Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made the decision to not attend Prince Philip’s memorial service which took place at Westminster Abbey on March 29 but are in The Netherlands where the couple will appear at the Invictus Games this weekend. Loose Women panellist Jane Moore has claimed that the Duke’s absence was “primarily a fit of pique” after claiming his royal status had been “downgraded”.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were concerned about “security fears” but the Home Office rejected the couple’s request for police protection.

Meghan and Harry will now be in Europe since quitting the Royal Family in 2020.

Dutch police added that they will also be given “VVIP status” to ensure their safety on the trip.

Speaking in her latest column, the 59-year-old claimed that Harry’s absence at his grandfather’s memorial service was because of his royal status being snubbed.

Jane began: “Well, well, well.

“After missing Prince Philip’s memorial service for ‘security reasons’, it seems the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are to travel to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games this weekend.”

She continued: “Former Met Police Inspector Ken Wharfe, who helped guard Princes William and Harry, says: ‘It is more of a risk to go to Holland to support a charity with a military link than come to London.’ Quite.”

“Perhaps confirming my suggestion that Harry’s absence was primarily a fit of pique at his family for downgrading his royal status, rather than down to security fears over the UK’s refusal to give him official police protection,” Jane concluded in The Sun.
