When Meghan Markle accepted King Charles III’s generous invitation on her wedding day, he was astounded.
A day before her wedding in 2018, the Suits star was left alone when her father Thomas Markle was unable to attend.
The Duchess of Sussex was left without a bridesmaid because of the terrible situation. At that point, the king proposed he accompany his future daughter-in-law.
Royal biographer Robert Hardman writes in Daily Mail: “The reply, according to one friend, was not quite what he was expecting: ‘Can we meet halfway?’
“Here was an indicator that this was no blushing bride, but a confident, independent woman determined to make a grand entrance on her own.”
Later, Prince Harry himself praised his father in a documentary marking his 70th birthday.
“I asked him to and I think he knew it was coming and he immediately said ‘Yes, of course, I’ll do whatever Meghan needs, and I’m here to support you’.
“For him that’s a fantastic opportunity to step up and be that support, and you know he’s our father so of course he’s going to be there for us. I was very grateful for him to be able to do that,” he noted.
