[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really hope Meghan goes.  He was quite fond of her and vice versa.  I think they were closer than he was to Anne, Sophie, and Kate [/quote]

Ha!  Meghan wasn't there long enough to form a relationship.[/quote]

True. But I think he found Kate vacuous and stupid. Meghan was interesting and intelligent. [/quote]

Not at all. Philip’s biographer, Ingrid Seward, said that Philip admired Kate’s  athletic abilities and her support of William  whilst in the military and then as an air ambulance pilot.  Kate’s paternal grandfather was a decorated World War II pilot who few Philip on part of a Commonwealth tour.  Two of her aunts also worked at Bletchley, and both Philip and the Queen felt that kinship of war veterans with Kate’s family.

Seward also wrote that Philip was polite to Meghan, but likened her to Wallis Simpson when she and Harry wanted one foot in the royal family and one foot in the States.  Philip noted that Diana Spencer and Sarah Ferguson tried what he called the same shenanigans and he shut them out. The Queen  refused to allow Philip to attend the Sandringham meeting when Charles, William, and Harry worked out the details of the Sussex’s stepping down.  He had likened Meghan too frequently to the other American divorcée — someone the Queen also disliked because of the effect her husband’s abdication had on the Queen and her family.

After that meeting, Meghan was done and dusted with the Queen and Philip.

Admiring someone’s athletic abilities doesn’t really mean you don’t think they’re vacuous and stupid. The world is full of dumb athletes. But I could believe the rest of what Seward said with respect to Kate. But she doesn’t seem to be his type of person. Philip seems to surround himself with young, beautiful, women that are a little scandalous. Like Penny. Meghan seems more in that mold. But I doubt he was with it enough by the time Meghan came around to have a real opinion on any of this stuff. He has looked horrible for the last couple of years and retired from public life for a reason. I also don’t think he was as involved in all of the palace intrigue after he stepped down seeing as he spent most of his time at Wood Farm.  Seems unlikely that he was knocking down the door to go talk about someone so far down the line as Harry. Harry and Meghan are a million times less consequential than Diana and the Queen’s uncle were as the mother of the heir and reigning monarch, respectively. [/quote]
