Meghan Markle 'Did Her Bit' for Philip's Funeral by Sending Note and Wreath, Friend Says



Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, tragically passed just over a week ago.

As the funeral came to an end, people noticed a heartwarming tribute from the absent Meghan Markle. Though not everyone is happy about it ...

The dreaded news broke on the morning of Friday, April 9.


Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, had sadly passed away.

The news of Philip's death was announced in a statement by the royal family.


"It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh," it read.

​"His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle."


"The Royal Family join with people around the world in mourning his loss. Further announcements will be made in due course."

Prince Philip was the longest serving royal consort in British history.


And he was by the Queen's side throughout her 6 decades of reign.

But of course, it was no secret that Philip had been unwell for quite sometime now...


Prince Philip's health had been slowly deteriorating for the past few years.

Over time, he was treated for a number of conditions including a bladder infection back in 2012 and surgery on his abdomen in June 2013.


Stepping down from royal engagements in May 2017, Philip even joked he could no longer stand up before having hip surgery a year later.

Around the Christmas period in 2019, we saw the duke spend 4 nights in hospital for observation and treatment in relation to a "pre-existing condition".


But his longest stay came earlier this year...

Philip was admitted to hospital in London on February, 16 after feeling unwell.


While admitted, he had a successful procedure for a pre-existing heart condition.

He was discharged just a matter of weeks ago, after his longest stay in hospital.


Many thought his discharge was positive news but sadly, it seems this was not the case.

Prince Philip died on April 9, aged ninety-nine.


He was just months short of celebrating his hundredth birthday.

As the news broke of Philips death, tributes from around the world came flooding in...








Among those were tributes from members of the royal family.


Philip's son, Prince Charles, was the first family member to speak about the loss.

Speaking from his Highgrove home, Prince Charles said: 


"My dear Papa was a very special person who I think above all else would have been amazed by the reaction and the touching things that have been said about him, and from that point of view we are, my family, deeply grateful for all that."

​"As you can imagine, my family and I miss my father enormously."


"He was a much loved and appreciated figure and apart from anything else, I can imagine, he would be so deeply touched by the number of other people here and elsewhere around the world and the Commonwealth, who also I think, share our loss and our sorrow."

Following in his fathers footsteps, Prince William penned a touching letter to his late grandfather.


Sharing it on Instagram alongside a picture of Prince Philip and great-grandson, Prince George, William wrote: "My grandfather's century of life was defined by service – to his country and Commonwealth, to his wife and Queen, and to our family."

"I feel lucky to have not just had his example to guide me, but his enduring presence well into my own adult life – both through good times and the hardest days. I will always be grateful that my wife had so many years to get to know my grandfather and for the kindness he showed her."​


"I will never take for granted the special memories my children will always have of their great-grandpa coming to collect them in his carriage and seeing for themselves his infectious sense of adventure as well as his mischievous sense of humour!"

​"My grandfather was an extraordinary man and part of an extraordinary generation. Catherine and I will continue to do what he would have wanted and will support The Queen in the years ahead," he continued.


"I will miss my Grandpa, but I know he would want us to get on with the job."

Prince Harry also followed suit, issuing a personal statement on the Archewell Foundation website.


In the statement, titled "In loving memory of His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh," Harry wrote:

"My grandfather was a man of service, honor, and great humor. He was authentically himself, with a seriously sharp wit, and could hold the attention of any room due to his charm — and also because you never knew what he might say next."

​"He will be remembered as the longest reigning consort to the Monarch, a decorated serviceman, a Prince and a Duke. But to me, like many of you who have lost a loved one or grandparent over the pain of this past year, he was my grandpa: master of the barbecue, legend of banter, and cheeky right 'til the end."


"He has been a rock for Her Majesty The Queen with unparalleled devotion, by her side for 73 years of marriage, and while I could go on, I know that right now he would say to all of us, beer in hand, 'Oh do get on with it!'"

​"So, on that note, Grandpa, thank you for your service, your dedication to Granny, and for always being yourself. You will be sorely missed, but always remembered—by the nation and the world. Meghan, Archie, and I (as well as your future great-granddaughter) will always hold a special place for you in our hearts."


"'Per Mare, Per Terram'"

Of course, many questions have been raised in regards to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's attendance at Prince Philip's funeral.


As the couple now reside in California.

Meghan Markle did not join Harry in the UK after doctors advised against her making a transatlantic flight.


Meghan is currently heavily pregnant with their second child.

Following the Duke's passing the UK entered into an 8-day period of mourning.


During which Union flags flew at half-mast.

Any laws that needed to be given the Royal Assent of affairs of state were put on hold.


And the Queen stepped away from any duties.

Although, despite the mourning period remaining, the Queen did return to work last week.


Just 4 days after her husband's passing, the Queen hosted a ceremony at Windsor Castle to mark the retirement of her household's most senior official.

Prince Philip's funeral took place this weekend.


On Saturday, April 17.

It took place at 3 pm at St George's Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle with just thirty guests allowed.


Ahead of that, the Duke's body was transported from the Quadrangle at Windsor Castle to the church in a specially-modified Land Rover that Philip helped design.

There was military presence with personnel from the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Army, and RAF.


With senior members of the royal family, including Prince Charles and Prince William, walking behind the car on the way to the church.

Buckingham Palace said the plans "very much" reflected the Duke's wishes.


As Prince Philip is reported to have requested minimal fuss.

Just before the funeral, footage emerged of Prince William and Harry together.


They were seen standing close to one another before the funeral began.

And as the funeral came to an end.


The two brothers were pictured leaving together.

​They were also seen sharing a few words with each other.


They need each other.

But even though Meghan couldn't be there ...


She did make a sweet contribution that got the whole internet talking.


















Omid Scobie has spoken out.​


"A wreath was provided by both Harry and Meghan and laid for the Duke of Edinburgh that was handmade by a florist that they'd used for Archie's christening at Windsor Castle, and for the evening reception at Frogmore Gardens - again something that took place at Windsor."

​"I think everyone will be very happy with the input that they've had into all of this," Scobie said.


"We've seen all of the family members involved in their own way throughout the week."

​"We've also seen signs from those that haven't been able to attend."


"Of course the Sussexes were represented in full at the funeral."

​Rest in peace, Prince Philip.


1921-2021.
