Prince Philip’s funeral took place on April 17, after Queen Elizabeth’s longtime husband passed away on April 9 that year. It was just a month after Prince Harry and Meghan’s infamous interview with Oprah, in which they reproached the British royal family and called it “racist”.
In the book Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors by biographer Tom Bower, it describes in detail how the Queen prepared for the funeral service at St. George’s Chapel. The author notes how the rehearsals for the funeral went flawlessly. The weather forecasts were also excellent. “The only uncertainty was the relationship between Harry and his family. How would he deal with his father and brother?” Meghan would not be present and had given the reason that she was seven months pregnant. “Thank God Meghan isn’t coming,” the monarch said.
The Sun Buckingham Palace has requested a response to this alleged statement, but the palace will not respond.
