MEGHAN MARKLE will not be attending Prince Philip’s funeral alongside her husband, Prince Harry, who plans to attend.

On Saturday, one day after the Duke of Edinburgh’s death, Buckingham Palace officials announced a private funeral will be held at Windsor Castle on April 17.

The palace said Philip took part in planning his funeral and the focus on family was in accordance with his wishes. The duke died at the age of 99. Prince Harry, who stepped away from royal duties last year and now lives in California, will attend the service along with other members of the royal family. His wife, Meghan Markle, who is pregnant, has been advised by her doctor not to attend.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their decision to step back as senior members of the British royal family last year and have since relocated to California, where they live with their son Archie.

Harry’s attendance will mark the first time he’s reunited with his British royal family members since he and his wife did a viral interview with Oprah Winfrey. During the two-hour CBS special, Harry revealed that his relationships with his father, Prince Charles, 72, and his older brother, Prince William, have ruptured.

He later revealed in a February interview that he kept in touch with his grandfather and grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, over Zoom.

Funeral details were released Saturday hours after military teams across the U.K. and on ships at sea fired 41-gun salutes to mark the death of the duke, honoring the former naval officer whom they considered one of their own.

Batteries in London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast as well as other cities around the U.K. and the Mediterranean outpost of Gibraltar fired the volleys at one-minute intervals beginning at midday. Ships including the HMS Montrose, a frigate patrolling the Persian Gulf, offered their own salutes. (SD-Agencies)
