Thomas Markle has blasted his daughter Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and her husband, Prince Harry, for their “unforgivable” decision not to attend Prince Philip’s memorial service.
The retired lighting director – who hasn’t seen his daughter since before her 2018 wedding and has never met her husband – branded the couple’s failure to fly to the UK to attend a service in celebration of the life of the prince’s late grandfather last week a “slap in the face for the Queen”.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Thomas fumed: “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.
But Richard Griffin, who was a royal protection officer for the Duke of Edinburgh – who died last April aged 99 – for 14 years insisted security concerns were a “pathetic excuse” for Harry not to join the rest of his family at the service.
He said: “Prince Philip was their grandfather so William has obviously had a great training from him and is going to learn examples from him. I just hope Harry gets some of these things in his mind.
“It (Harry not being here) was a big disappointment for everybody. People were talking about it. Certainly around where I was people were saying he should have been here.
