Prince Philip had “fruity words” to say about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Oprah interview, a royal expert has claimed.
The late Duke of Edinburgh was in hospital when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s sit-down chat with Oprah Winfrey was aired in March last year.
According to royal experts however, the Prince, who died in April last year, would have been aware of the shocking claims.
The fallout as the Queen would have still been speaking to her husband during his hospital stay, the Daily Mirror reports.
Speaking to Royalty TV's The Royal Beat at the time, Roya Nikkhah Royal Editor at The Sunday Times said: “We hear from people close to The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh that she still discusses family matters with him and still sees him as the head of the family, behind the scenes.
"The character that Prince Philip is, I don’t think for a second that he won’t have been reading the papers in the hospital.
"I suspect he would have known a lot of what was going on. I think he would have had a few fruity words to say about the Oprah interview, put it that way."
During the programme, the Mirror's royal editor Russell Myers added: "Prince Philip probably wanted to bash some heads together I would imagine. He is not one for any nonsense.
"I'm sure his advice would be ‘everyone needs to settle down and stop sniping at each other’.”

Ingrid Seward, the editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, believes Philip may have compared Harry to his mum, Princess Diana.
She said: "[Prince Philip] had a run in with Diana towards the end of her life, so you can imagine the things he might have said.”
The Daily Star has approached Buckingham Palace for comment.
