That Prince Philipwife of Queen Elizabeth II, has always been known for her honesty, even sometimes brutal. It is not surprising that over the years he spoke frankly to his children and grandchildren. If we think about how close William and Harry were to their grandparents, it’s natural to imagine certain conversations being highly confidential.
To Philip Meghan Markle he wouldn’t like it very much and, apparently, the Prince had warned his nephew. Who knows, perhaps he envisioned the rift that would one day occur between the Dukes of Sussex and the rest of the Royal Family. According to several rumors reported by the British press, Prince Philip had direct discussions with Harry, before he married Meghan in 2018. After taking him aside, Philip warned second son Charles:“One dates actresses, not marries them.” Therefore, it is very clear what Philip thought, reported by biographer Andrew Lownie, author Entitled. This version is also confirmed by Ingrid Seward, another biographer of British aristocrats. According to him, Elizabeth II’s husband would never trust Markle, and would always look at her with distrust.
Maybe Filippo saw in Markle an old memory, namely the memory of the actress Wallis Simpsonwife of Edward VIII of England. Loving her deeply, Edward decided to renounce the throne, abdicating in favor of his brother George VI of England (Queen Elizabeth’s father) and marrying her. This was a huge scandal at the time. A real earthquake for the British monarchy.
While respecting his nephew’s wishes – the Prince attended the event wedding with the Queen – Philip never expressed his approval of Meghan. In this case, speaking about Harry and Meghan’s wedding, former butler Grant Harrold revealed that the Prince, after the ceremony was over, confided in his wife: “Thank you very much, it’s over.”
Philip yes
he would then be angered by herinterview given by the Sussex family to Oprah Winfrey in 2021. The rift with the Royal Family is still far away, but perhaps the Prince has already guessed how it will end.
