Queen said 'thank goodness Meghan isn't coming' to Philip's funeral, new book claims

ok.co.uk:

The Queen told one of her staff members that she was relieved Meghan Markle would not be able to attend Prince Philip's funeral, a new book claims.

Royal author Tom Bower has alleged that the Queen said "thank goodness" after being informed by one of her aides that the Duchess of Sussex would be absent from the funeral, which took place on 17 April 2021.

Buckingham Palace has declined to comment on the claims made in the biography, which is set to hit bookshelves this week.The funeral of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, came just one month after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took part in their now-infamous Oprah Winfrey interview.

The combination of allegations were devastating to the Royal Family, including the allegation that "several conversations" were had within the family regarding the colour of their then-unborn son Archie’s skin.The new book, titled Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors, is set to add more detail to the aftermath of the bombshell Oprah interview, and has been serialised in a number of newspapers.
