WhenPrince HarryandMeghan murder announced their commitment last November, many royal observers wondered why the prince was so in a hurry to go down the alley after the meeting of his fiancée for a period of 16 months, especially since his previous serious relations had taken place for years.

The only important reason, according to several royal insiders, was because Harry wants to make sure that his grandparents can be part of his marriage and it is more and more concerned about the health of his 96-year-old grandfather,Prince Philip, who has retired officially from his royal duties last summer. "Harry did not want to risk not having his grandfather there to see him getting married," said a royal source.

The new concerns for the health of Prince Philip have emerged since it was absent from the Easter Sunday church service from Royals to the Chapel of Saint-George. (Harry and Meghan also jumped the service opting to celebrate the "private" holidays and probably prepare their first appearance at the chapel for the day of wedding.)

Philippe was also absent at the religious service of Money Money Thursday, where the queen symbolically distributes silver pieces like Almers in the elderly and he could not be present forPrince Andrew's Introduction to the role of Colonel des Gardes de Grenadier the previous week.

The "Iron Duke" - it is affectionately known - has been seen less and less in public since its official retirement, but always attends official commitments with theQueen Elizabeth II. But a source close to the palace stated that there is a simple explanation of the absences of Philip: "The Duke of Edinburgh has a problem with his hip, who affects his mobility. It is a proud man and does not want to appear disabled in public. "

Harry and Meghan selected the Chapel of St. George near the castle of Windsor for May 19^e Partly wedding because the prince knew it would be the most practical for his grandparents. The initiate explained Harry's special bond with his grandfather, saying, "Harry and the Duke share a lot of interest - both have loved to be in the army and both have been very competitive in the field. They are very fond. They are very fond. "

It was the duke that came to the rescue at the funeral of Princess Diana when his young sons in mourning did not know if they could walk behind the coffin of their mother. "If I walk, are you walking with me?" The Duke would have asked William and Harry. The two boys accompanied their grandfather, his father and uncle, Diana's brother,Charles Spencer On the long walk to Westminster Abbey in the funeral procession.
