Speaking to the royal podcast, Pod Save the Queen, Ingrid Seward said: “Philip welcomed Meghan at the beginning. He was an outsider, he knows what he feels like.

“He feels he’s had a part to play, he can do something useful and help her, but whether he ever managed to do something I don’t know.

“I think he is completely baffled by Harry and Meghan’s desperation to leave the royal family. I think he feels they had so much going for them.”
