Memoir Alleges Prince Philip’s F-Bomb at Sussex Wedding as Harry’s Quiet VJ Day Tribute Draws Criticism

The claim comes from former butler Grant Harrold’s forthcoming memoir, and separate reports say Harry had a friend leave a wreath and letter at the National Memorial Arboretum after the official ceremony.

Overview

  • An excerpt published by The Telegraph from Grant Harrold’s upcoming book quotes Prince Philip saying, “Thank f*** that’s over,” as family exited Harry and Meghan’s 2018 wedding at St George’s Chapel.
  • Harrold’s memoir, The Royal Butler, is set for release on September 23, and the royal household has not publicly commented on the anecdote.
  • Reports from Vanity Fair and GB News say Prince Harry asked a friend to place a wreath and a typed letter bearing his seal at the National Memorial Arboretum on VJ Day to honor Philip’s WWII service.
  • Unnamed sources quoted by the Daily Mail and GB News criticized the gesture as “hypocrisy” and suggested palace unease, reflecting reactions based on anonymous insider accounts rather than official statements.
  • Background context from prior reporting notes Philip died in 2021 at 99 and that biographer Ingrid Seward has said he was welcoming to Meghan when she married into the family.
