An exiled European royal who thought of himself as an outsider early on, Prince Philip found his place in the world through sacrifice and service to the British monarchy.
Prince Philip welcomed new royals, like Princess Diana and Meghan, because he knew “what it’s like to be the new person on the block and suddenly come into this family with all their strange protocols”. Prince Philip, being a very intelligent man, knew how to handle all these newcomers, but in return, he only expected that they, too, would have a sense of duty as he had,”
A friend of Meghan candidly talked about Meghan and the Duke of Edinburgh’s special bond. Chatting with the Daily Mail, the friend of the former actress said that she and Prince Philip “had a special bond and she adored him.” “Meghan said her main concern right now is supporting Harry. Meghan said attending or not attending Prince Philip’s funeral isn’t going to change her relationship with the Queen.”
