Forums Dancehall Reggae Prince Harry, Meghan Markle mourn Prince Philip in brief initial statement

Posted April 10, 2021 12:01 PM

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, issued a brief statement acknowledging the death of his grandfather Prince Philip on Friday amid a broader outpouring of grief for the Duke of Edinburgh.

The pair, who now live in California, mourned Philip’s passing in a short memorial on the homepage of their Archewell Foundation website.

“In loving memory of His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh,” the statement read, along with the years of his birth and death.

“Thank you for your service … You will be greatly missed.”

The couple did not immediately appear on video or issue any longer statements about Philip within the first several hours of his death. Current and former world leaders released many of their own lengthy tributes.

Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, also did not issue any specific statements to mourn William’s grandfather over that time. Instead, their Twitter account retweeted statements from the Royal Family.

Queen Elizabeth II‘s husband died at the age of 99, Buckingham Palace announced on Friday. His death came after he was released from a weeks-long stay in the hospital.

His hospitalization in early March coincided with Harry and Markle’s first high-profile interview following their departure from the Royal Family. The couple sat down with Oprah Winfrey and spoke at length about their struggles with the “toxic” British media and the pressures of life as working Royal Family members.

They also alleged that someone within the Royal Family had raised questions about the potential colour of Archie’s skin before he was born.

Oprah later conveyed on their behalf that the Queen and Prince Philip were not part of that skin-colour discussion.

The Queen is expected to enter an eight-day mourning period leading up to Philip’s funeral later this month. Full plans for the event were not immediately released.

Harry and Markle did not share their own potential travel plans for such an event.

The British pundit unloaded several attacks against Markle during a friendly, hour-long interview with Fox News opinion host Tucker Carlson on Monday.

“I was an outrage. I wasn’t allowed to have an opinion that I didn’t believe what she was saying, even though it was clear to me in real time as I was watching the interview that there were a number of things which couldn’t be true,” he said.

Carlson presented Morgan as someone whose “free speech” had been silenced, although it was reportedly Morgan who decided to leave his on-air job. He kept his job as a columnist at the Daily Mail tabloid, and has continued to feud with (and often block) critics on Twitter.

Morgan walked off his ITV morning show in March after blasting Markle for her and Prince Harry‘s sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey. Markle revealed during that chat that she struggled with her mental health and suicidal thoughts during her time in the British media spotlight — something that Morgan claimed was a lie before his on-air meltdown.

On Monday, Morgan told Carlson that he stands by his comments and that he has “universal support” for them among the British public. He also blamed his departure on “cancel culture” — an issue that has become a frequent topic of outrage among conservatives, including Carlson, in recent months. Carlson has often framed cancel culture as a left-wing weapon, though examples of it routinely play out on both sides of the political spectrum.
“I’ve had plenty of time to analyze all the analysis of what she was saying and what Prince Harry was saying, and I still don’t believe what they were saying,” Morgan told Carlson. He went on to say that many of their claims had been disproven, without citing evidence, and suggested that he was a victim of “woke liberals” who back Markle.

“Either you sign up to her fake narrative or you have to be destroyed — it’s the purest personification of fascism,” Morgan said of Markle, before pivoting to plug his new book.

He also suggested that he was merely being a journalist by questioning Markle’s narrative.

“I should be able to be a journalist and question those statements,” Morgan said. He did not address his comment from last month, when he suggested that he simply does not believe anything she says.

“I wouldn’t believe her if she read me a weather report,” Morgan said at the time.
