Those who attended the Duke of Edinburgh 's memorial service this morning were discussing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's absence with the late royal's former protection officer describing their excuse for not attending as "nonsense".
Richard Griffin, who was responsible for the safety of both the Queen and Prince Philip for 14 years, attended today's event but was disappointed not to see the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in attendance to pay their respects.
According to The Mirror, Harry has said he cannot return to the UK due to safety concerns, which have become the subject of his latest legal battle, this time against the Home Office.
