Thomas Markle attacked Harry and Meghan for shunning Prince Philip’s memorial

Meghan Markle’s father recently released a new episode on his YouTube channel where he addressed the issue of Meghan and Harry not being present at the late Prince Philip’s memorial service which took place just over a week ago.

The Duke of Sussex was not in attendance after being denied security protection for himself and his family in the UK by the UK government, despite offering to pay for it.

However, Thomas as well as thousands of royal critics as well as fans felt that there was no excuse for Harry to not be present, and that his absence is unforgivable.

“Attending and giving respect and giving God’s grace to Prince Philip for a lifetime of service was very important to the Queen, and for them to not show up was a slap in the face to the Queen.

“It was unforgivable. The British people won’t forgive them for that, and they shouldn’t.

“I don’t know what the reason was, but there’s no excuse at all. It’s a slap in the face for the Queen and the British people,” said Markle.

Prince Andrew is hellbent on attending more events with the Queen

After attending Prince Philip’s memorial service last week as the Queen’s chaperone, Prince Andrew is allegedly planning to escort his mother once again to a public event as her chaperone to the Derby over the Platinum Jubilee weekend that will take place later this year.

Talking to The Sun, a source revealed that Queen Elizabeth II would need a chaperone to all of her public engagements as she is too frail and weak to attend them alone.

The source also noted that despite having to lay low and stay invisible during the Platinum Jubilee weekend festivities, Prince Andrew has earmarked the Derby as the one event which he will escort his mother too.

“The Queen needs a chaperone on all occasions at the moment due to her mobility issues and Andrew has earmarked the Derby as the one he will accompany her at,” the source said.
