American member of the British royal family and a former actress who was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Meghan Markle has reportedly reached out to Queen Elizabeth to share her condolences over the death of her husband, Prince Philip.

 

On Saturday, April 10, a source told US Weekly that “Meghan and Harry have already spoken to the Queen to express their sympathies.”

 

Meghan Markle will not be attending Prince Philip’s funeral in person this Saturday, April 17, as her doctor didn’t clear her to fly because of her pregnancy.

 

But Meghan and Prince Harry dedicated the homepage of their non-profit Archewell to Prince Philip on Friday, April 9 immediately after his death was announced.

 

They shared a brief tribute to him which read, “In loving memory of His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh 1921-2021. Thank you for your service… You will be greatly missed.”

Meghan and her husband were interviewed by Oprah Winfrey in a television special Oprah with Meghan and Harry for CBS, broadcast on March 7, 2021 where she spoke about “stepping into life as a royal, marriage, motherhood” and “how she is handling life under intense public pressure”.

She discussed contemplating suicide during her time as a working royal and talked about a perceived lack of protection for her and her son while being part of the royal institution. Prince Harry joined her later, and the couple talked about the initial difficulties associated with their move to the United States in 2020 and their plans for the future
