The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who made a set of astonishing claims about the royals in their bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview, issued a brief statement on their Archewell website on Friday after the Duke of Edinburgh’s death was announced. But Harry and Meghan’s message has not helped the situation with the royals, according to a royal insider.

The source told The Daily Telegraph: “There’s a natural order here and they just ignored it by putting their own statement out, without telling anyone, before the Prince of Wales had even issued a response.

“Quite a few people read it and thought: ‘Is that all they’ve got to say?’”

Prince Charles spoke of his “dear Papa” from his Gloucestershire home on Saturday, before Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Prince Andrew made comments on Sunday.

Meghan and Harry’s statement on Friday read: “In loving memory of His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh, 1921-2021. Thank you for your service… you will be greatly missed.”

Harry is returning to Britain for the first time since his and Meghan’s explosive TV interview for Philip’s funeral on Saturday.

The Queen’s grandson is reported to have arrived in the UK from the US, but this has not been confirmed.

Pregnant Meghan will not join Harry as she has been advised against flying.

The Sussexes’ controversial interview with Winfrey aired last month while Philip was in hospital.
