Prince Harry has been urged to skip the Oscars awards ceremony and instead travel to the UK to attend a memorial for the late Prince Philip.The 37-year-old is set to miss his grandfather’s remembrance service due to security concerns over him travelling back to England.
But the controversial royal could still attend the Hollywood awards event with his partner Meghan Markle – despite royal experts warning him it would be a bad idea, reports The Express.Pundit Angela Mollard told Australian morning show Sunrise: "There's a lot of talk it's going to go ahead but can you really turn up and stand on the stage at the Oscars and not turn up for your grandfather's memorial?“I've got a problem with that.
