Late Queen ‘left uncomfortable’ after King Charles’s gesture at Meghan Markle’s wedding

The late Queen Elizabeth II is said to have been left feeling “uncomfortable” over certain elements of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding day in 2018 – as well as by a sweet gesture to the bride from the now-King Charles.

A new book by Ingrid Seward, titled ‘My Mother and I’, has revealed that the late Queen was “not comfortable” with the thought of the then-Prince Charles standing in for the bride’s father, Thomas Markle

Upon news that Thomas was unable to make the wedding, it was revealed that Charles was delighted at the prospect of walking his new daughter-in-law down the aisle.

According to the book, the late Queen was also concerned about her beloved husband Prince Philip, who was then aged 96, “walking down the aisle without a stick”. The late royal had undergone a hip replacement “only five weeks before” the wedding in May 2018.

Speaking in the documentary, ‘Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70’, Harry recalled asking his father if he would do the honour of walking his bride-to-be down the aisle.

The Duke, 40, said: “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’.”

It was also revealed Meghan had left the King surprised with one major request after Harry’s question.
