Will Meghan Markle dare to come to Prince Philip's funeral?
The husband of Queen Elizabeth II died this Friday, April 9, everyone is already wondering: Prince Harry, but especially his wife, will they be present at the funeral?
While the death of Prince Philip has just been announced this Friday, April 9, the preparation for his funeral has already started. While the protocol for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II's husband has been established for a long time, the list of those present is not yet final. And all eyes are on California. If the presence of Prince Harry at the funeral of his grandfather is little doubt, that of his wife Meghan Markle is much less likely.
"Harry will do everything possible to return to the UK 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, nothing is less certain. "She will have to seek the advice of her doctors on whether she can travel safely, but I think Harry will definitely go," the source told British media.
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.
