" their son's skin might be.

Royal wedding They also alleged that Princess Kate had made Meghan cry shortly before their wedding and stated that the palace had 'perpetuated falsehoods' about the couple. As a result, relations between Harry and Meghan and the rest of his family were incredibly strained. And there was much speculation about whether or not Meghan would attend the funeral given the tension provoked by the interview, reports the Mirror . The funeral of Prince Philip was a heartbreaking day for the late
Queen Elizabeth II. (Image: Getty Images) At the time, Meghan was pregnant with the couple's second child, and Covid restrictions were still in place; the Queen famously had to sit alone during the service as she said goodbye to her beloved husband. Meghan decided to stay in
California while Harry went to
London alone. In his book, Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors, author Tom Bower said the Queen was glad Meghan wasn't there. Mr Bower claims that when the Queen found out Meghan wouldn't be coming, she simply said: "Thank goodness." Join the Daily Record's

The Queen and Harry used to be close, but Harry's behaviour put her in a tough spot. In her new book, My Mother and I, Ingrid Seward talks about Prince Harry's public disagreement with his family and his "anger" at the
British monarchy. "He found a way to make himself the centre of attention by criticising his family, who he was growing more bitter towards," writes Ingrid. His disagreement with his brother is one thing, maybe normal among siblings, but "the anger aimed at the British monarchy, his father and step-mother, was totally unnecessary".

However much she loved Harry - and she did - she couldn't condone the way he was speaking about the institution of the monarchy that she had spent 70 years preserving." Lady Elizabeth Anson - a cousin and intimate friend of the Queen, who would speak to her on a daily basis - further confirmed that Harry's attitude had "upset his grandmother". Elsewhere in the book, Lady Anson also reveals how the Queen felt about Harry and Meghan's romance - "'Too in love' was her response to Prince Harry being under his future wife's spell," she says.
