Prince Harry is slammed for missing Prince Philip's memorial service

Prince Harry has been slammed for staying in California and 'not bothering' to attend Prince Philip's memorial at Westminster Abbey this morning - with the late Duke's former protection officer describing his absence as 'pathetic'. 

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex remained at their $14million mansion in Montecito while the rest of the Royal Family, including the Queen despite recent health issues, gathered in London for the poignant event.

Harry, who is due to travel to the Netherlands in two weeks to attend the Invictus Games, refused to travel over a row about his security.  

The Duke, 37, is pursuing a legal challenge against the Home Office after being told he would no longer be given the 'same degree' of personal protective security when visiting from the US,  mersin escort despite offering to pay for it himself. 

However, his excuse was branded 'pathetic' by Richard Griffin, who spent 14 years as a royal protection officer for Prince Philip. 

He said: 'Prince Philip was their grandfather so William has obviously had a great training from him and is going to learn examples from him.

I just hope Harry gets some of these things in his mind.

'It [Harry not being here] was a big disappointment for everybody. People were talking about it. Certainly around where I was people were saying he should have been here. 

'All this nonsense about how he couldn't get protection, as far as I'm concerned that was a pathetic excuse.

He should've been here to honour his grandfather.

'At the end of the day, if he was that worried about security, he could've stuck with his brother and father who have got wonderful security and he would have been more than safe.'

Other royal watchers also slammed Harry for being the only senior royal to miss the tribute to Prince Philip, with GMB presenter Richard Madeley asking: 'What is he playing at?'

Royal expert Angela Levin tweeted: 'Heart warming to see the great grandchildren at Prince Philip's thanksgiving service.

Plenty of royals, and hundred of those connected to his charities. No one will forget or forgive he who didn't feel safe.' 

Fans took to Twitter to criticise the Duke of Sussex. One wrote: 'I always defend Prince Harry no matter what but now he can royally kiss my fat a**.
He's far too important to attend his grandads memorial.'

Another said: 'It's shameful that Prince Harry refused to attend, but this is the same guy that trashed his family on global TV while his grandfather lay seriously ill in hospital.'

While a third commented: 'Sorry but Prince Harry should be there, no question and no debate.
