According to The Sun, the Duke of Edinburgh was reportedly angry about the couples shock decision.

A royal source revealed to the publication: “To say that the Duke feels let down would be a considerable understatement. He is deeply hurt.

“He has left the Queen in absolutely no doubt about how he feels. Philip has accused Harry and Meghan of lacking respect and he is weary of their behaviour".
