\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tFollowing their shocking step away from their senior royal duties in March 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have distanced themselves from their relatives across the pond. Nearly one year after their initial step away, Buckingham Palace confirmed in February 2021 that Harry and the Suits alum were not going to return as working royals. [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
A separate book, published earlier this year by former royal butler Grant Harrold<\/strong>, revealed another off-color comment<\/a> from Philip following Harry and Meghan\u2019s ceremony.<\/p>\n\u201cOnce all the formalities were over, we watched as the happy couple, and then the other members of the Royal Family, filed out of the chapel,\u201d Harrold wrote in The Royal Butler<\/em>, which was released in August<\/a>. \u201cWhen Prince Philip came out, he turned to the Queen and said, \u2018Thank f*** that\u2019s over.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\nRoyal biographer Ingrid Seward<\/strong> previously told Us Weekly<\/em> exclusively that there was no bad blood between Philip and Meghan. In fact, Seward claimed Phillip was \u201cvery welcoming\u201d toward the former Suits<\/em><\/a> star.<\/p>\n\u201cShe was a newcomer \u2014 and a very different newcomer,\u201d Seward shared in 2021. \u201cAt the time of Meghan and Harry\u2019s romance, he wasn\u2019t around nearly as much because he\u2019d retired. He didn\u2019t see very much of Meghan at all [and] he didn\u2019t really have a chance to form a relationship with her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harry and Meghan\u2019s wedding took place six weeks after Philip had hip surgery, but he still attended the nuptials.<\/p>\n
\u201c[It] is a really good example of him being absolutely determined that whatever happened, he was gonna walk down that aisle at the wedding and take his seat,\u201d Seward explained.<\/p>\n
