“I think that Prince Philip was very canny about people and he didn’t always see bad in people, he often tried to see the good in them,” Seward said.
“He just could not get away from the similarities between Meghan and Harry and Edward and Ms Simpson, which his why he used to call her the Duchess of Windsor. Not to her face though, he used to call her DOW,” she added.
In her book ‘My Mother and I’, Seward delves more into Prince Philip’s worries about Meghan, describing him as “wary” of the former Suits actress and her possible impact on the royal family.
While Prince Philip viewed Meghan as potentially disruptive, Queen Elizabeth II had “high hopes” for her, suggesting opposing views within the royal family about Meghan’s role and impact.
