While we know that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, wasn’t a favorite among her royal in-laws, with some of them giving her horrid nicknames and others allegedly trying to ostracize her. However, one of the royals who had the biggest problem with her was allegedly the late Prince Philip, and a new biography claims he had some choice words about her wedding to Prince Harry.
In his upcoming book The Royal Butler: My Remarkable Life in Royal Service, Grant Harrold claimed that Philip had a rather harsh four-word response to Harry and Meghan’s 2018 wedding. He claimed that after the ceremony at St. George’s Chapel concluded, he said something to his wife, the late Queen Elizabeth II.
