More from the article:
Insights into Philip's thoughts on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's decision and the deeply acrimonious fall-out as a result of it have been aired by his impeccably connected biographer, Gyles Brandreth in today's Daily Mail.
His account comes as royal sources reacted angrily to the suggestion the Duke of Edinburgh would have been 'unbothered' by recent events. And one insider told the Mail they believed the schism created by the couple would take a 'lifetime' to heal......
.....Ultimately, Philip loved Harry, admired him for his service career and thought him 'a good man'.
I found this bit very sad:
Mr Brandreth said Philip responded to the rift by saying: 'I'll soon be out of it and not before time.'
