Just over six years ago Meghan Markle walked down the aisle to marry Prince Harry in a lavish ceremony at Windsor Castle. The Royal Family and guests from the world of Showbiz, Politics and Sport packed into St George's Chapel to see the couple exchange vows. Meghan wore a stunning Givenchy wedding gown and he day seemed to go off without a hitch which proved to be a relief to many - as the lead-up to the beautiful day had seen some tension, especially when it came to Meghan's dad.
With less than a week to go before the main event, Meghan's father announced he would not be attending due to a health scare, leaving the bride with nobody to walk her down the aisle. The now-King Charles intervened at the final hour, but his heartwarming gesture left the late Queen "not comfortable", a book has claimed. With nobody to walk her down the aisle, Meghan's future father-in-law Charles, who was still Prince of Wales at the time, offered to step in, telling his daughter-in-law he would be honoured to escort her to the altar of the chapel.
But writing in her book, My Mother and I, royal biographer Ingrid Seward says: "The Queen was not comfortable with the Prince of Wales standing in for Meghan's father, Thomas Markle, and was similarly concerned about a 96-year-old Prince Philip walking down the aisle without a stick, having had a hip replacement only five weeks before." Prince Harry's 'biggest barrier' preventing King Charles reunion - and it's not Meghan Markle Meghan Markle and Prince.
