Meghan Markle's unstoppable excuse for not attending Prince Philip's funeral
The husband of Queen Elizabeth II died this Friday April 9 and since everyone wondered about the presence or not of the Duchess of Sussex. His absence is now confirmed and his argument impeccable.
His excuse is timely. Meghan Markle will not be able to attend Prince Philip's funeral, scheduled for Saturday April 17. If the protocol has been established for a long time, the list of those present was not yet final and everyone had their eyes fixed on California. Because if the presence of prince Harry at the funeral of his grandfather was little doubt, that of his wife was much less likely.
"Harry will do everything possible to return to the United Kingdom and reunite with his family," a source close to Buckingham Palace told the Daily Mail. He wants nothing more than to be there for his family, and especially for his grandmother, during this terrible time. ” As for the Duchess of Sussex, pregnant with her second child and whose delivery is scheduled for early summer, she was awaiting the advice of her doctors to know if she could travel safely. As AFP confirmed on Saturday April 10, the answer is no and it is therefore alone that Prince Harry will travel to England.
A timely excuse
It must be said that Meghan Markle is no longer quite welcome since the interview she and Harry gave to Oprah Winfrey on March 7. In the show broadcast by the American channel CBS, the couple had made some boring revelations about the British royal family. Meghan Markle had in particular confided to have asked, in vain, for psychological help when she was in the grip of suicidal thoughts; or that racist remarks had been made about the skin color of her unborn son, Archie. The interview was broadcast while Prince Philip was hospitalized.
